The Universe: 7 Wonders of the Solar System [Blu-ray]

I just bought a 3D TV and player and wanted to really test it out with this movie. If you love the History channel's shows on the Universe, you will be stunned at the beauty of this movie! The 3D is just spectacular!! I cannot say enough good things about the 3D. I showed it to my sister, who loves these kind of information shows also, and she was blown away by the experience. But I also love how History Channel put this together. I definitely learned things about our own solar system I did not know. And I watch these type of History, Discovery, Science channel shows ALL the time. I mean, ALL the time. The graphics really illustrate, in a very up close way, what the presenters are telling you in this movie. The scientists not only tell you about Encelidus (one of the Wonders), but you see what it looks like. The experience was more like being in a planetarium than watching a movie. When the sun is being explained, you literally feel as though you can just reach out and touch it. Really stunning. I won't give away what all the Wonders are, but you will love how the History channel brings them to you. This definitely raises the bar on what all the other channels, like the History Channel, show and how they show it.

The footage is wonderful in 3D. I've watched similar in normal 2D and it's spectacular, but 3D makes it even more spectacular.As for the 7 wonders that were picked. OK, interesting selections. I guess it's hard to pick just seven things when there's so many wonders to choose from. The video of the sun was really different with the surface churning and the whole thing just floating there because of the 3D effects.It was also neat that the scientists were more obviously standing in front of the background. This video comes from the history channel so it does cover some of the science and give's actual scientists a chance to talk about what we're seeing. Other than the 3D, it's almost like watching something on the history channel. I love the history channel. Hence I loved this video.Also, I got this disk for around $7. It's impossible to go wrong at that price.

This 3D Blu-Ray exceeded my expectations. I was expecting the same episode that originally aired on The History Channel, probably with some gimmicky 3D effects added in (yes, I bought it anyway, hoping that I was wrong). However, I was surprised to see (what I believe to be) some new, 3D interview footage and some new narration recorded specifically for this release. The 3D effects are very good. Seeing tiny Mercury eclipse the giant Sun in 3D is breathtaking as are some of the beautiful images of the rings of Saturn. Sure, most of it is CG, but that's fine because it looks really great. The only poor CG has to do with the spacecraft in which you are supposedly touring the solar system. Really, my only complaint is that there is some substantial crosstalk in many scenes, mostly when you see an object against the blackness of space. If that weren't true, I would have given this release 5 stars instead of 4.My 2-year-old son is showing a lot of interest in space/planets/astronomy, so I thought he might enjoy this. Indeed, he did. He sat riveted through the whole thing (which, if you knew my hyper son, is pretty amazing). "Is that Saturn?", "Look, the Sun! It's coming out of the TV!", "Wow, the Sun is very hot!", etc. One thing this video accomplished for my son is something I had been unable to articulate to a 2-year-old; that is the sheer size of the planets. The 3D really helps to illustrate this in a way that nothing else can. I think he now has a good sense of how enormous the sun is when compared to other planets.This video satisfied an itch that I hoped would have been scratched by many of the 3D Imax documentaries out there that disappointed me. It's a good, 3D documentary that can serve as a good demo of your new 3D TV, yet also be interesting and watchable in its own right. "7 Wonders of the Solar System" accomplishes this nicely. Sure, it has a few problems (crosstalk, poor CG graphics for the spacecraft, etc.), but overall I'm really happy with it. Videos are subjective though, so your mileage may vary.

It is what it is. You wouldn't be reading this review of you weren't into these types of shows. 3d quality is as good as expected. I actually got the wrong movie I meant to get and this isn't particularly my favorite one, but with that being said I still want to keep it and it's exactly as advertised. The negative feedback pertaining to 3D quality is nonsense. If it's as bad as they say, it's because they bought the cheapest 3d tv on the market and had nothing to do with the product itself.Just an fyi.. the episode I meant to order was wonders of the universe, not wonders of the solar system. All the same, it's exactly as described and, for the price, buy it just to have it if nothing else. You cannot beat the price and, though it wasn't what I meant to buy, I thoroughly enjoyed it regardless.

Trop court mais bon 3d

llego el producto a su tiempo, el pequeño detalle que viene en ingles, no incluye subtítulos en español, la narrativa no es mucho que esta en ingles pero se ven geniales los efectos en 3D

This is actually included in the 4 Disc set 'The Universe in 3D', for cheaper., but nevertheless it is amazing! - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CF1TYSG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4

３Dテレビを買って最初に思ったのは宇宙を立体的に見てみたいということそれがかなったビデオでした。それなりに満足できます。

Well done
