Diagonaldi Very well executed

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

robkubitschek Typical space and theory doc. Nothing new and kind of disappointed he would lend himself to such a simple mediocre show. Just shows how our society is becoming less and less capable. They "dumbed"it down enough and shows even Hawking's can be sold out. Ill take nova or any other PBS show any day. Plus it's his robotic voice. Trust a man who wants to travel through space in a wheel chair through a worm hole but yet can't have a program that mimics just voice or even that of a human. Yea smart but really? Why bring yourself to that level.so you be the judge but I see this as a modern day jab at something they wish they could reproduce so choose an aging Hawkins

rgcustomer Compared to other similar documentary miniseries (Wonders of the Universe, Cosmos) I found this one to be somewhat sloppy and cheesy in tone.In terms of script, consider just two things I remember from the third episode: 1. Stephen Hawking (or his narrator) calls us a breed of monkey, when in fact we're a species of ape. 2. Stephen Hawking (or his narrator) says that for a room floor covered in evenly-spaced spheres, they all experience the same gravity from each other, which is of course false because the gravity at the boundaries would be different than the gravity in the middle.The first two episodes I would rate as 6/10, wild and wasteful speculation with pretty graphics and annoying music. Only the third episode is worth watching, if you understand it's been dumbed down and hyped up for today's US audiences. But because it's twice as long as the previous two, I rounded the score up to 7/10.

iMIGmaker Stephen Hawking: "Suppose we are only a highly developed breed of monkey that lives on a small planet, but we can speculate about the universe as a whole." :) Though the film bears no new information - it generalizes the previously accumulated knowledge (and this is good) but I watched it with pleasure, because it has a beautiful computer graphics and pleasant ambient music. Ending the series "History of the Universe" was a pleasant surprise - it reminded me of transhumanism. I immediately imagined the genetically modified Space Marines who travel through the galaxy for Make Benefit Glorious Imperium of Mankind :)

gary-bowers-867-414731 a brilliant series. professor hawking has created something special here - a complex subject made simpler with great examples and explanation , even i could understand - this should be required viewing in every school. the graphic's are absorbing and the dialogue holds your attention so the subject stays fresh. i could have watched this for far longer. if only it had more episodes. the last episode explaining the history of everything was gripping with science's knowledge of how the universe began and how it might possibly end shown with good explanation. the episodes start with professor hawking's computerised voice then another voice takes over after a few minutes of dialogue - at just the right point i think.
