I finally had a chance to watch the entire Journey Through Space, and it's a great piece of ambient art. One of the other reviews mentions that this is a slow disc. Yes, this disc has parts that will make 2001 look like an action-packed movie. It's not a movie to be watched. If you are trying to find a plot -- good luck to you! It's an ambient piece.

This disc is part of a series of "set and forget" discs that create a mood, and that will loop in your home, office or wherever you'd like. If it was faster, it wouldn't be very ambient or moody.

Of special note is the soundtrack which sounds GREAT. No cheesy new age or elevator music on this disc. I'm looking forward to more in this genre from Bluscenes and others.

This Blu-Ray is utterly amazing!!! I've never been interested in learning about the final frontier, until now, after watching this movie all the way through. It's a lot to take in, especially if you've never really been interested in space before, but the camera moves at just the right pace so you can process what you are seeing. The music fits the movie perfectly and enhances the subject matter even more along with the 1080p photography. All I can say is WOW! When William Shatner and Spock get beamed up by Priceline and try to persuade others to enjoy their own trip into the final frontier, I will gladly decline from the adventure as this movie experience is going to be so hard to top! This Blu-Ray is worth every cent, and here's to NASA - Explore On!

Let's give credit where credit is due. This disc would not be possible without the men and women of NASA. This disc is put together well, but most of the credit belongs to the scientists who worked on the magic that made it possible. We, and presumably Blu Scenes, benefit from this endeavor.

This is one of the discs that came as part of a special bundle that I purchased a few weeks ago from a different site. I wasn't even buying the set for this disc, but I really enjoy it. It's like a screensaver, so just be aware of that, and it contains some very recent images. Of course it will become more outdated over time, but right now it's a nice way to relax and look at space. Special note goes to the soundtrack which I found to be just enough but not overwhelming.

In this hour long Blu-Ray, I saw maybe 2 min of actual journeying through space. It took half an hour just to get out of the solar system and all we saw were quick edits from one planet to the next. I was surprised to see a reviewer say this was *all* CGI. It's possible the Earth was an animation, it was realistic enough to make be believe it was shot out of the shuttle. After that I'm pretty sure we were seeing NASA photographs.

I'd give the music a five out of ten. I like ambient but this soundtrack, mostly electronic with some choral and lots of echo, didn't inspire the feeling of being in space. I suppose the constant music was jarring against the emptiness of space.

The first 10 min are focused just on the Earth revolving with day and night shots, the next 10 on the moon, the next 10 are the planets and the remaining half hour are super slow pans across NASA photographs, for example the Cat's Eye Nebula or the Magellanic Cloud. It wasn't much of a "Journey through Space", it was more like "Nasa Photographs - the Blu-Ray".

If I would have known that this was not real NASA HD photography and fake CGI, I would not have bought this Blue Ray. It's not even good CGI, as it is extremely grainy on a 1080p HD TV. It looks even worse than 480i on a conventional TV. This video is just a screensaver basically, and not a good, clear one at that. I would not reccommend it unless you like to waste your money on really BAD CG!

It is a good presentation and music to just see and let it run. It is not something you want to sit and watch like a movie. It has some real images of the planets and solar systems but most looks like computer generated. Highly recommend this to the casual looker.

Challenge our perspective by giving us a new angle of the universe. "Journey Through space" not only shows the awesome picture, but it also gives a great music that help you to relax for the moment.

S L O W moving space pictures. Unless you're a space nut save your money. Ted Cool
