Our Universe

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.

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.

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.

I mean that in a good way. The episodes keep you entertained while you lay in bed. It's a great, relaxing way to chill out. Morgan Freeman killed it. I wish they went in to more detail here and there but it was still pretty good.

I remember documentaries narrated by Sir David Attenborough and these are a great ode to them. I also reminds me of The Cosmos as well. The wildlife shots are really good and the space stuff is even better. They do a great job showing how chaotic the universe is and explaining how it helps life on earth. It also goes in to the history of the universe and I found it really fascinating.

I'm happy I watched it.

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 .
