While the science in this review is mostly accurate, it has a silly focus. It tries to grab the audience with scary speculations about cosmic disasters. Stephen Hawking hits the nail on the head. When the reviewer asks him to speculate about how gamma ray bursts could destroy Earth, he sensibly responds that this has not been a problem in Earth's 4.5 billion year history. Earth is in far greater danger from human actions, he says. Indeed.

Unfortunately, Neil deGrasse Tyson continues the alarmist drumbeat uninterrupted, ignoring Hawking's wise words. Tyson plunges on to the next scary speculation - ooh, how could a black hole destroy us!? Get real. We don't have to sensationalize science to make people interested. Reality is interesting enough, and more important.

Most people would think of this as depressing..but I found it very interesting. It reminds me that whatever little problems I have going on in my life..it could be worse and they're just not that important in the long run. The interviews were very interesting and the information was well thought out. I loved the CG graphics and explanations and overall just really enjoyed watching this.

The Special on ABC was out of this world...it actually scares you. Makes you wonder how will we go...anyway it was a awesome special and I recommend this to anyone who wants to know how we will be destroyed.

No, we're not. I mean, most of the stuff they list isn't going to happen in our life time or even mankind's life time. Or there isn't really anything we can do about it anyway, so why worry. As for the nuclear missiles, germ warfare and global warning, if we don't stop it now we deserve to die anyway. Lots of fun to watch. I enjoyed the part about artificial intelligence the most. Go ROBOTS!

If anything, this special will make you wonder, and get your imagination moving. As I was flicking through the remote control, I came across this special on the history channel. I could not even take my eyes off of the special effects and the mind boggeling possibilities of what could happen.

Great job guys. Arrived in great time & in excellent condition. Thanx, Mike

THIS SPECIAL WAS VERY GOOD AND BY FAR MOST INTERESTING. IT AIRED ON ABC ON AUGUST 31 06.....JUST THE POSIBILITIES OF OUR PLANET DESTROYING ITSELF WAS SO AMUZING TO WATCH BUT VERY FRIGHTNING. THEY EXPLAIN ABOUT 7 DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN. FROM SHOOTING STARS EXPLODING BY OUR PLANET, TO PLANET EARTH BEING SUCKED INTO A BLACK WHOLE. ALSO THE AFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING. IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND VIDEOS THEY SHOW OF WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN WERE THE BEST WAY THAT YOU COULD KEEP PEOPLE LIKE ME INTERESTED.

If our last days on Earth are to be one of the seven ways described in this video, it is indeed scary and something everyone should take note of. It gets down to whether you believe this is the way we'll all go, or will God and Jesus just descend from the heavens and sweep up all Christians as described in the Holy Bible. I'll take the latter any day now.

I bought this expecting it to be a serious documentary. But I guess reality just wasn`t sensational enough for them. Instead of a documentary, this is more in line with a Michael Moore/Al Gore propaganda film.
You should take anything on TV with a grain of salt, but get yourself a salt block for this one.

I mainly bought this DVD for the purpose of watching it with my family especially my parents, they don't understand Inglish and I thought that this DVD had Spanish Subtittle or a way i could of choosen from Inglish to Spanish...On the other hand this dvd was informative to what I didn't know about how the world may end. But the truth is none of us human know when and what time it is going to happen, we may use our computerize knowledge to create a dvd like this one to Emphasize viewers like me.

TO: WHO CREATED THIS DVD, PLEASE REMEBER THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH OTHER LANGUAGES THAT MAY NOT BUY YOUR PRODUCT CUZ OF THIS ISSUE.
