The video is kind of cool. Some of the data presented seems outdated and incorrect. All in all an enjoyable video though.

I liked it okay - not totally thrilled, but not bored either. The 3D in it just didn't strike me as 3D as it might have been.

  Yep, no doubt it is a cool simulator.
  
  But, a super computer, can always do a great job, at simulating the graphics!
