In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
This fine series is a fascinating look into the shaping and adaptation of our world...all of it! Our guide is a very coherent Geologist, who tells the stories of the history and Future of the planet. He does so in a captivating, logical and brilliant manner, highlighted by a pleasant Scottish burr.So much more than simply Geology is explained. Rather flora and fauna and the effects that earth-events had on them is made clear.This is a treat for all the senses!
