Review: The Universe is one of the best documentary series that we've seen in a long while. We've been covering it as the individual seasons are released and now this educational space-epic is being released in a huge ultimate megaset on blu-ray. This Megaset includes seasons 1-5 on blu-ray, plus the 7 Wonders of the Solar System special.
Not only does dad enjoy this one, my wife and kids all love it, as well. They're just learning about space in the classroom and they can come home to really SEE space in all its glory. This elusive aspect of nature wasn't available for viewing like this when I was growing up...its a real treat. This is without a doubt one of the best series on space ever created. This set is a MUST HAVE!
The special features include: 7 Wonders of the Solar System episode in 3D; Feature-length documentary: Beyond the Big Bang; Featurettes Meteors: Fire in the Sky , Comets: Prophets of Doom , Ask the Universe , Backyard Astronomers
Interest Range: Documentary, The History Channel
