Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Up-to-date information, Good for Seventh Grade Schools
It's nice to know the latest count for the moons around Saturn and Jupiter and other later breaking space news, but as is common conclusion here, nothing really heavy otherwise. The 'flash-bang-whiz' aproach is good for junior high school classes and illustrations to explain things are fitting but distractingly numerous. My biggest disapointments; all of the many probes Nasa and others has sent out, why are these shows about 98% computer animated? Yes, the graphics are pretty but why not more real ... Read More
Rating:  - Interesting Series Leaps better than the DVD
I bought this on DVD last year, and was soo upset because the video was 4:3 letterboxed, I'm so glad the person in charge of the blu-ray didn't make the same stupid mistake (however, they did make a different one, 1080i!!!!! come on! why can't someone release this wonderful CGI filled series the way it should be seen!)
If your interested in learning more about the universe, this is a pretty good choice, especially considering the price.As far as content goes, Cosmos, this is not.But ... Read More
Rating: - No Dolby or DTS sound!
I rented this.Even though the picture comes across as 1080p/24, the sound is standard.That was disappointing.I really like BR because of its pic AND hi-def audio.
Rating: - Stunning in high definition
If ever there was a need to buy a Blu-Ray DVD player, this is it.This series is one of the most visually stunning presentations I've ever seen.Personally, I enjoyed the commentary in each episode, but I don't think it would have so much impact watching in standard definition.
Rating:  - The Universe Made Stupid
What has happened to the art of making great documentaries about science? I'm thinking about amazing programs like "The Ascent of Man" by Jacob Bronowski, "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan or even the more recent "Planets" by the BBC? The first two really communicated the history and motivation and spirit of science, and The Planets at least communicated a coherent history of planetary exploration.
I recently bought the History Channel's series "The Universe", thinking I might send a copy to my niece's ... Read More
