Notre univers

Amongst the monotony of the average day of a human being we often forget about what is REALLY going on in our world or how it formed. This documentary lays all that out in a format the average person can understand.

With the aid of Morgan Freeman's calming voice they show what goes on in a wild animals daily life then to a flash sideways to things in earth and space that directly explain how they are connected. The film crew really went out if their way and did a great job bringing this images to are tv. I recommend watching at night on a big screen. The picture is amazing. It is one of the best documentaries to date. Highly recommend.

I was enjoying it but then the Elemental episode started. The discussion on creation of different elements was seriously misrepresented implying that simple fusion created all the elements. The role of Supernovas in element creation was not even discussed when it plays a fundamental role in complex element creation. The fact that elements are being recycled into Supernova to create heavier atoms is crucial in understanding element creation. This is far too important a topic to be disregarded when exploring the topic of element creation.

I had to come back and correct the discussion of Mars. The geology of Mars resulted in a planet too low in mass to retain a molten core. When the molten core of Mars cooled it resulted in Mars losing its magnetic field which then meant there was no protection from solar winds and the solar winds then stripped Mars of its atmosphere and water. The show seemed to leave this as some mystery but it is not a mystery.

I am not sure why I need to include more characters in a succinct discussion of a critical topic can be described in fewer words.

As soon as I read that Morgan freeman was narrating it with his magical smooth story telling voice I was pulled in by gravity . This documentary series was the absolute best explanation to the mechanics of the universe and energy I have ever had the pleasure of watching it be explained in a visual easy to understand story telling manner . It really made you feel the journey and apart of something greater than but apart of everything around us , within us and what is too come . Netflix and the BBC made an absolute gold standard documentary here and it was a real treat to have Morgan freeman take me along for the ride .

Even though it is awesome to watch a documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman, I could not finish it due to pretentious and hollow script.

Was this a nature documentary? Was this a documentary about cosmology? Or better yet was this a documentary that ties those amazing topics together with a strong and clever writing? Those was my initial hopes about this but sadly the answer is that it is neither of those.

It was baffling to watch how narration switches back and forth between nature and cosmology without a solid reason or connection to it.

Frustrating to see that this is such a wasted potential. I think I will watch Cosmos again and again instead of wasting my time with this mess.

This documentary on our universe and the inexorable relationship the cosmos has on everything on Earth is brilliantly explained by the great Morgan Freeman. While learning how the universe was created, we see how the chemical composition of the cosmos affects every living thing on Earth, and how it all makes sense.

This brilliant scientific documentary should be compulsory for all our schools so that the new generations can learn about the universe and how it was created. Not by some imaginary sky daddy that blinked and created things like a genie, but via billions of years of chemical galactic molecules combining and reacting. A reaction that continues to happen now.
