Good stuff...just 3 minutes in, but I've already added it to my Favorites list.
It is cool they can have stuff on the "floor" cause you can just fly over everything 
Indeed, there is a lot more room than I thought in there
One thing though, it does seem a bit like a clutter fest, even after they cleaned up, there is stuff everywhere, and wires and cables and equipment, you really have to be careful flying through the modules cause you wouldn't want to knock anything or pull on any cables or wires

True, especially Zarya (the FGB) is cluttered, but that's because it wasn't too spacious too begin with.
But there are six guys living there for months on end, all the equipment and food they need in between Progress, ATCV and Shuttle supply runs, not to mention some of the equipment for STS-127 coming up next month. I do feel a bit sorry for Bob Tirsk, though, having to sleep in an unused corner of Kibo. On the other hand, he won't be needing ear plugs every night, like Padalka and Barratt in Zvezda.
I learned some new things too: I never knew Unity had a dinner table like Zevzda does, and the space inside always surprises me: I mean, we didn't even see all five other crew members in the video (Barratt did mention Romanenko, but I didn't see him), so they must have more privacy then I thought.

Hollywood comparison
I see now how far from reality the 1998 Michael Bay fil "Armageddon" was in depicting the ISS and how close to reality the Mars spacecraft was in the 2000 film "Mission to Mars" especially the lighting on the spacecraft interiors.

new HD video tour of international space station
7 months later a new tour of the ISS including the docked space shuttle.
ISS Tour - Welcome To The International Space Station!
As of November 2009, the station consisted of 11 pressurised modules and an extensive integrated truss structure (ITS).

cool. I like how the sound ambience changes in each compartment with different ventilation HVAC fans blowing and the chatter from the com links over speakers and even some music in one compartment.

Re: Hollywood comparison
I think that was supposed to be Mir, actually. I've only seen the movie once (that was enough), but they definitely referred to it as Russian.

I really like that second tour. I've never seen one that included a docked shuttle (Atlantis on mission STS-129, in this case). Nice to see the interior of Poisk for the first time, too.
What struck me was how messy things can get when there's a shuttle crew on board: Those space suits on the Columbus ceiling, and all that stuff on the floor of Zarya.
But yes, the ISS is always roomier than it looks, I find.

Actually, Armageddon featured a completely fictious Russian station. It wasn't supposed to be based on a real one.
Have you seen the IMAX Space Station film? It's pretty cool.
It's a lot larger than I had imagined. I suppose I'm accustomed to shots of astronauts in cramped Apollo craft and space shuttles.
