@Sabine We are sorry that you did not enjoy the show but are surprised that you felt so disappointed. There are many stories to tell about the universe we live in and WAA is all about the modern day challenges faced by astronomers and how it is necessary for international collaboration across disciplines to answer the unresolved questions of the universe. We have had very positive feedback from a wide range of people, young and old and you are the first person to express such negative comments.

The target audience is a general family audience, it is designed to have something for everyone and try to inspire people to look up and question the universe around us. There is also the objective or trying to inspire 13-19 year olds to consider future careers in science and engineering.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we hope the next dome show you see better meets your expectations.

@Gem Croft, glad you enjoyed the film. The music was composed by New Zealand artist Rhian Sheehan, there is more info here with links to his site http://weareastronomers.com/music/

I thought the soundtrack was absolutly beautiful! Can anyone tell me who composed it?

Also, David Tennant, as usual, was a babe and a half! I enjoyed it sooo much.

I watched we-are-astronomers yesterday at greenwich observatorium and thought it was really bad. Basically I didnt learn anything. The film was all about scratching the surface of the subject, flashing colors and flying things in 3D. It seemd the budget on it was less than 1000 pounds. Not sure what the target group for this “documentary” is but I had the feeling it was for children. In that case they should warn adults to not waste their time.
I expect from a planetarium to get educated about stars and star signs, life cycle of a stars etc.
I was really dissappointed and about to claim my money back.
Cant recommend to watch it at all!

ps: I dont wanna know what average educated people do know about the profession of an astronomer.

Went for a ‘lads’ weekend in Edinburgh to celebrate my 40th and somehow ended up at Dynamic Earth during an impulsive bus tour between, um, celebratory drinks!!! I have to say the WAA show was one of the highlights of the whole, without too much detail, really interesting weekend. I would recommend this to both young and old and it is certainly worth the entrance fee to just see this show alone. The narration, music and film all came together perfectly and would love to own a copy to just play again and again. Seriously thinking of a trip with my family to share this experience with them. Thank you very much!

Another fan from New Zealand, this is one incredible film, myself and my girlfriend loved every moment, educational and entertaining and inspiring.

Music was brilliant to say the least, will certainly buy the soundtrack when it comes out

Saw this last week in Auckland, New Zealand - fantastic! The three of us (29, 26 and 16yo) all loved it, it was engaging and informative but still accessible.

I’ve also been interested in space and astronomy but this movie was very inspiring.

Thank you!!

Fifteen of us, aged from 4 to 71, sat spellbound through today’s 30 minutes of magic that is “We Are Astronomers” at the National Space Centre in Leicester.

A glorious film … thank you SO much.

My family and I were at the National space centre today and were lucky enough to see this film. We were all totally blown away by the beauty of this production. Even my 1 year old sat completely mesmerised thought. I cant recommend this film enough. Fantastic. More of the same please!!
