Film was entertaining; however, editing was poor and caused the flow of the storyline to be rather jagged. I found the concepts interesting. What made the DVD were the interviews with the scientists in the special features section. Although there were some contradictory comments, this section gave the brain something to think about. Would have been great if silicon-based life was hypothesized. Film worth viewing.

I found this film quite entertaining. It explores the possibility of life on other planets and what that life might look like. You will enjoy how the writers stretch your imagination with the vast differences of how these life forms look, move, communicate, reproduce and survive in such a different world.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Discovery channel movie about the possibility of another planet that has or could sustain life based on our definition,and the incredible concepts of what that may look like.The video was done in chapters as to possibly have commercials,but I did not find that a problem. Audio was awesome if you have surround,and wished there was more to see at the end. This truly sparks the imagination,and addresses some problems of light year travel. Definitely recommend if you like the subject of UFO's & space travel.
