Nonureva Really Surprised!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

shahjrahman ...And finally I've come to the very first thing from my list of thousands of titles seen that's worth me spending time to write about.Don't get me wrong, I've seen other wonderful documentaries, movies, serials etc., but here we have a documentary on a topic that fascinates me more than anything. So, while I apologies for my bias, I suspect it is bias which has played a major role on this title not receiving 10/10 all across the board. To me this documentary-movie is the greatest piece of art in television history because it visualises the absolute boundaries of the human knowledge. To take the viewer through a 'zoom-out style' journey is brilliant in its own right, but to achieve subtly highlighting just how small we are is another major plus. It's been 10 years (at the time of my review), I have watched it countless times, and the narration throughout has informed me loud and clear that we are probably just scratching the surface.Dear NatGeo, please tell me more.

oragex If you've seen Hubble 3D, you might think that it's the ultimate space documentary, that nothing can be better. Well, that's wrong. Because "Journey to the Edge of the Universe" is two times more interesting than Hubble 3D.This documentary is the most detailed and complete documentary about the Universe, it's starts, planets and galaxies. The detail is amazing. The images are on pair with the Hubble 3D imagery.This documentary treats about the Universe, from it's tiniest component to it's largest. It's made for the general public in an amazingly clear, easy to understand and riveting approach. Congrats to the Canadian producing company Handel Productions for such perfect achievement.

jjoseph202 It's so hard to find the words to express my extreme disappointment in this "docudrama". I call it that because the scriptwriter found it necessary to add "drama" to facts in order make it seem more interesting.If you're going to take me through the universe, give me the DATA, not how I'm supposed to "feel" about it.I often got the impression when watching this film that someone said, "Hey, Carl Sagan died in 1996 without an update to 'Cosmos', so let's make a Cosmos 'wow-alike' without a narrator that knows something about the subject matter." They even stole Sagan's "we are star-stuff" line.Oh yeah, spoiler.When you get to the edge of the universe, you'll witness the Big Bang.Scientifically ludicrous.The writer(s) obviously had space and time confused.Don't watch this with the idea that you'll learn anything.Instead, imagine that the 2001: Space Odyssey stargate sequence was (over)done with modern CGI and some Hubble-type imagery.In the 70's people used to go to 2001 just to be stoned and watch the sequence. That's about what this film is good for.The script even has the kind of vacuous insights that stoners get and think they're being profound.Pompous.I guess that's why they picked Alec Baldwin to narrate.

jjjppplll My wife and I watched this astounding documentary last night. We both sat there with our mouths literally agape as this astonishing film pulled us into a journey from earth, through our solar system, our Galaxy, galaxies beyond our own, and all the way back to the beginning of time. As another reviewer commented, the tone is not from the point of view of "I'm a brilliant scientist and I know a lot more than you." You are guided along instead as if you were a tourist on a tour bus through the heavens. Before the film was over, I had achieved an epiphany. This to me was more than a film...it changed my life. It is beautiful, poetical, and it will shock you with its unadorned majesty.
