Uma Viagem ao Infinito

I have no idea why some people would give this a high score. This is not a documentary. This is some nice visuals with lose incoherent points that are never made. If you give it a low score, you must not understand it right, cause your brain is to small? It has a few good points, but most of it is just empty space and very little science. Hire a few smart people, make them say some stuff, add visuals, done. Netflix almost always makes horrible documentaries. Just buy this sort of content from other creators instead. For the amount of actual information that is given to the viewer this could have been much shorter.

The never-ending curiosity to know the unknown is something that scientists devote their life. And infinity is one of the biggest of them.

When we talk about the existence of God and the end of infinity, it seems like we don't know; or maybe we have an infinite answer to it, yet we can't be so sure. It made me feel that every second of our life is crucial in the realm of infinity, where my existence is so tiny.

Apart from my philosophical understanding, the documentary was very thoughtful and insightful. It explains infinity from different perspectives. It felt like my brain was enjoying a good meal. The psychedelic animations and VFX were undoubtedly creative, aesthetic, and eye-soothing. Loved it!

Most reviews r from people who didnt ever start to understand what was that docu adout.its not all science or all philosophy.we need to see the bigger picture and think outside the box,dont dismiss what is hard to understand.these people tried to give incredibley complicated stuff to almost everyone... scientists and philosophers are trying to meet..and it s a good try.ever if someone didnt understand anything,its still a fun 70 minutes!!!but...i m sure,that everyone who really watch this docu ,will in some point learn something.that is for sure.thanx to all who participated and tried to explain and share with us all that knowledge.

This casual docu covers introductory info on physics, math, cosmology and related stuff. However, the style of delivery is heavily kids-oriented. The art side of this docu is amazing, and there is tons of creativity gone into making every concept interesting and easy to consume by someone who e.g. Doesn't have a higher education and has grown up on bite sized TikTok videos.

About their final thoughts that life and even humanity or life as a whole are just quick blips that won't leave a trace - we actually don't know that yet! Only in 1998 did they notice that galaxies are flying off at accelerating speeds. What else will physicists discover later on? So, it's just silly to make big judgements if your life has meaning or not on some contemporary state of knowledge that's being changed and improved once every few decades.

I'd stay positive. I'm certainly not religious, in fact I'm a militant atheist. Yet I believe that, as long as our knowledge is still vastly incomplete, we shouldn't fall into the "curse of the Western atheist" of the 19th and then the 20th centuries - the meaninglessness and the existentialism. Just accept that we don't yet know the meaning of our lives. Some time in the distant future we (or our descendants) might. Our purpose is simply to carry the torch until then.

As seems to be the norm for Netflix type so-called 'documentaries', visual presentation trumps content depth, breadth and clarity.

Too much on-and-on ramblings on common and minor aspects, and some screen time are just downright irrelevant and totally time wasting - like literally waiting for the train to pass as the interviewee just sat there.

Pertinent and more complex concepts on the other hand are quickly glossed over or just left hanging.

The whole attempt seems to hinge on decorating narratives around the visuals rather than the other way round. Visual quotas seem to be the priority regardless of relevance.

Overall - weak. Only for the very casual viewer of this otherwise highly interesting topic.

For viewers who are already familiar with the rudimentaries of 'infinity' from much better documentaries, give this a miss. Not worth your finite conscious time.
