Wow this has some great animations. Really puts the scale in perspective.
So one day, we may be the meat in an intergalactic hamburger.

Anyone else really dislike that narrator? His cadence and emphasis seem so random.

He's a young g-man from Half Life.

I kept expecting the narrator to tell me I'm about to enter... THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

No kidding. He sounds like a voice synthesizer reading from a text file. Either that or he's trying to mimic William Shatner (and doing a really bad job at that!).

Sounds like a mix of Shatner and "Future Weapons" guy. Great video though.

yah narator pusses at anoying times making it hard to watch ,

animatoin was realy pore , 3d models and rendering were ok , but the animatoin was jerky , i think they were stretched for footage and so had to resort to using post animatoin rather than doing it in the 3d package.

The narrator is far less annoying then your posting style. You see all those red lines that appear under the "words" as you mash the keyboard? They mean things.

Those are not animations wizzed up by some kid to look fancy, they are actual SIMULATIONS of galaxies colliding, black holes forming etc. and they are badass. The animation is not meant to impress animators, but to be informative.If you are looking for impressive space animations, go see the new Star Trek movie or something.

I don't think the animations of a black hole as a 3D dent on the map is a simulation.. I think it's just an animation, and a poor one at that. (That's only in the beginning I've seen though, so I'm sure it will pick up later in.)

I could have gone with just the animations, sans narration. The last one of the galaxies merging, for example, cut off way too soon.

I like how the Subaru Quasar looks like a monster from an Atari game.

Yes, some of it isnt exactly top-notch animation, I agree with that, but those are visualizations of invisible stuff, so they would probably look atleast inaccurate, no matter if Pixar spent two years on them. I am talking about the awesome bits where you can see early universe web forming supermassive black holes, the galaxies colliding etc, which is simulated on a supercomputer, and then rendered as animation

I'm just pleased there's no "OMG the black hole is coming! Get to the bomb shelter!" comment here

^The interesting thing is, at all times during human history have we been crashing towards Andromeda. Our whole existence plays out while we are in "free fall" towards something. If we speed up to astronomical time, it will just be two luminous clouds intertwining, but during that time civilizations, species, worlds have come into existence and gone again.

The sheer scale of it all is staggering.

I see what you did very clever , before criticising others maby you should work on not making compleaty useless and moronic posts ?
