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.

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

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.

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.

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
