UNKNOWN: COSMIC TIME MACHINE (Video on Demand (VOD) World-Wide 2023)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Unknown: Cosmic Time Machine  is another interesting film from the Unknown documentary movie series and also from Netflix Studios. It is marked with great cinematography and accesses information that may not be known by much of the public. Know that the movie seems not to provide enough information to come full circle. It needs order established in its presentation. That order may be achieved by breaking it into two presentations to allow time for that necessary range of information presentation. This ground breaking story falters. The 1990 Hubble telescope launch was significant, but it was not launched with the purpose of entering deep space. Whereas the James Webb telescope is meant to travel into deep space. The film is interesting and worth watching.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. This is worth watching to keep up to date with academic work in relation to space. Know that the movie has not been designed as an entertainment piece and did not give enough time to fully inform.
