Watch National Geographic: Journey to the Edge of the Universe For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Let's be realistic.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blistering performances.

This was a good, one of a kind documentary movie touring to the edge of the Universe. The graphics and visuals were high quality, though a bit cheesy especially for how bright the milky way looked from our Solar System. The planets are crisp and clear and the exoplanets are good impressions of what they might look like up close. It has stunning visuals and a story which teaches you whether we're alone or not. It also teaches us that we live in the best known spot. The soundtrack especially is amazing, it reminded me of Avatar, and this and that were made in almost the same date, so I see the connection. I even get the genre. And speaking of soundtracks, when I saw this, I wondered if James Horner (who died in a plane crash in 2015) composed this score, but I found that disputed. Alpha Centauri was also shown in this, but there could've been a potential to have Polyphemus & Pandora on it(though unfortunately this was made a tad too early). And now that Proxima Centauri b was discovered, this show needs a major update, plus the MESSENGER spacecraft and Cassini are over with, so... They added a bunch of events to entertain us and make it remarkable. The depth of this show makes us wonder how far can we look and the graphics make us think how could they make such a thing like that. Of course the black holes could use improvement, now that Interstellar showed us what a black hole really looks like up close. We got to see impressions of what the big bang theory was like, though I've seen many different impressions. Alec Baldwin was the perfect narrator for this movie, he does the U.S. version (this), whereas Sean Pertwee does the U.K. version (which I'm not from). If there were an updated version at 60 or 120 FPS, then it would be a top notch masterpiece and would be a classic movie. It gave us new perspectives of our known universe and depths that even telescopes could not achieve. It gives us ideas about our future. One day, we will all die, the world will end, and we'll be in our Sun's menu. But like Alec Baldwin said, we should rejoice and realize how important our matter is in the universe and how it's within us.

Journey to the Edge of the Universe (2008) Written by Nigel Henbest and Billie Pink, Directed by Yavar Abbas and narrated by Alec Baldwin. Well, that was two hours wasted,Spoiler ahead, although it is hard to imagine that anything could "spoil" this documentary any further. Inane commentary tries to create awe and a sense of adventure, and fails miserably. How many, "She is beautiful to look at, but is a monster" can we take? There are far too many here.Journey to the Edge of the Universe indeed. Guess what folks, there is no edge of the Universe. I was never a believer in the Big Bang theory either, now there seem to be others who opt for an alternative. There were some breathtaking images courtesy of Hubble, but nothing one hasn't seen before if you have been anywhere near a computer. Hard to picture the target audience for this one; Nine to twelve year old astronomy buffs perhaps, but they would get bored with it too. Two stars out of Ten for the computer animation.

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.

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.
