Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

trimmerb1234 Was a comedians famous catchphrase and here is what makes this popular science documentary so distinctively good. From the clear structure to the individual well-chosen contributors to the narrated script (uncredited), it was not just very lucid but engaging even compelling story-telling, the entire production done with artistry. The sense of awe, majesty and mystery which Patrick Moore's Sky at Night opening cleverly evoked, is the tone and standard yet does not compromise the solid science communicated throughout. It gives proper weight too to historic figures in astronomy using archive film clips. It is a demonstration and reminder of how science documentary-making can both be an art as well as science.I have to contrast this with the tendency to simply dispatch a (the?) popular TV scientist in a hire car to tour the USA, dropping in all over the place for a coffee and to listen with a camera crew over his shoulder.
