Synopsis: Did you know that 1% of the white noise you see on your television is actually background radiation from the Big Bang? From the formation of the earth and the emergence of life, to the advance of man and the growth of civilization, the CGI-driven special HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWO HOURS offers viewers a rapid-fire view of 14 billion years of history - an epic story that reveals surprising connections to our daily lives, for the first time in majestic 3D!

Review: The History Channel is renound for their quality documentary and educational programming. The History of the World in Two Hours is quite an undertaking! And its just like it sounds..they literally slam through millions of years of history in a few hours, lightly touching on most subjects and breezing by others. If you're looking for something in-depth, this one isn't for you, however, if you're looking for something well produced, fun and informative..check this one out! Its a blast.  This new release puts this great special onto a high-definition, 3D format!  This one is idea for those that have access to the technology.  The 3D is absolutely fantastic.  The select CGI effects come right out at you and really enchance the whole experience.  This makes the special even better for kids!
