How the Universe Works Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
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.
B Decker Yes, 10/10 "How the Universe Works" is, in my opinion, simply the best astrophysics documentary in over 30 years (astro-documentary viewers will probably know what landmark series aired at that time). If you like science, gaze at the stars or have any curiosity about anything beyond your own sphere of day-to-day activity THIS SERIES WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT. For me, this is the real deal, and what many of us have been missing since Sagan's death.The series started out as a small unknown for many, without the intense fanfare given to many similar series like Tyson's "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey". But this series is quite the quiet achiever. I LEARN something every episode. Interviews with leading experts like Michio Kaku and Andrea Ghez are HIGHEST QUALITY.The season one original musical score from Richard Blair-Oliphant is INSANELY GOOD for material not otherwise sold on a CD label (but right now you can still get it on Last.FM). The visual effects are well done. Commentary is well researched. But a balance is still maintained of keeping this show informative yet hugely entertaining. I often watch a re-run before sleeping. I just love it.
nimrodtangi When I saw the lack of reviews of this magnificent documentary show I had to write something down. In my opinion this is the best show about the the universe and space to date and its taught me a lot of things I always wanted to know about our universe (and I've seen a tons of similar shows before),Lets begin with the great scientists and theoretical physicists such as Michio Kaku that explaining things we "normal" people wont usually understand in such a nice ways, and the visual effects by LOLA are great too. The show is written very well and the Narrators does a great job (personally I liked Mike Rowe better in the first season). Even the soundtrack fits perfect and I love it. Every time I watch the show its like going to a trip in a bizarre place we humans are just beginning to understand, even in the second and third time you watch it. In conclusion, I recommend this show to everyone not just space enthusiasts. Sometimes its even better or the same as watching a great drama such as Breaking Bad, True Detective etc. you should try it!
