I am always pleased when I get the chance to review IMAX films, especially when they are in 3D. In “Magnificent Desolation,” we get the opportunity to sense what it must have been like for those early lunar explorers. In 40 minutes, we are whisked away on a journey to the moon that is only slightly less educational than it is inspiring. This is not as much a fault of the director as it is the limited time he is given to share the journey. Remember, the definitive docu-drama covering the Apollo missions, “From the Earth to the Moon,” was given the luxury of telling its story in twelve 60 minute episodes. Still, the 3D experience gives you a real feel for being in the tiny space capsule as well as experiencing the immense vistas of the moon’s surface.
