Alien Worlds

Synopsis

Two-part series exploring the possibility of habitable planets and alien life forms outside our solar system. Experts believe that, with the launch of a new generation of telescopes, new planets and new life forms could be discovered in the next decade. In a unique experiment, leading scientists predicted the climates of possible planets, then evolutionary biologists brought the aliens to life, designing every detail of how they might survive. The resulting worlds are eerily familiar, but truly alien.

DVD extras include a documentary ‘The Making Of Alien Worlds’, trailer plus DVD Rom content featuring fully interactive planet and alien profiles with cgi animation.
