BLAST! is a 2008 American feature-length documentary by Paul Devlin. The film follows a team of astrophysicists who launch a telescope, upon a high-altitude balloon from northern Sweden and again from Antarctica. The film follows the crew of scientists as they travel on a search to answer humankind's fundamental questions about the origins of the universe. The film avoids traditional narration and talking-head interviews, instead following events as they occur. The film focuses on the personal experiences of the scientists involved in the experiment.
