    Best Doc about the universe

    This is by far the best documentary about the universe ever made. Why? Because it takes you on a visual journey through the universe without, as most documentaries about the universe do, interviewing experts and PhD holders.

    Mind blowing Amazing!

    If you are a friend of space documentary this is it what you were looking for, planets, comets,dark space,supernova,black holes, pulsar, empty space everything is beautifully created here, the cgi is really immersive along with Alec Baldwin voice and sounds used.

    Amazing and Visual

    If you get the chance of the two versions (Sean Pertwee or Alec Baldwin) then I'd recommend the Sean Pertwee version. His voice is so 'dreamlike' and soothing which is ideal for a journey to the edge of the universe.

    The visuals are top notch and the actual journey is a must for anyone who wants to learn about our solar system and beyond.

    I've seen this documentary on numerous occasions and it never gets old.

    It just goes to show how our tiny little planet called Earth is a minuscule grain of sand on a very, very, very large beach.

    Highly recommended.

    One word. WOW!

    First of all, I could watch this over and over. There is so much information that you cannot fully comprehend after viewing once. I have seen this DOC several times and each time I retain more and more information. Like otther reviews before me this DOC at the very least humbles you and leaves you with you jaw wide open. Personally, I am a huge Alec Baldwin fan and his voice is perfect, not only for this DOC, but just in general. Him Narratting is what initially sucked me in and kept me from changing the channel. On a personal note I am a believer of GOD and believer that he created all of what we see on in this DOC. Many people will argue that this DOC raises questions about a single creator but for me this helps to confirm it. It makes me realize that all of what was created had to be created for a reason. Everything happened too perfectly for this just to be some random coincidence with no purpose. Of course this is my opinion and we are all free to have our own. Jordan from KY,USA.

    P.S. Alec Baldwin is the man.

    Excellent all the way through!

    Walking into this title I was uncertain due to it's completely CGI approach to rendering the various celestial bodies that inhabit our universe. What I found was the animation and story telling absolutely wonderful. Alec Baldwin was good here with his subtle low voice adding a perfect match as we travel through the heavens.

    Bearing in mind I have my own views and ideas on origins, this film was still hands down an excellent production. The detailed descriptions of the various planets, stars, nebula, and black holes were all there. The best part about it is that they took you to those places-close up, in the comfort of your living room.

    I'm a big fan of shows like "The Universe" and other various science documentaries and I found this to be top notch. Sit back, grab a snack and a cold one and enjoy this fine flick. 5 out of 5 stars and an IMDb 10.
