Did you know that 1% of the white noise you see on your television is actually background radiation from the Big Bang? From the formation of the earth and the emergence of life, to the advance of man and the growth of civilization, the CGI-driven special HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWO HOURS offers viewers a rapid-fire view of 14 billion years of history - an epic story that reveals surprising connections to our daily lives, for the first time in majestic 3D!
History of the World in Two Hours arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in the original aspect ratio of 1.66:1. While the low budget CGI distracts sometimes, the overall presentation is solid. Color saturation was beautiful without any bleeding. Black levels were consistently inky. Fine detail was above average with a couple instances of softness but nothing to mar the enjoyment of the image. The 3D version was one of the best I've seen in quite some time. There was nothing showy about it, just provided a gorgeous sense of depth. 9/10
Audio is provided by a DTS 5.1 track. Dialogue was crisp and clean. Good use of the surrounds added to being immersed in the show. LFE is deep and added to the overall listening experience. A great track that complements the superb video presentation.8.5/10
