We were both so taken with the series, that when he saw this, he asked if I would get it for him, as a gift. I didn't hesitate. What I love about this program is that it makes science interesting - fascinating, really. One is learning without being aware that they are LEARNING, if you know what I mean. It's learning via the entertainment route. Neil deGrasse Tyson should get MAJOR kudos [and a medal] for making subject matter that I remember MANY of my generation dreading in school, actually becoming, "must-see t.v." for the kids of this generation! I truly believe that material like this should be a part of mandatory curriculum in schools. What a wonderful aid this would be for teachers! The photography and presentation of material is simply stunning! Neil adds insightful information as well as thought-provoking questions and ideas to the format of the program as well. He TRULY is a rock star! Had THIS series been available to me when I was a youngster, I would have taken more of an interest in science, and I mean that! I think the way that Dr. Tyson explains very complex theories and scientific ideas in a way that is "user friendly", so to speak, coupled with the stellar imagery in each installment, helped to break down the mystery and bridge what was for me, for so long, a massive gap into the appeal of SCIENCE as one's life-work or WHY anyone would want to go into this field. No longer. I get it. Dr. Tyson is a masterful teacher, and I know what that looks like, because I am married to one. ;-) Don't hesitate to buy this! As someone who was NEVER big on science, I can tell you that this is quality viewing! It's fascinating - so glad we can watch it again and again! Worth the price of admission! Review: Astounding in Every Sense of the Word!!! - I will openly admit, Neil Degrasse Tyson is no Carl Sagan. The original Cosmos was one of the single greatest series every produced for television and a large part of that was due to Carl Sagan. He was just an exceptional speaker and his excitement for astronomy was infectious. That opening 15 minutes of the first episode was simply breathtaking. Here are 2 of my favorite statements made during that opening: “The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a great height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.” "in a ship of the imagination, unfettered by ordinary limits of speed and size, drawn by the music of cosmic harmonies. It can take us anywhere in space and time. Perfect as a snowflake, organic as a dandelion seed, it will carry us to worlds of dreams and worlds of facts. Come with me. . . ." It wasn't the background or some amazing CGI that made that opening so powerful, it was Carl Sagan's passion and his ability to convey that passion though his incredible speaking ability. I am a HUGE fan of Neil Degrasse Tyson, but he just doesn't convey that same sense of passion that Sagan did. He has a much more monotone method of speaking so you really didn't get that same level of passion or excitement that the original series gave you. That being said, this updated version of Cosmos was still brilliant and Neil Degrasse Tyson did a great job with the series. We have learned so much more since the original Cosmos aired so there was a legitimate need for this updated version. This series was just hugely entertaining, incredibly interesting, and the updated graphics/CGI were absolutely mind bending. These kinds of programs get kids interested in astronomy and this updated version of Cosmos was just a massive success all the way around. The people behind this series, many of which were behind the original series, should be very proud of their accomplishment. Just an outstanding job all the way around. The bottom line - I immediately purchased this as soon as it was made available and have watched it multiple times since then. I am a space junkie and an amateur backyard astronomer and I can never get enough quality space documentaries. This really is a brilliant series all the way around and I can't possibly give it a higher recommendation. I know Sagan would have been 100% satisfied with this updated version and that is really the best compliment I can give this series. In all honesty, this series should be part of every public schools science curriculum. Yes, its that good! 5 Stars. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Barbara Flynn, Christopher Eccleston, Geraldine Somerville, Isobel Middleton, Kieran O'Brien, Lorcan Cranitch, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Ricky Tomlinson, Robbie Coltrane, Robert Carlyle, Samantha Morton, Tess Thomson Contributor Barbara Flynn, Christopher Eccleston, Geraldine Somerville, Isobel Middleton, Kieran O'Brien, Lorcan Cranitch, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Ricky Tomlinson, Robbie Coltrane, Robert Carlyle, Samantha Morton, Tess Thomson See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,416 Reviews | | Format | Import | | Genre | Special Interests | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 4 | ## Product Details - **Format:** Import - **Genre:** Special Interests - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 4 ## Images ![Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71znvJpBDWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Science Made Simple & SO Fascinating to Learn *by J***N on November 22, 2014* This was a gift for my husband.

I loved the way Neil spoke so passionately about our universe! There is a deep sense of awe and respect there. He and Carl Sagan both spoke so poetically, it definitely sparked in me a strong interest in astrophysics as a science and a spirituality. I had read in Carl Sagan's original book that he had written the book and created the series as a way to reach out to the general public and to get us excited about our universe, which I feel he and Ann Druyan and Neil DeGrasse Tyson have accomplished with this series. It helped to have them update the graphics and CGI in these reboot to reach a more cinematically sophisticated audience. There have been some criticisms about this series of Cosmos that I will address here: 1) Animation: I've read that some reviewers thought the animation style was a little low-tech and creepy, and some would've preferred Pixar. I can definitely understand that, although, I found the style to be a balance between something that both adults and children could watch. For me, Pixar would've strayed too far into the kiddie realm. 2) Dumbed down science: I mentioned in the first paragraph that the series and book were originally meant for the lay public, people who aren't experts in the field. Even if some of the information presented is debatable, Neil encourages people to always question what you're being told, which I believe is a huge hallmark of research and exploration in the sciences. 3) Cosmos is pushing anti-religion agenda: I saw only hints of it, but maybe I'm biased because I read Carl Sagan's book first. He does not hold back on his views of religion. Compared to Carl, Neil was extremely mild in the way he presented his view. 4) The only thing I smirked at was the episode where a hot female motorcyclist was used to demonstrate the speed of sound and light. It was slightly cheesy, but easy to overlook. Overall, I think they accomplished what they were going for with this series. If anything, it makes me want to pick up more docu-series and explore more! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - Cosmos: Carl Sagan - Cosmos --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/159524407-cosmos-a-spacetime-odyssey](https://www.desertcart.at/products/159524407-cosmos-a-spacetime-odyssey) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
