The Universe in 3D: A Whole New Dimension [3D] [Blu-ray] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D]

This film does little to excite. Blu ray is filled with tons of probability but lacks any actual content that isn't computer generated. Film sets of plenty scenarios, but delivers very few facts and real imaging. I wasn't pleased with animation. If you are expecting NASA, Hubble, or telescopic images don't get this one. The film's 7 wonders may leave you wondering why did you buy this one. Not bad for entertainment but does very little for education. Many hypothesis formulated and computer generated outcomes based on current knowledge.

When I ordered this, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had not seen the series on TV so it was all new to me. The documentary episodes are all very well produced and certainly worth watching if your interested in space and space exploration. The "feature" of this DVD of course is that it is in 3D. It brings many of the scenes to life. The only downside is, and admittedly this is *very* minimal, these episodes contain a lot of on-camera interviews with scientists and other subject experts. In some of those cases, the use of 3D simply seems out-of-place. However, as I said, that's a very minor complaint. Overall, it's well worth the watch!

I won't waste people's time talking about the actual content of "The Universe". This has been one of my favorite science series for the last several years but if your bored by the content, you won't be thrilled enough by the 3-d version to make you fall in love with it. The price is right however, at $9.99 to give it a try if your so inclined. It's not up to the demonstration quality of your favorite 3-d action movie but the CGI outer space animation is very effective and graphically pleasing to the eye. Even the scenes with the individual physicists talking to the camera are enhanced by the added depth and 3-dimensional perspective. Recommended especially to people who are already fans of the series or science series in general.

This is a great documentary regardless of how many dimensions you view it in :) . In 3D BluRay, however, it brought a big grin to my face. The added depth is magical. I took away one star because I would like more of the 3D effects to come out of the screen rather than recede into it. I realize this is a matter of personal preference.

Not bad. The 3D is good and other are multiple episodes on this. Good value.

A very good movie documental I really recommend. It's awesome

A neat Blu-Ray for anyone interested in Astromony/The Universe. The 3D was a cool effect but I did not find it added as much to the experience as other "regular" movies (ex: Avatar, Gravity, Life of Pi). Still a neat educational movie that is fun to watch.

My grandchildren loves watching this documentary in 3D about our universe, which I don't blame them. The 3D effects are well done and on the plus side they are learning about our universe.
