 Shockingly poor and trite May 26, 2008
The meaningful content of this 2 DVD set could have condensed into one 20min segment. The repetition in this set is astonishing. Take away the mind-numbing repeated intros, adverts for VW, Microsoft etc and constant revisions of what was said just minutes ago and you are left with a vacuous, boring and childish presentation of one of the most interesting aspects of science and life.br /Given the other reviews I was actually shocked at how poor this is.br /
 Fantastic December 11, 2007
This is one of the best DVDs I have ever purchased. Even my mother who never ever studied physics could understand something as complicated as String theory and Brian Greene did a fantastic job and trust me this is the least I can say.
A very good documentary! January 10, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
A great production of NOVA based on the best-seller book of Brian Greene. This is a very ingenious documentary of physics with an excellent animation made of great special effects that helps you to visualize the physical ideas, like for example, the fabric of space-time. With the help of great interviews with many important physicists like Steven Weinberg, John Schwarz, Michael Green, Ed Witten, Jim Gates,..., Brian Greene explains to the public the basic ideas of general relativity and quantum mechanics, then the conflict between them and finally the string theory itself, the promising ultimate theory of Cosmos. The part I of this three-part show is in my opinion the best one because it presents a very good historical introduction of the development of physics and explains the main ideas of newtonian gravitation, general relativity, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics in a very simple way. As a physicist I obviously didn't learn nothing new but I enjoy very much to watch this three-part show and I recommend it to everyone.

Concepts for the conceptualess November 4, 2004
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Depending where you are coming from and where you are going to, there is something for everyone. There are people that keep up with the latest information on the universe; for those people this is a great program to show where the public is. It also is nice to have what you already know restated so you can look at it from a different angle. For people that slept through school or attended in the Stone Age this is may be a shocker for the last time you looked. Then there are people that see this as a wakeup call for the first time.brThe program is designed to give you basic information about the latest theories on how the universe works and goes beyond Einstein to attempt to tie all the theories up into a single elegant bundle (Superstrings.)brThe visuals help and having a different media allows one to retain information better. However the format leaves something to be desired. The redundancy goes beyond reinforcing to boredom. The sound byte format of leaping from one person to another, when it is just as possible to stay with one person for a completed thought, is like watching a used car commercial. Any one concept could be a whole program in it's self (and probably is.) They show a formula and say "here it is"; then two seconds later it is gone and they are off on another subject. brIn any event you will not look at the universe in the same old way.
