Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

tridad-58367 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.

gpeltz Journey to the Edge of the Universe (2008) Written by Nigel Henbest and Billie Pink, Directed by Yavar Abbas and narrated by Alec Baldwin. Well, that was two hours wasted,Spoiler ahead, although it is hard to imagine that anything could "spoil" this documentary any further. Inane commentary tries to create awe and a sense of adventure, and fails miserably. How many, "She is beautiful to look at, but is a monster" can we take? There are far too many here.Journey to the Edge of the Universe indeed. Guess what folks, there is no edge of the Universe. I was never a believer in the Big Bang theory either, now there seem to be others who opt for an alternative. There were some breathtaking images courtesy of Hubble, but nothing one hasn't seen before if you have been anywhere near a computer. Hard to picture the target audience for this one; Nine to twelve year old astronomy buffs perhaps, but they would get bored with it too. Two stars out of Ten for the computer animation.

clayton19361 The orator sounds as if he is whispering and the background music drowns him out. I would love to have this fabulous DVD but I can only understand about one third of the verbal which is really sad. Please let me know when this gets resolved and I'll buy two DVDs. One for myself and one for my grandkids. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. An avid fan of the History channel. I hope this comment will encourage the History channel to consider making changes to the programming of shows such as this as I am sure it will help to bring the purchases of these DVDs higher than now. Very truly yours, Ron

jreafilms If you have any knowledge of production or editing, or a passion for storytelling in general, here's the first thing that comes to your mind upon watching "Journey to the Edge of the Universe": "Okay, we hired Alec Baldwin for 15 minutes, and we have to make an hour-long program...how many meaningless and poorly-executed warps through space can we cram into this baby??" The lazy, simplistic, and cheap visuals aside, there's not many shows quite so boring as this one. Watching the show for ten minutes yields one or two facts about the universe, which you'll hear over and over again before the program concludes. My mates and I found ourselves laughing hysterically at the number of times the camera "traveled" through "space"; by the end, it was inappropriately out of hand.Don't waste your time with this one, there's plenty of great productions out there that will truly expand your outlook on the universe and life itself.
