Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Unknown: Cosmic Time Machine is a really entertaining and informative watch that ends too soon! Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider Unknown: Cosmic Time Machine is a pragmatic, functional primer on the significance of the James Webb Space Telescope... But be warned, it will likely leave you wanting more. Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut At 64 minutes long this interesting documentary is well worth investing in. It’s educational and informative and I learned a lot more than I thought I would in over an hour. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review John Sooja Common Sense Media While short, this documentary still thrills in its coverage of the lead-up to and subsequent launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Dani M Everything this kind of documentary should be. It is informative, showing the viewer what the telescope was intended to do and the difficulties it faced in its development and deployment, but most importantly, it created that sense of wonder that such programs should instill in all of us. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Surendhar P One of the few crisp and sharp docu in JWST!! Must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review kiely h Great documentary showcasing the hard work of hundreds on the Webb telescope. Great to see what goes into making such a contraption and the wonderful people and families behind the scenes. Educational and heartwarming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Ranting R Poor documentary, very little input from people who did most of the work. This is about the fresh young faces of nasa rather than the telescope development. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D Story of James Webb Space Telescope and its lunch. An amazing short documentary for those into space and its mysteries. What they accomplished is, amazing.
