Audience Member Our home. Don't mess with it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not only informative but beautifully done. Great companion series along with planet earth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member well shot but it tends to go off on some tangents Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review gareth d Old and dated but still visually spectacular! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Huge let-down. All the footage is out of date and generally irrelevant in terms of today's technology and advances in space exploration. I wish i would have looked on the back of the case and seen it was made in the 80's before i made an impulse buy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Too short. Geared toward children. It did not keep my attention. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
