CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

wittmann_todd I love Professor Tyson and have followed his work in all forums. He did a wonderful presentation in this series. His voice is easy to listen to and his mannerisms are animated enough for me to keep interest. But what is up with all the cartooning by Seth MacFarlane? I admire and respect Seth, but his contribution to this series severely distracted me and I thought it cheap and cheesy. I know a lot of people do not like generic dramatizations with actors, but at least they try to present a realistic picture of what the narration refers to and it is quite entertaining. If more series are going to use cartoon characters I simply refuse to watch them (PBS "The Greeks" did the same style of animation). The real actors I can relate to more than a cartoon character. And it shows integrity on taking history or physics in this case seriously. It was like watching "Family Guy" in a physics class....ridiculous...so much so that I could not stomach it after three episodes. I went back to the original Cosmos...which interestingly with a very few amendments still holds today.

benjaminburt If you're looking for a documentary on science and space, Cosmos is definitely the top of its class. Even among documentaries in general, it is sophisticated, intelligent, doesn't talk down to its audience, and is well-done. The only gripes I could have for it is that its animations often look cheap, and it's sometimes a little cheesy. That's it. However, if you're a climate-change-denier, flat-earther, or hyper- religious, this documentary will challenge you. Neil deGrasse Tyson is unapologetic when it comes to his convictions. Despite this, I think the series still stands on its own, and the bias is rather easily overlooked; and, even if you don't agree, you can't deny the grandeur and power of the words of the good doctor.

ehsubscriptions I was hoping for something like the old Cosmos or something a bit like Wormhole. I wanted something that talked about the science and physics of the universe. What I got was a bunch of berating and lecturing about perceived social issues. The writers, producers and Tyson should be ashamed. They try to use their unique brand quasi- science as a social and political bludgeon. Sad. This program rates right up there with "Ancient Aliens" with regards to its intellectual honesty.

Benjamin Weaver Tyson sounds like he's addressing an audience of third graders. The cartoon segments are not only as dumbed-down as Tyson's monologues, but additionally, they look like they were done on MS Paint. Maybe it's because the over-the-top CGI segments ate up most of their budget. I was in third grade when the original Cosmos came out. Carl Sagan didn't talk down to us and I had no trouble following it. Indeed, that series did more than anything to fuel my love of science. The new series utterly lacks both the passion of the original and the sense of urgency.I had all of the original Cosmos episodes on a hard drive that has since failed. I think I'm going to have to reacquire it somehow.
