I was underwhelmed. It looked pretty, but there was no science to speak of. I learned nothing except some insights in to Hawking's imagination, which was mildly interesting, but not enough to sustain my attention for very long.
I do admit, I only watched the first two episodes - life on other planets, and time travel. Sadly that was enough to convince me I was not going to get a lot out of the remaining episodes. Lots of big ideas are thrown about but are not explained in the least detail.
Perhaps I missed Mr Hawkings 'explaining some of the most complex theories' - I think 'glossed over' would be a more accurate description.- Was this review helpful to you?

(8)Great examples to help you imagine some hard to imagine concepts
By tiger_1310 (1 review) , 02 Nov 2011I really love these sort of documentaries because they send my mind into overdrive thinking about stuff.
What I particularly liked about this one is that it explains some very complex ideas and theories by using examples that we can all understand and can visually see. Really helped to get a better understanding of some theories I knew about but found hard to imagine.
Great to watch and I was left wishing there was more of it.- Was this review helpful to you?
