I love documentaries. They are a great way to learn because a picture is like a thousand words. Now with advancements in computer animation things can be presented that no one could possibly videotape. For astronomy, it's a great benefit as lots of things are just photos or theories. Lately, a few National Geographic/BBC type astronomy documentaries have come out that are full of visual effects. This one stands out as clearly overdone. It looks like a trailer of space photos and animations designed to dazzle more than teach. But the most annoying thing about this film is the narrator's voice. Sean Pertwee sounds like he's inserting "Oh, my God!" between every other word. I'm not saying he should sound like a robot, but he's clearly over-excited, anticipating where he should just be narrating in a normal tone. Come to think of it, practically all mystery/horror movie trailers use this tone of voice.

This movie is a complete waste of your time. I implore you not to watch this. This movie is causing headache by killing braincells. It looks like someone tried to play a sick joke on the viewer. It makes no sense, you constantly wonder what's going on, why are they showing me this or that. I quit watching this nonsense after about 10 minutes through an incomprehensible pile of moving images. God forbid you try to pay for this! This is a showcase of why we should not pay for a movie. But I don't see why anyone would buy a DVD of this to make a rip and trow it into P2P networks. It's not worth watching even if downloaded for free. Thankfully, I came across an online stream, but had to turn it off after 10 minutes for reasons described by all viewers who gave it a 1 star rating.
