Most of the reviews for A Beautiful Planet admired the singular perspectives that can be seen from the ISS, like this image of southern lights. (The Space Station's solar panels are visible at the upper right.)

A Beautiful Planet is an IMAX Entertainment documentary produced in collaboration with NASA and filmed aboard the International Space Station by astronaut crews. Narrated by Jennifer Lawrence, it was produced and directed by Toni Myers.[4]

The film offers distinctive views of Earth and provides insight into the day-to-day activities of the crews, captured over fifteen months aboard the space station. It also examines the impact of humans on Earth and its potential analogues in the Milky Way.[5]

A Beautiful Planet was first released in the United States in 2016 and later aired in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia/CIS.[6]
