On Feb 11, 2012 will be the theatrical release of a dramatic movie about the Hayabusa mission. It looks like an expensive production: they built a copy of the main JAXA control room for the film.
Here is the web site: http://www.hayabusa2012.jp/index.html You can watch some trailers there. Watch the one marked 'ver 2' in particular. It's all in Japanese, but hopefully there will be an eventual DVD release with subtitles. |

Thanks for the heads-up, Blue Sky. I ordered the Blue-Ray from Amazon Japan and, amazingly, it arrived in less than a week.
I would rate the Ken Watanabe movie a bit higher than this one for drama and characterization, although you're right that the central character is well done in this one. It's been a while since I saw the Watanabe version, but my impression is that the special effects in that movie are not quite as good as they are here. And someone does actually take a swig of Lipovitan-D in this movie, which is a plus. I'd say they're both worth watching, for different takes on the mission. How often do you get movies centered around unmanned spacecraft? |
