This was a good, one of a kind documentary movie touring to the edge of the Universe.
The graphics and visuals were high quality, though a bit cheesy especially for how bright the milky way looked from our Solar System.
The planets are crisp and clear and the exoplanets are good impressions of what they might look like up close.
It has stunning visuals and a story which teaches you whether we're alone or not.
It also teaches us that we live in the best known spot.
The soundtrack especially is amazing, it reminded me of Avatar, and this and that were made in almost the same date, so I see the connection.
I even get the genre.
And speaking of soundtracks, when I saw this, I wondered if James Horner (who died in a plane crash in 2015) composed this score, but I found that disputed.
Alpha Centauri was also shown in this, but there could've been a potential to have Polyphemus & Pandora on it(though unfortunately this was made a tad too early).
And now that Proxima Centauri b was discovered, this show needs a major update, plus the MESSENGER spacecraft and Cassini are over with, so...
They added a bunch of events to entertain us and make it remarkable.
The depth of this show makes us wonder how far can we look and the graphics make us think how could they make such a thing like that.
Of course the black holes could use improvement, now that Interstellar showed us what a black hole really looks like up close.
We got to see impressions of what the big bang theory was like, though I've seen many different impressions.
Alec Baldwin was the perfect narrator for this movie, he does the U.S. version (this), whereas Sean Pertwee does the U.K. version (which I'm not from).
If there were an updated version at 60 or 120 FPS, then it would be a top notch masterpiece and would be a classic movie.
It gave us new perspectives of our known universe and depths that even telescopes could not achieve.
It gives us ideas about our future.
One day, we will all die, the world will end, and we'll be in our Sun's menu.
But like Alec Baldwin said, we should rejoice and realize how important our matter is in the universe and how it's within us.
