Summary: Simply inspiring
Review: The first time I watched the Cosmos series was more than 20 years ago, while growing up in communist Eastern Europe. I was deeply fascinated by the idea of a Cosmos existing on a far grander scale than I had known, by Carl Sagan's wealth of knowledge and humanistic appeal, and by the beautiful music of Vangelis. "Cosmos" instilled in me curiosity and love for science that have endured to this day. Today I watch the series again and cannot help but thank the visionary Carl Sagan. "Cosmos" is a great work, full of eye-opening ideas, capped with a tremendous finale: "We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves, but also to that Cosmos, ancient and wast, from which we spring". What better way to be inspired to become a better person?

Summary: Finally some real answers!!
Review: I first rented the Cosmos series from my public library years ago, in short I will say the series and Carl Sagan changed my life. I was already Very much into space and the universe but after watching each and every thought provoking tape there was no turning back. Now that the series is remastered and on dvd I had to indulge!!!

Summary: Cosmos, Carl Sagan
Review: There has never been a more informative and smart way of explaining life. To get a better idea about the secrets of the universe, you will have to wait for the ultimate journey. I wouldn't be surprised if Carl Sagan was on the right track.

Summary: Carl Sagan's Cosmos - Still the Best
Review: I first saw the series in 1978. I loved it. I bought the book and the record of the music. It is the best documentary series I have ever seen and the Anniversary edition DVD was a compulsory purchase. I enjoyed it as much as ever... If it is anything like the original vinyl record it would be well worth purchasing.

Summary: Hervorragend
Review: This DVD was the reason why I bought a DVD-Player and applied VISA to order it from amazon.com and had to pay 35 Euro customs. Regrettably this great DVD is not available in Europe (yet).

Summary: Looking for the beautiful soundtrack music only ...
Review: I am looking for a CD of the soundtrack of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos". Does one exist or is it Vangelis "The Music of Cosmos"?

Summary: "We are a way for the Universe to know itself"
Review: This is the first genuine science series which all the following will have to measure against. It is fascinating to realize that, excellent as it was in the eighties, it still compares favorably to most contemporary documentaries. The contagious dynamism of Carl Sagan will be hard put to follow, which is deeply regrettable. Indeed, it seems that we are currently turning our sense of wonder towards our own technological feats (Of which DVD technology is indubitably part of, I know...), and inwards through global meta-communication. But the stars are patient. No doubt they will wait for us a little longer. In the meantime, treat yourselves to this little scientific and philosophical DVD wonder, Star-Gazing Fellow Earthlings, as the universe may never see its like again!

Summary: Open my mind...
Review: This is the first time that I type a review in amazon.com but I believe that this DVD needed to get my rate.
It is the best investment that I done last year... I was waiting nearly 6 months... Waiting to have an opportunity to buy it as it was out of stock everywere in that time. Carl Sagan is a wonderful professor which carry us to the cosmos in a imaginary spaceship. I wish I had a physic science teacher like him when I was studying as I believe my work will be more relevant in science than management nowadays. If you have a large TV or a projector with a great 5.1 Surrond System, you definitely need to get it. The music is also done by Vangelis which is another artist that I respect a lot. The CG are maybe old but still great to watch. Carl was discussing more than 20 years ago about issues that might happen in the futur and which now are really happening. He is not a prophet but more a professor, scientific and even more sociologist with his approach. I just wish that somebody could do some similar documentaries than him on over subject in science nowadays...
