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.
ahighervibe Whomever wrote the script for Alec Baldwin to read, should be fired. What a bunch of negative propaganda. However, the graphics were really good - but I'd rather see the Universe video that they have at the Science Museum. Much better and not so dooms- day type of feel. I was surprised that National Geographic would put their name to something like this. Very disappointed, but it would make for a good Mystery Science Theater movie... Also, the soundtrack was pretty good also. Main dispute was the message. Whomever wrote the script for Alec Baldwin to read, should be fired. What a bunch of negative propaganda.

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.
