Movie Reviews of The Universe: The Complete Season 1 [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Interesting Series Leaps better than the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this on DVD last year, and was soo upset because the video was 4:3 letterboxed, I'm so glad the person in charge of the blu-ray didn't make the same stupid mistake (however, they did make a different one, 1080i!!!!! come on! why can't someone release this wonderful CGI filled series the way it should be seen!)

If your interested in learning more about the universe, this is a pretty good choice, especially considering the price. As far as content goes, Cosmos, this is not. But thats ok. This is a ongoing series, it cannot pack tons of information in such a short amount of time. This is an ongoing show, and as the seasons progress, more and more content will be covered. I like the format, and find it refreshing, the only hard part is not watching the whole disc each time I put one in.

What's cool though is, watching this blu-ray makes me more interested in studying some of the drier material out there, and usually encourages an amazon book purchase from me.

I'm glad the series is finally on blu-ray, and I'm even more glad that it is in real widescreen format, instead of 4:3 letter boxed like the last dvd. I eagerly await season 2 on blu-ray, and wish History Channel the best of luck with making this series.

I truly hope that the next box set has some extras. I know, its a documentary, which is basically a whole bunch of extras, but still, maybe some CGI making of, interviews with experts, something, I'm just saying. I still like it, and I really appreciate the low price. Thanks for giving this wonderful series the chance to shine on blu-ray.
