Admirable film.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
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.

The orator sounds as if he is whispering and the background music drowns him out. I would love to have this fabulous DVD but I can only understand about one third of the verbal which is really sad. Please let me know when this gets resolved and I'll buy two DVDs. One for myself and one for my grandkids. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. An avid fan of the History channel. I hope this comment will encourage the History channel to consider making changes to the programming of shows such as this as I am sure it will help to bring the purchases of these DVDs higher than now. Very truly yours, Ron
The NASA visuals are superb. The explanation of what we are seeing is factually patchy. Superlatives excite but they seldom enlighten. It would have been far more interesting and informative if the repetitious space travel shots were reduced or voice-over used to let us know more details rather than irrelevant "whishing" sounds as we are zapped across the universe. Amazing cosmic events are named, but not explained. For instance: what happens when a galaxy is "pulled apart" and what happens on a moon that is caught in a tug-of-war? We saw the solar wind and its effect on a comet, but that was the extent of narration regarding it. In terms of providing understanding, the script sucked.
The concept is superb! This documentary had so much potential but in my humble opinion, it's marred by gooey graphics (too much, repeated and they loved their asteroids), the script missing in details/facts. For example Calling another star system doesn't sit well with me. Having an asteroid falling down a black hole (Into the event horizon..) is probably wrong. Unless the black hole is really hugeAn animation showing Io being flexed by Jupiter's gravity would have been niceHaving a warp meter at the bottom of the screen would have been fantastic, adding a small projection of the path being traveled over the solar system/galaxy would have been nice.About the voyager "If you are in the jungle, is it wise to call out..", is plain wrong. A civilization finding the voyager will probably have located us using the radio spectrum. After the 70th minute, i stopped watching. I would have loved it my teens..
