Customer Reviews

Not A Good Planetarium, But Real Neat Night Light
My mom got this for my son for Christmas. What a disappointment.

First of all, let me say, the packaging is great, the idea is great, and the extras (an audio CD giving commentary and a software package are cool) are pretty neat, but for what it's worth, you could get a better effect with a flash light and a mirror ball for what this does.

The stars appear as smudges of light on the ceiling. I'm sure if I put this thing on a platform around 6 foot high, the focus would be better. But as it stands, it's just a bunch of lights on the ceiling and walls.

My son does enjoy the little meteor flashlight and enjoyed simulating meteors flying across the sky.

It has a night light option, but I didn't feel like installing the batteries. I think the whole thing would make a great night light.

Total Disappointment
My brother bought this Star Theatre for my 10 year old daughter. What a joke. She wants me to put a shelf up in her room 3 feet from the ceiling so she can actually SEE the diagrams. As mentioned in other reviews, what appears on the ceiling is a blur. My daughter is very disappointed.
Misleading product. Agree with others, nothing but an expensive night light.

Not the quality I thought...
I acutally bought this on another site and paid much more for it (grrr!) Just trying to put this thing together started to wear the tread for the screws, so I can tell that over time as we switch views that there's going to be a problem. It also needs several batteries for each section that lights. Very blurry projection unless you can get it closer to the ceiling. My eight year old seems to enjoy it though. The CD/DVD is more enjoyable than the actual theatre. Like another reviewer said - great in theory, bombs on execution.
