Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Also known as "Space", this is a masterpiece of a documentary. It is for all ages and explains in simple terms, the origins of our universe and our future in space, passing through every kind of known and unknown phenomenon, here on Earth or elsewhere.Sam Neill ("Event Horizon", "Jurassic Park", "Merlin") takes you by the hand and through a holographic projector "launches" you into an adventure that spans various billions of years.BBC has outdone itself in this documentary."Cosmos", hosted by Carl Sagan, was a unique milestone in explaining the Universe. It also was a masterpiece in its genre. "Hyperspace" is nothing else than its natural successor.I loved every minute of it and I kept it running and running in my DVD player until I almost memorized the data.The 3D recreations of galaxies, stars, planets and stellar phenomena are hauntingly realistic and offer a firework of the highest CGI design I have ever witnessed in a documentary of this sort.Sam Neill is a fascinating, talented and multi-faceted actor and could manage to convince you to walk on water. With his suave and debonnaire way, he manages to explain science in such a way, that even the most unaware person would accept and understand.All in all, if you are a documentary collector, or simply somebody who loves astronomy and space travel, you will have to own it.But careful! If you watch it once, you may wish to watch it again. It is highly addictive. Consult a doctor for any counter-indication.

For the most part, this series is a blast, with Sam Neill clearly having fun playing interstellar tour guide. The special effects are amazing, though some of the science is a bit basic. This makes for a rousing first and final ten minutes, with things dragging a bit in the middle.That said, this is an entertaining introduction to some of the newer and stranger theories in astronomy. Neill is at his avuncular best and the marriage of weird, stunning New Zealand scenery with all the cgi is remarkably effective. Certainly worth a look.

Another astounding BBC achievement, this series is a gift to all of us who are fascinated in space, and what's beyond. Sometimes it borders on Trek-ishness, but I don't care, because it bravely does the same thing as does Star Trek (at least Next Gen) - it dares us to the marvels of space, and of mankind, and it tells us that we are all alike and from the same seed. A small sparkling promise that all futures not have to be blackened with greed and hatred; a light in these truly Dark Ages. Of course I know very well that this isn't on the series agenda, but I can't help but see it that way. And I'm sure that a lot of the "space crazies" out there share my feelings on this. If you're one of them (us!) - don't miss this show!

This whole new series is brilliant! There really is no other way to describe this series. Sam Neill really does host this series well and the graphics are really good, for instance when the diagrams showing how stars super nova at the end of their lives you will be really impressed by the amount of detail in the computer animation. I really recommend this show for anyone who is interested in space or who has ever wondered the answer to the question 'where do we really come from?' The whole series will not be a let down to anyone who watches it!
