Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
engelhorn This series has got to be one of the most ridiculous pieces of clap-trap bullshit I have ever witnessed. You rarely get any truth in this program what-so-ever. All you ever get is speculation and guesses along with the words might be, could be, we think, possibly, etc, ad nauseam. Apparently now-a-days to be a scientist, and I use that term very loosely, you have to be a soothsayer and clairvoyant. The so called professionals in this series, and several other series I've seen some of them in, do nothing but use wild speculation on unproven theories and then miraculously come up with a scenario that tries to titillate the viewer into believing that this is fact instead of pure, unadulterated fiction. The only fact they give is how truly uninformed they really are on the entire matter and the only 'ace' they have up their sleeve is to say it with such conviction that maybe, just maybe, some of the people watching will actually believe the fantasies they conjure up in their own deluded minds. PLEASE don't fall for this malarkey. All they are doing is fooling themselves and taking your money.
Dustin Huff I give this show an 8 out of 10 only because they keep changing there answers about things like the sizes of the planets... One time they will say Mars is bigger then earth and now today's episode the lady said that Mars was smaller then earth. They also do the same with Jupiter and Saturn. You're show is one of my favorite shows but you guys need to get the stories straight.other then that this show is amazing and has no other flaws from my opinion. Also I was wounds ring if maybe the show could show what's farther out past Pluto and the asteroid belt. Just a suggestion. Big fan of mike row he's an amazing guy. Last thing maybe an episode of possible plant life growth on other planets such as Mars. Thank you.
navneetsteotia Firstly, I would like to tell you that if you are going to watch this documentary (which you definitely must) then you should watch it in HD. This whole documentary has very beautiful graphics and great interpretation of universe.Now, I have always been interested in astrology since it the the most curious area of science and the strangest too with the most potential. I have also casually studied a lot of various space phenomenon on the internet. But there is always been a lack of clarity and various questions that have been left out in the mind.(Like when stars are destroyed there is supernova or hyper-nova! but how is black-hole created if the energy is pushed out from the star during that time?). This series is an answer to all such mini-questions in our mind related to universe that are left unclear. This series provides a great educational value too.One thing this series will do is make you a fan of our universe and science. Giving you a way way way broader horizon in mind which will help you get a neutral perspective towards a certain things. Once again don't miss this series and do watch it in HD!!
freddielburrow Simply said, this is the best astronomical documentary that I've seen since Carl Sagan's "Cosmos". And believe me, that is saying a lot considering that I own every astronomy/Cosmos documentary I can find on DVD and/or Blu-ray, including all six seasons of "The Universe" which was my favorite (excluding "The Cosmos") until I saw this. If you are in to watching these type of documentaries and haven't seen this, then I can only say, you are missing at least a year worth of education. The only negative thing I have to say is that season two already isn't as good due to Mike Row not being the Narrator, but that is purely my own opinion and does not reflect the quality or quantity of information given in this season.
