Leave your thoughts about A Brief History of Time.
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonA Brief History delivers a clear, often fascinating precis on the investigations and beliefs of one of the world's leading scientific theorists. Yet Morris is too shrewd a documentarian to miss the drama of Hawking's life. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenA Brief History of Time is an elegant, inspirational and mysterious movie. Morris turns abstract ideas into haunting images, and keeps them spinning in the air with the finesse, and playfulness, of a master juggler. |
| The DissolveScott Tobias[The film has] a sophisticated agenda that's more about association than data or personal trivia, and Morris' philosophy takes it to places a conventional documentary could never go. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsA capable documentary, but the title's misleading. It's more about Hawking himself than the book this docu takes its name from. |
| User ReviewSteven SExcellent and accessible look at our universe. A must-see film. |
| User ReviewKnox MMy favorite filmmaker, Errol Morris, has directed some of the greatest documentaries of all time, and "A Brief History of Time" is no exception. Both a bio pic of Stephen Hawking, and a look at Hawking's mind blowing theories. A must-see for both science fans, and documentary fans. |
| User ReviewMichael SCome on..if u don't watch this, then don't talk to me! |
| User ReviewMatthew KAn incredible documentary based on Hawking's best selling book. Equal parts biography and equal parts theoretical physics lecture, the film works on many levels. If you don't understand the science, then you can enjoy and be inspired by the amazing life story of Hawking and the film's breathtaking visuals. |
| User ReviewBen Rgreat great great. doc moviemaking on a different scale. who else could make hawking's computer voiceover intruiging |
| User ReviewTrevor DI went in to this expecting a synopsis of professor Hawkins' theories, but what I got was a synopsis of the man himself, beautifully told. |
