This is long overdue. I hope they do all the other universe collection in 3d too.
Actually, Johnny, this has already been released and reviewed on here: http://www.blu-raydefinition.com/reviews/the-universe-7-wonders-of-the-universe-blu-ray-3d-review.html. Also, we’re in the process of working on the review for The Universe in 3D, which is a collection of three separate episodes from the series, 7 Wonders of the Solar System included. :)
