Vr experience, Must see, Intense, Masterful, Dizzying

See it if you want an extraordinary VR experience. There were times I thought I would fall off my seat.

Don't see it if you expect something more theatrical. This is just a great experience. No real message other than the awesomeness of space.

Intelligent, Dizzying, Enchanting, Delightful, Absorbing

See it if You want a state of the art VR experience; you want to achieve a state of childlike wonder; you love Laurie Anderson.

Don't see it if You think technology is incompatible with theater; you are really, really, phobic about heights; you are claustrophobic.

"More of a playful hallucinogenic experience than a linear lunar journey; more Timothy Leary than Neil Armstrong. …some realistic-looking images of the surface of the moon..[but also] cartoon images of dinosaurs and soaring birds made out of what look like delicate snowflakes."
