“A powerful film. With an elegance and economy of language, Ferris manages to cover a sweeping range of science in two hours while probing some of the deepest questions humans have ever asked.”
Robert Naeye, Astronomy
“An inviting, well-rounded look at the research and sociology of how we came to be.”
Stuart Goldman, Sky & Telescope
“Admirers of this science writer’s 1985 film, The Creation of the Universe, should again be engaged by the sweep of his argument, which draws on everything from astrophysics to microbiology to science fiction, and by the visual inventiveness that his producers have brought to their evocations of planets and galaxies, volcanoes and ice-bound wastes.”
Walter Goodman, The New York Times
