The Universe is a fantastic documentary from History that explores the vast depths of our solar system and beyond. It's a spectacular series to own on either Blu-ray or DVD. Unfortunately, I have no idea why Our Solar System is being released when there is absolutely nothing new about it.

QUALITY:
As expected, the quality is fantastic. The show combines interviews, CGI videos, and real space footage to explore everything that goes on in our solar system. In fact, it's the exact same stuff you can find in the Season 1 Blu-ray.

BONUS FEATURES:
None

As a standalone title, Our Solar System is a great Blu-ray. But lets be real. Our Solar System contains the first 10 episodes of The Universe: Season 1. The entire first season was already released on Blu-ray in 2008! It was then released again in 2009 as part of the Season 1-4 collection! There simply is no point to re-release an incomplete season a third time. Fans have no doubtingly already purchased these episodes elsewhere. It's not like there's any new information being given either.

I honestly can't recommend this because of the reason explained above. I'm not quite sure what History Channel was thinking when they made this but don't fall for it. Get one of the other two Blu-ray sets available, they're much better.
