DVD Reviews of Cosmos: Carl Sagan (7 DVD Set)

DVD Review: Cosmos 7 DVD set is great, either new or used (from AMAZON)!
Summary: 5 Stars

It's nice to find great deals like Carl Sagan's entire series in the boxed set, even though they digitally enhanced a couple of minor things from the original, it's still very much all in order and educationally entertaining!

DVD Review: Excellent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

The technical quality is rather lacking, though it has the Sagan touch which makes this program a rose. We've seen this a dozen times and even my kids like it. Probably in another 20 years this program will still get rated. My kids and i highly recommend this!

DVD Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars

What can I say. Carl just has a way still of connecting with people. I admired him as a kid and still do. Loved this DVD production!!!

Cosmos: Carl Sagan (7 DVD Set)

This is a beautiful DVD set. It is informative and educational for all ages. While time has shown that his predictions were accurate; he still added updates at the end of some of the episodes. I recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about science, astrology or the environment.

DVD Review: A Friend
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember this series when I was growing up but wasn't able to watch many of the episodes as I had school, work, and other activities. Since I received the DVD set, I have been watching it every night. Carl Sagan has the best narrative I've heard ever, warm and friendly, easy to understand. I find it relaxing and calming after a day at work and coming home with a busy mind. The series was updated in 2000, so it's not really dated. I am extremely happy I bought it, even though it sounds expensive, I am sure I will continue to watch it for years to come. Even if I find I have grown tired of it, I believe it's worth in donating to a local library or school, especially in these times.

When Cosmos was first broadcast in 1980, our world--and the context of Carl Sagan's eloquent "personal journey"--was a different place. The late Dr. Sagan would be pleased to witness the cooling of the cold war, the continued exploration of space, and ongoing efforts to curb our destructive dependence on fossil fuels. For Sagan's series is far more than a guided tour through "billions and billions" of stars and galaxies. It remains a profound plea for the unity of humankind, for the recognition that "we are a way for the universe to know itself," with an obligation to know our origin, our place in the universe, and our future potential.

In the course of 13 fascinating hours, Cosmos spans its own galaxy of topics to serve Sagan's theme, each segment deepening our understanding of how we got from there (simple microbes in the primordial mud) to here (space-faring civilization in the 21st century). In his "ship of the imagination," Sagan guides us to the farthest reaches of space and takes us back into the history of scientific inquiry, from the ancient library of Alexandria to the NASA probes of our neighboring planets. Upon this vast canvas Sagan presents the "cosmic calendar," placing the 15-billion-year history of the universe into an accessible one-year framework, then filling it with a stunning chronology of events, both interstellar and earthbound.

From the lives of the stars, to creation theories, functions of the human brain, and the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Cosmos asks big questions. When appropriate, Sagan offers big answers, or asks still bigger--and yes, even spiritual--questions at the boundaries of science and religion. What's most remarkable about Cosmos is that it remains almost entirely fresh, with few updates needed to the science that Sagan so passionately celebrates. It is no exaggeration to say that Cosmos--for all the debate it may continue to provoke--is a vital document for humanity at a pivotal crossroads of our history. --Jeff Shannon
