Cosmic Voyage (IMAX)
Starring:Morgan Freeman
Director: Bayley Silleck
Studio: Imax
Product Type: DVD
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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. --Tom Keogh
Description
Cosmic Voyage mixes ground-breaking computer animation with cutting edge science to give us a sweeping view of the universe. A "cosmic zoom" extends from the surface of the Earth to the largest observable structures of the universe, and then back down to the sub-nuclear realm - a guided tour across some 42 orders of magnitude. Cosmic Voyage explores some of the greatest scientific theories, many of which have never before been visualized on film.

ABSOLUTELY F_A_N_T_A_S_T_I_C !!!!!!!.......2007-04-10
A must see film. The content is great, the images are great, Morgan Freeman's narration is great!!!! It's one great experience!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY recommend it to EVERYBODY, and especially to those that are curious about our universe, from the tiny particle to the great galaxy, and the progress of our means to understand it, science.
Beautifull cosmic voyage.......2007-03-16
It's a amazing and Beautifull mode for a scientific presentation. Specially recommended to children and kids, and adults too.
Is a poetic history, from Big structures of the Universe until most little atomic structures. Easy to understand and context form.
Fernando Franco Blu.
Rancagua, CHILE.
Not too detailed but accomplishes (fantastically) it primary goal..........2006-07-12
and that is to whet the viewer's interest reminiscent of more detailed mini-series like Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" and Neil deGrasse Tyson's "Origins." The series is concise and, very early, provides an excellent point of reference (literally) for those without any background regarding the universal and atomic scale.
Morgan Freeman comes through, as always, with his narration in a manner that provides an even and well paced presentation of the macro- and microscopic world. And while he doesn't have the trance-inducing voice of James Earl Jones, he skillfully manages to hold your attention even between the segments of the program that are nothing but spellbinding, which brings me to another point.
The images and computer generated sequences are done very well with especial care taken to faithfully represent the true scale and detail of the cosmos. The music fits well and affords a nice emotional complement to the eye candy. I'm sure many will agree with me that the best part of the entire program is the ultra quick zoom-in from the superclusters (largest scale of video) to the quarks comprising the neutrons and protons of the atom (smallest scale). My only complaint concerning the zoom-in (and the whole video for that matter) is that the camera seems to "back up" during the zooming. This takes place (33min.5sec. into program) when the camera comes upon a tree, into its leaves, into a leaf's veins, AND SUDDENLY!!, you're coming upon a creek with reeds, into the reeds, into a drop of water on the reed etc... An obvious editing mistake.
The mistake notwithstanding, this is an excellent video that quickly, though not rushing-ly, engages its audience---not with the intention to explicity educate on all the details so much as to introduce the viewer (in a very effective way!!) to what big and small really are.
No pretenses. It is what it says it is. A Cosmic Voyage.
This movie didn't quite make it, I'd recommand something else..........2006-01-22
This movie does give viewers a general idea of the universe, in a very conservative sense. It only contains material and topics based on traditional big bang theory. Personally, I disagree with alot of ideas presented in the movie. I think since this movie is relatively new (2002) and not created back in the 70's or 80's, it should atleast contain new discoverys and new theories such as Super String Theory. Therefore, I do not recommand this movie if you are seeking to learn new knowledge, as far as I can tell, the movie is based on stuff we knew back in the 80's. However, I would definitely recommand the following: (1)The Elegant Universe (by NOVA,PBS) and (2)Origins (by NOVA,PBS) Both are very very good!!
Bastante didáctico para comprender el tamaño del Universo.......2005-08-18
Utilizo este video para que mis alumnos comprendan las dimensiones del Universo y he tenido muy buenos resutados. No se requieren conocimientos amplios de astronomía pues las explicaciones son bastante claras y con muy buen estilo.
