8. Space: Unraveling the Cosmos
Site Score: 8, IMDb Score: 1 Overall Score: 9
Directed by Tom Schmidt
Year: 2013
How big is space? ? Pretty big, as it turns out. Space: Unraveling the Cosmos tries (and largely succeeds) to paint us a picture of the vastness of the universe that surrounds us. It makes it rather pointless to whine about an hour long commute to work after watching a documentary about space that deals in distances of several thousand light years. But it’s not all about the distance. The documentary discusses other cool space phenomena, like the density of a black hole (spoiler alert: about similar to packing 1,000 cars into a can of Coke). If you are looking to get your mind blown, this is the documentary for you.
