Should have been called "The Universe for Dummies" |
There are some interesting presentations in this series, and some stunning visuals. That's the only upside. The downside is, it was written assuming the audience are idiots - it's so 'dumbed down' that it's of very little information value - and there are plenty of factual inaccuracies that had me shouting at the screen.
If you already have even a basic understanding of the universe, watch this ONLY for the visuals, because you certainly won't learn anything from this series. |

The best DVD series about SPACE so far |
The information is up-to-date and interesting. The computer graphics are amazing. They makes me understanding the subject easier than reading the book. One computer graphic is indeed worth a thousand words and 2d pictures! I gave it only 4 stars because of the 2 reasons listed below.
1. No English subtitles/caption except on disk 1. This is bad because there are many scientific terms that I don't know. I can't search for them on the Internet because I can't spell them.
2. At least there is one location where the information is complete. I'm going to get more details about this and update it later. |

Great, except it's letterboxed. |
|
Fantastic series, but if you have an HDTV, like many of us do now, your in for a disappointment. This set is presented in a letterboxed format which means on an HDTV, there are going to be thick black bars framing the image, not just that the top and bottom of the screen, but all the way around. I don't know what the distributer is thinking, this should have been presented in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. I hope they correct this on season two. |

Amazing! |
|
Anyone who is interested in the universe, space or astrology should definately buy this. Who would of thought that we are so small in this gigantic space we call the universe! |

Wanted to Know Before Purchasing Product: On the Americancivilwar Web site it says that the audio is English and Spanish. I have received the video and there is no Spanish Audio. Otherwise the series is spectacular. |
