Notre univers

This documentary on our universe and the inexorable relationship the cosmos has on everything on Earth is brilliantly explained by the great Morgan Freeman. While learning how the universe was created, we see how the chemical composition of the cosmos affects every living thing on Earth, and how it all makes sense.

This brilliant scientific documentary should be compulsory for all our schools so that the new generations can learn about the universe and how it was created. Not by some imaginary sky daddy that blinked and created things like a genie, but via billions of years of chemical galactic molecules combining and reacting. A reaction that continues to happen now.

Whoever did the sound mixing didn't do it justice. Morgan's narrative was too far back in the mix, I was struggling to hear him over the SFX and music. It turned into a difficult watch because of that.

Aside from that, the footage and graphics are beautiful to watch. I enjoyed the link of everything happening in the universe has an effect on life in every way.

It was really great to get you think about the bigger picture to life in earth. I hope to see more of these types of documentaries on Netflix, so refreshing after all the true crime ones that seem to be of endless supply in their library.

Morgan Freeman narrates this incredibly beautiful story about our past, present and future. Life on earth and its connection with the cosmos and cosmological events.

It's truly one of the most beautiful shows I've seen in a while. However, the show falls a bit short when it comes to the narration. Not the voice of Freeman, but the content itself. The over usage of dramatic pauses disrupts the flow and keeps us guessing of what he'll say next. It's especially frustrating when the answer is obvious. Which it often is. Making me think they assume their audience is either stupid or very young.

But it's definitely worth a watch just for the CGI and shots of nature. So allow me end this review with an "Our Universe narration" flavored ending:

As I wrap up this review.. I do so.. with a typographical symbol that states that the sentence.. is finished........... a period.

I mean that in a good way. The episodes keep you entertained while you lay in bed. It's a great, relaxing way to chill out. Morgan Freeman killed it. I wish they went in to more detail here and there but it was still pretty good.

I remember documentaries narrated by Sir David Attenborough and these are a great ode to them. I also reminds me of The Cosmos as well. The wildlife shots are really good and the space stuff is even better. They do a great job showing how chaotic the universe is and explaining how it helps life on earth. It also goes in to the history of the universe and I found it really fascinating.

I'm happy I watched it.

As soon as I read that Morgan freeman was narrating it with his magical smooth story telling voice I was pulled in by gravity . This documentary series was the absolute best explanation to the mechanics of the universe and energy I have ever had the pleasure of watching it be explained in a visual easy to understand story telling manner . It really made you feel the journey and apart of something greater than but apart of everything around us , within us and what is too come . Netflix and the BBC made an absolute gold standard documentary here and it was a real treat to have Morgan freeman take me along for the ride .
