Too many fans seem to be blown away

Dreadfully Boring

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

This 5-part BBC series examines the universe and humanity's place in it. The presenter Brian Cox seems like an amiable chap. He's energetic and personable in his explanations of dense material. It's a little uneven. The subject matter is so vast and the limits are so permeable that it's hard to define the premise. The episode titles do define the issues but the premise is so nebulous that one could go on forever on this subject. Brian is a professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy in the University of Manchester. He tends to skew towards the science of it all but he has a good amount of humanity. I like the third episode best mainly because he discusses the Drake equation with Drake. They're all fairly good with interesting takes. It's filmed well and it maintained my interest.

In the sea of sensationalized and overly-dramatized "documentaries", here's finally a good change of pace. Brian delivers a proper thought provoking 5 episodes documentary. Very good and easy to follow for the casual document consumers and just as good for the more knowledge-hungry people.

A must watch. The very truth of our existence. It answers questions man has asked since our intellectual fruition from the animals. So have other documentaries/books but it is presented so elegantly and concise and truthfully. At a good level for the majority.Now a word to the majority. Yes the people on the planet who believe in the grown up santa's of whatever creed/colour - however generally the same colour as them. To not watch and understand this is a crime to your intellect and your obligation to cherish your once in a lifetime opportunity to basque in the sun of consciousness and self awareness fully aware of the where, how and what we are. To not wonder why's stars twinkle. Not thinking in a possibly infinite Universe some illiterate iron age prophet 2000 years ago was spoken to by god in a cave in a universe 13.7 billion years old. Doesn't really compute. There were no good old days. Stop wasting your life.Don't live your life in ignorance denying science - to deny facts but not even have the decency to attempt prove/justify what you profess to know and how facts you are unable to grasp or are too lazy to even attempt to grasp are false. Let's move from the dark ages to a bright future free of religious hatred, superstition and down right stupidity and ignorance by the vast majority of the earth's worshippers.Long live science, reason, logic, compassion, intelligence, and human understanding. This documentary is a testament to science and of human achievement. Well done to Brian - I'm sure this series will free large numbers of blinkered worshippers. They are not the ones we have to worry about though because they must ultimately be reasonable.What could be better than being the only known intelligent life with a mission to explore this universe which you should be in awe of. Not worrying about some fables in a book, praying for heaven and virgins. Jesus!Denying moon landings and other such nonsense.Anyway whatever your fancy. Watch this amazing documentary. Saint, sinner or prophet. This documentary delivers.Mike.............x

Just Watched Episode 1 and 2 and it made me cry.As I love scientific Documentary explaining some of the Deepest and most impossible Questions to answer for example: "Why we are Here?", "Where do we Come from?", "What is the purpose of Life?".In search for answers of "Why we are Here?", Brain said something that even Stephen Hawking(don't get me wrong, i like Hawking) didn't dare to say in his documentary called "Grand Design". Instead of giving False hope, Brian sticked to the Logic and Science.The previous series by BBC and Brian Cox named "Wonders of life" was rocking and Breathtaking. They did it again in this series. Now Science is trying to find answers for some of the most oldest and seems impossible questions. General curious people like me sometime wonder to know if we ever able to find the answers to these questions. And nicely made documentary films like this one is enjoyable to watch.Like it, Love it.
