I just bought a 3D TV and player and wanted to really test it out with this movie. If you love the History channel's shows on the Universe, you will be stunned at the beauty of this movie! The 3D is just spectacular!! I cannot say enough good things about the 3D. I showed it to my sister, who loves these kind of information shows also, and she was blown away by the experience. But I also love how History Channel put this together. I definitely learned things about our own solar system I did not know. And I watch these type of History, Discovery, Science channel shows ALL the time. I mean, ALL the time. The graphics really illustrate, in a very up close way, what the presenters are telling you in this movie. The scientists not only tell you about Encelidus (one of the Wonders), but you see what it looks like. The experience was more like being in a planetarium than watching a movie. When the sun is being explained, you literally feel as though you can just reach out and touch it. Really stunning. I won't give away what all the Wonders are, but you will love how the History channel brings them to you. This definitely raises the bar on what all the other channels, like the History Channel, show and how they show it.

This was my first 3d movie. I've had some doughts on the whole 3d experience but let me tell you this movie got me hooked. Im a 3D fan. Not only was the visual effects amazing the whole movie was great. Im also an outer space /universe fan. So watching this in 3d was a great experience for me. I recommend this movie to all who love 3D movies and outer space. Its also a great movie to have kids watch. It kept my cousins and niece entertained. So 5 stars from me.

This 3D Blu-Ray exceeded my expectations. I was expecting the same episode that originally aired on The History Channel, probably with some gimmicky 3D effects added in (yes, I bought it anyway, hoping that I was wrong). However, I was surprised to see (what I believe to be) some new, 3D interview footage and some new narration recorded specifically for this release. The 3D effects are very good. Seeing tiny Mercury eclipse the giant Sun in 3D is breathtaking as are some of the beautiful images of the rings of Saturn. Sure, most of it is CG, but that's fine because it looks really great. The only poor CG has to do with the spacecraft in which you are supposedly touring the solar system. Really, my only complaint is that there is some substantial crosstalk in many scenes, mostly when you see an object against the blackness of space. If that weren't true, I would have given this release 5 stars instead of 4. My 2-year-old son is showing a lot of interest in space/planets/astronomy, so I thought he might enjoy this. Indeed, he did. He sat riveted through the whole thing (which, if you knew my hyper son, is pretty amazing). "Is that Saturn?", "Look, the Sun! It's coming out of the TV!", "Wow, the Sun is very hot!", etc. One thing this video accomplished for my son is something I had been unable to articulate to a 2-year-old; that is the sheer size of the planets. The 3D really helps to illustrate this in a way that nothing else can. I think he now has a good sense of how enormous the sun is when compared to other planets. This video satisfied an itch that I hoped would have been scratched by many of the 3D Imax documentaries out there that disappointed me. It's a good, 3D documentary that can serve as a good demo of your new 3D TV, yet also be interesting and watchable in its own right. "7 Wonders of the Solar System" accomplishes this nicely. Sure, it has a few problems (crosstalk, poor CG graphics for the spacecraft, etc.), but overall I'm really happy with it. Videos are subjective though, so your mileage may vary.

Please note, I did NOT watch this in 3D (I do not have a 3D TV), so I cannot comment on that component of it, just the show itself. This roughly hour long episode, which cover the "7 wonders of the solar system" was entertaining and somewhat informative (some of it I was familiar with, some of it I was not). I have seen better, more informative programs, but this wasn't bad. It was written for an audience with a moderate understanding of the solar system, no more, so I think there was bound to be some overlap with past programs or knowledge. My primary "complaint", if you can call it that, with the show was that it felt gimmicky. The space ship (which was, as some have said, prooly animated) felt cheesey, and the constant reminders that it was a 3D program were silly. Furthermore, one of the scientists was quite cheesey in his explanations. I also felt the choice of Earth as the #1 wonder was cliched and predictable; I assumed Earth or Life would be the #1 and I was disappointed that they didn't surprise me. All that said, I learned things I didn't know before, so I got what I wanted out of it. It was entertaining and interesting, and I don't feel that I was cheated out of my $10...and more importantly, it answered my question as to whether I might want to buy the Universe series (which I think I will). I recommend to anyone looking for a beginner to intermediate review of some of the wonders of our solar system.

The footage is wonderful in 3D. I've watched similar in normal 2D and it's spectacular, but 3D makes it even more spectacular. As for the 7 wonders that were picked. OK, interesting selections. I guess it's hard to pick just seven things when there's so many wonders to choose from. The video of the sun was really different with the surface churning and the whole thing just floating there because of the 3D effects. It was also neat that the scientists were more obviously standing in front of the background. This video comes from the history channel so it does cover some of the science and give's actual scientists a chance to talk about what we're seeing. Other than the 3D, it's almost like watching something on the history channel. I love the history channel. Hence I loved this video. Also, I got this disk for around $7. It's impossible to go wrong at that price.

It is what it is. You wouldn't be reading this review of you weren't into these types of shows. 3d quality is as good as expected. I actually got the wrong movie I meant to get and this isn't particularly my favorite one, but with that being said I still want to keep it and it's exactly as advertised. The negative feedback pertaining to 3D quality is nonsense. If it's as bad as they say, it's because they bought the cheapest 3d tv on the market and had nothing to do with the product itself. Just an fyi.. the episode I meant to order was wonders of the universe, not wonders of the solar system. All the same, it's exactly as described and, for the price, buy it just to have it if nothing else. You cannot beat the price and, though it wasn't what I meant to buy, I thoroughly enjoyed it regardless.

I am new to the whole 3D home theater thing, but I can tell you that all 3D movies are not alike. When I first got my LG 3D television, I wanted to look up every 3D movie on DVD to play on it. I got the dinosaur one and the fish one, and a whole bunch of them including the sports illustrated swimsuit one. Some movies show depth in the scene (such as the swimsuit one) more than the scene popping out at you. This movie is the later. If you like space and you like 3D, this is a must have movie. Planets and asteroids go flying by and the detail is amazing. It is everything I could ever want in the 3D experience. I highly recommend this DVD.
