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

Cosmic Voyage IMAX January 25, 2010
Michael Grogan (Pontiac, MI USA)
The classic educational film "Powers of Ten" that originated in the astronomy department at Princeton University in the 1960s and which I originally saw in a college English class in the early 1970s, had such a profound impact that it has been remade and updated a number of times since then. This latest incarnation adds more background about how the mysteries of the universe and our knowledge of all the vastness of creation got discovered, plus updated with 21st century knowledge. It is an absolutely fascinating exploration of the wonders of the universe both from a macro (galactic) point of view and a micro (cellular) point of view and, given that it's a short film, should be viewed by everyone at least once.

COSMIC VOYAGE IMAX: In order to make this film a complete 3D computer math model of the entire visible universe was created by special effects people! A must see and own for space science film collectors.
great view of everything March 16, 2009
Robert N. Torgerson (Utah)
Great DVD to show how we fit into the whole picture. A journey from the very smallest to the very largest. Great pictures. Zooms a little fast when you would rather stop and take in all the details.

If you like to stretch your mind, go to the boundaries of the infinite, and the great, and see there are still no boundaries, this is the one. Clear, well explained, outstanding illustrations. If you've never watched a movie like this before, this is one you really should try. I've watched it 3 times in six months I have had it, so it's gotta be good.

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.
