Space or Hyperspace? This is the Answer..., 21 July 2004
Author: jlpicard1701E from Lugano, Switzerland

Also known as "Space", this is a masterpiece of a documentary. It is for all ages and explains in simple terms, the origins of our universe and our future in space, passing through every kind of known and unknown phenomenon, here on Earth or elsewhere.

Sam Neill ("Event Horizon", "Jurassic Park", "Merlin") takes you by the hand and through a holographic projector "launches" you into an adventure that spans various billions of years.

BBC has outdone itself in this documentary.

"Cosmos", hosted by Carl Sagan, was a unique milestone in explaining the Universe. It also was a masterpiece in its genre. "Hyperspace" is nothing else than its natural successor.

I loved every minute of it and I kept it running and running in my DVD player until I almost memorized the data.

The 3D recreations of galaxies, stars, planets and stellar phenomena are hauntingly realistic and offer a firework of the highest CGI design I have ever witnessed in a documentary of this sort.

Sam Neill is a fascinating, talented and multi-faceted actor and could manage to convince you to walk on water. With his suave and debonnaire way, he manages to explain science in such a way, that even the most unaware person would accept and understand.

All in all, if you are a documentary collector, or simply somebody who loves astronomy and space travel, you will have to own it.

But careful! If you watch it once, you may wish to watch it again. It is highly addictive. Consult a doctor for any counter-indication.
