The Future is Wild (2004)
Imagine a world far, far into the future. A world very different from our own, a time where mankind has been wiped out by massive climactic and geological changes. What would that world be like, and what kinds of creatures could survive changes that nearly destroyed the Earth? And international team or eminent scientists was formed to predict the future and its new life forms in 5 million, 100 million and 200 million years. The scientists predicted that the Earth would go through several phases. To capture these worlds are accurately as possible, a camera crew traveled to remote locations around the globe. State-of-the-art animation helped bring to life the beings of the future.

Wonderfully offbeat film!
What a beautiful movie!
Well Deserved Praise
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This was an okay series, with very good CGI and a interesting premise, but that's all.It is about the animals of the future, that for some reason, look like they were aliens, or the aliens of Planet Pandora in "Avatar".The CGI was incredible, but I liked more "Alien Planet", because I love anything related with aliens and lifeforms of different places in the universe.However, this wasn't bad, actually it was pretty interesting and had some amusing moments.This show was okay. It was better than "Walking with Dinosaurs", but not so good as "Alien Planet".
The Future is Wild is awesome! It's about the future when humans have to flee Earth due to hostile conditions, and in the beginning, we send down a probe to check things out for us back on Earth, and the show contains information about the animals that can be found 5, 100, and 200 million years into the future.Some animals that are 5 million years into the future are Carakillas, descending from types flightless birds, birds of prey, and storks, and Babookaris, descending from primates.100 million years: Reef Gliders, descending from squids and slugs, and Toratons, descending from rhinos, elephants and tortoises.200 million years: Sharkopaths, descending from sharks (including the great white) and Megasquids, descending from giant squids and octopus.
If you have ever read any of Dugal Dixon's "speculative zoology" books, you'll love this show(and if you haven't, you should). The series has the same basic theme as his book After Man; what will animals be like far in the future? The series looks at three time periods, each in which life is given a different challenge. 5 million years from now, and the Earth is in the grip of a new ice age. 100 million years from now, and it's the opposite, the whole world is very hot and wet. My favorite part is 200 million years from now, in which a mass extinction has wiped out all familiar forms of life. I don't want to give away too much about the creatures that inhabit these future worlds. Go see it for yourself, because If this show is in any way correct in its speculation, the future is truly going to be wild!
This is an educational series telling the history of life on earth as it might be based on what scientists know of past history.Told like one of the better nature programs with a view to speculating on the future. The creatures are imaginative and well explained. Each of them is presented as a potential descendant of today's species and how they came about. Biology, geography and environmental conditions are scientifically evolved by extending what we know of the past into the distant future. And this is all set to life with the use of some of the most incredible computer generated animations yet All of this makes the presentation lifelike and believable.
