As a primer on up-to-date scientific theory about the nature of the universe and our place in it,
Cosmic Voyage is visually sumptuous and just plain fun. Shot in the mind-blowing IMAX process, this combined live-action and computer-generated production has (even in video format) an immensity of scope befitting its grand subject. Beginning, lyrically if unexpectedly, in Italy's magnificent Venice,
Cosmic Voyage draws inspiration from airborne perspectives on the city's famed network of canals and streets, leading to further appreciations of dense systems in nature. From the subnuclear to the physical limits of the known universe,
Cosmic Voyage explores a resonance between all things while making sense of such inscrutable phenomena as the birth of stars and planets, black holes, supernovas, etc. The marvels of cosmology are rarely so accessible as this.

| A great experience for all ages. Beautifully done. Essential for the young and old alike. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this is orders of magnitude more. |
| very disappointing - very little actual facts of the universe & planets | 2008-12-26 | 2 / 5 |

I bought this for a gift for my husband, who loves reading about the universe in all its glory and mystery - the planets, the stars, black holes, galaxies, etc. However, this short IMAX film has very little to do with the universe! The title is totally misleading. It ought to have been titled "speculation on the origin of man and the universe" for the vast majority of the time all we heard was "somehow life developed....blah, blah, blah". We didn't want to hear about the big bang theory. I had hoped the film would deal with facts, not speculation. I was very disappointed, and so was my husband.
Also, I've seen many IMAX films and this one didn't have the "wow" factor that other IMAX films have had.
I gave it 2 stars (instead of 1) because it had good music and Morgan Freeman did a fine job of narrating.
If you want a film about the universe that deals with facts, and shows actual photos, then I would NOT recommend this film. It proved to be a big disappointment, and I'm glad I didn't pay a lot of money for it (or I'd be even more disappointed).

| I saw Cosmic Voyage on cable and it was awesome in high def. I received my ordered copy and the IMAX version was not in high def, in fact the quality of the DVD was so poor that I thought maybe this was a counterfitted copy. I did not enjoy it at all and this worthless DVD went to the trash. I think that it was unfair not to disclose the fact that the DVD was not in high def. |
| A Beautiful Updated Version of the Powers of 10 | 2008-04-11 | 5 / 5 |

| If you ever saw the vintage video on the power of ten you will really like this updated version. With updated special effects and great photography this is definitely a voyage. Morgan Freeman as narrator is excellent and provides a lot of awe as you journey from one power of ten to another. |

Many years ago I watched a very similar film during an IBM event. During this time I always wanted to have a copy of it. Recently I looked for such a film in and... I found this one, which is better than the initial!
It is really a super excellent video. |
