Einstein and Hawking: Unlocking the Universe

Comparing any physicist to Einstein in term of impact on the current world and its interpretation. The documentary does speak on both Einstein and Hawking and that titles searches for buzz and attract people to a documentary on science. However, if we have a few parts explaining indeed the impact the relativity can have about explaining the world, it is largely focused on black hole (I can understand this is to link Einstein and Hawking but this is too much reducting).

I was globally disappointed, this is not the type of documentary science deserves and the few people that may be attracted to it thanks to the flashy title won't be convinced to try another (at least, that's my guess).

It's all been said before - often wrapped in a far superior package. If you're not into the world of theoretical physics, chances are you will pick up nothing and suffer a severe bout of boredom. If you are - there is nothing to pick up, but the boredom is a guarantee.

Arguably one of the most nonsensical presentations of two of greatest minds to date. Theoretical physics is gripping stuff - one can but hope that this "introduction" doesn't scare off any emerging interest.

Overall it was a good reminder of how Einstein changed our lives, and how are we limited only by our thoughts. I wish in the future we will talk in the same way about Hawking, one day someone will take Hawkings work and put it into practice like predecessors done with E=mc2
