Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Grace What's with everyone bashing Dr.Cox? I think he's fascinating. He explains complex subjects in simple ways, and is obviously passionate about what he's doing. He speaks clearly, and I feel like he pauses just long enough for you to absorb the information before he moves on. I have to say though, sometimes it's difficult to absorb the information because I'm distracted by how darn handsome he is! That man makes science sexy. ;-)The places he visits are amazing. It's very interesting to get to see (and learn about) these different places while also learning about the solar system. I loved the part about Aurora Borealis. But my favorite parts are when he makes models (of different things like Saturn's rings and moons) with ordinary items like rocks and sand, and then explains it so well that it seems that those rocks and sand are the absolute perfect tools for explaining whatever complex thing he's talking about.

t800-709-74796 I usually like science series. However this on i just had to switch of... The way Brian speaks makes the hairs on my neck stand up. ill try to emulate it in typing :"It's,    just With,    different Pauses,      where none  are   needed, And every Word     seems to,   Be     the Start of A sentence."And then the fake painted on emotions, the solar eclipse is the most amazing thing he has ever seen ... the the northern light is the most amazing thing .... and so one.If seen a total solar eclipse in person , and while there is an eerie atmosphere during totality , he makes it out like the solar system is handcrafted just to show off an eclipse to us.And if only he was telling something really new. If you are a complete novice in science you might pick something up , for the rest , i found it an annoying waste of time.

peterclark99 Brian Cox is the kind of man who can incite excitement in adults, change career paths of the young, and generally engage and include people of all levels of intelligence. His rock star credentials have clearly allowed him to transcend stereotypical geekiness, and purvey complex matters in simplistic formats. Maybe he is a genius? A man who clearly has a highly active brain in both the areas of arts and science. It is just such a guy that the country needs as it seeks to transform itself from a Nation of number crunching Accountants to a re-establishing Nation of scientists, engineers and innovators. He is clearly a reminder of what we once were and what this great Nation once spawned, and more importantly he has answered some of the biggest questions that have shadowed mankind since the creation of time.

spotlightne Wonders of Solar System has a very high rating on the IMDb, and in a way I can see why.It's a very lavish BBC production, high on costs and no expense is spared in the photography, nor the film locations. This series must have cost the Beeb a bomb.But it's the presenter Dr Brian Cox I can't abide. I don't really want to get personal but the guy looks like a wax work. He grins constantly whilst speaking and he commands not one ounce of authority.In the first episode he managed to babble on whilst grinning throughout the entire programme and I found it very off-putting. I am no science expert but what he was saying I thought, 'so what?' I gave this a one star rating, because for me it's simply unwatchable. The style is very patronising. Yes, the shots of earth and space are nice. But that doesn't detract from the fact that Mr Cox is a very annoying, plastic individual.
