Reviews

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
SnoopyStyle In 1977, NASA launched Voyager1 and Voyager2. They traveled to the lesser-known outer planets and some of the moons orbiting them. The planets' rare alignment made it an opportune time. Carl Sagan is the driving force behind the golden record of earthly sounds which became the media focus.This is slightly better than most PBS hour long specials. It's actually 96 minutes and packs an emotional punch. The wide-eyed poetry of exploration is well presented. This is a lot things. It's an underdog story. It's a scientific documentary. It's an exploration thriller. It brings back all the great discoveries. This could be great for inspiring a high school science class.
Gordon-11 This documentary tells the decades of discoveries led by a group of scientists and the two Voyager probes.The images are beautiful and literally out of this world. It is great to see so many interviews of scientists who were involved in the process. There is a lot of inside information, such as the opposition to taking a final photo of the solar system at the end of the mission. I got moved to tears many tints, because this mission is beyond humanity, beyond space and beyond time.
Kenyae Kofi I love this movie and how many scientist were discussing about the experience with voyaging space. To see how Jupiter was formed and how it had its own vortex and how the magnetic force around Jupiter could form its own particles. Also, to hear that if you go in the middle of Jupiter you could melt from the gas planet. I loved seeing the journey for other life forms and even though the language was sort of making assumptions of other life forms. The evidence pieces that were shown were definitely challenging. I hope we do find other life forms. It was cool to see Lawrence Krauss as well.
bettycjung 2/21/18. I love documentaries about Space, but for some reason this only came across as okay. I thought it would have been a more scientific retelling of everything Voyager has done, and it has done a lot, but instead it was just people involved talking what they did. I suppose hearing it first-hand could make it seem more inspiring, but just a documentary about the mission the Voyager set out to accomplish would have been a lot more interesting (at least to me). There, however, was some good NASA footage, but it should have included more!
