Description:
Cosmic Voyage mixes ground-breaking computer animation with cutting edge science to give us a sweeping view of the universe. A 'cosmic zoom' extends from the surface of the Earth to the largest observable structures of the universe, and then back down to the sub-nuclear realm - a guided tour across some 42 orders of magnitude. Cosmic Voyage explores some of the greatest scientific theories, many of which have never before been visualized on film.

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

Rating:  - Don't buy this version
I saw Cosmic Voyage on cable and it was awesome in high def. I received my ordered copy and the IMAX version was not in high def, in fact the quality of the DVD was so poor that I thought maybe this was a counterfitted copy. I did not enjoy it at all and this worthless DVD went to the trash. I think that it was unfair not to disclose the fact that the DVD was not in high def.
Rating:  - A Beautiful Updated Version of the Powers of 10
If you ever saw the vintage video on the power of ten you will really like this updated version. With updated special effects and great photography this is definitely a voyage. Morgan Freeman as narrator is excellent and provides a lot of awe as you journey from one power of ten to another.
Rating: - Cosmic voyage
Many years ago I watched a very similar film during an IBM event. During this time I always wanted to have a copy of it. Recently I looked for such a film in Amazon and... I found this one, which is better than the initial!
It is really a super excellent video.
Rating: - Stunning!!!
I was so surprised at this DVD. Everything about it is topnotch and my jaw dropped several times. My only gripes are that there are no chapter breaks and little in the way extras.
Rating: - An Amazing Journey through space and time.
A journey of scale that challenges even the grandest imaginations. From the immensity of the galaxy superclusters and the universe itself, to the tinniest quarks, Cosmic Voyage takes you there and back again.
