Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

mnm619 Like most criticisms of GMOs, this film makes a number of arguments that abuse science and twist economics. I have some concerns about the loss of biodiversity that modern agribusiness begets, the legal framework surrounding engineered seeds, etc., but so far the evidence indicates that GMO crops are safe to consume (which isn't to say that no GMO seed could ever be unsafe) and it's clear that genetic modifications have dramatically increased crop yields, lifting countless people out of poverty and preventing countless people in poverty from experiencing hunger or starvation. The filmmaker didn't seem to understand the benefits of GMOs or the economics of agriculture. On the other hand, he did seem to let the number of farmers that he interviewed, who had a variety of perspectives, speak for themselves. I found their comments, whether pro-GMO, anti-GMO or ambivalent, very worthwhile.I don't think that the filmmaker really got it on the issue and I wouldn't recommend that anyone watch the film as their sole exposure to the GMO issue, but people who are interested in such things could probably, if they're balancing the film out with resources of other perspectives, find value in it.

mpk-11851 I think this is a good show worth watching, however, you need to be careful on what to expect up front. From reading some of the bad reviews, they took this as a serious documentary. As a documentary, this plays out much like the Trump campaign. Scare tactics with kids to establish their point, no substance in any argument, lack of any expert opinion, etc, etc. The documentary is much better described as a comical horror movie. The plot more or less plays out that GMOs are monsters that have overtaken our food and our children are the victims of these monsters. Just keep in mind, just like monsters are not hiding in your closet and the boogie man does not exist, GMOs are not so scary (they are more regulated and carefully managed than the organic counterparts). I think a good sequel would be "Starvation: The Consequence of Organic Farming."

mchaleme13 First off, I think the whole GMO 'debate'has been over-simplified. The prominent issue many of us have with GMOs is with seeds that are being modified in order to be bombarded with poison(s). The argument that this will feed all the worlds starving population is simply ludicrous and short sighted. This 'food shortage' other reviewers speak of is a fallacy, we have a MASSIVE ALLOCATION problem one in which all the roundup they make will not solve, ever. To say that that GMO will fix this is ridiculous, open your eyes and realize everything is about profits. Feeding starving people is not profitable, period. Feeding the insane amounts of cattle in North America (where BTW all that GMO corn goes to) well now that is. So next time one wants to argue that roundup ready seeds will feed the world, stop and do a bit of research, you will find out where all that corn and grain is actually going.I promise you that it is not going to feed the starving population that you speak of. As many people have stated, GMOs have been around forever...so if this is the solution to end world hunger then why are so many people still going hungry? We make more than enough food to feed everyone and this is a fact. Soon this will no longer be the case though, if we continue on this path our bee populations will continue to dwindle and no one will be able to grow anything. The fact that even Pixar and children know this and naysayers don't, would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. There simply is not enough room on here to address the issues but if you want to believe that roundup ready is nutritious and healthy, I feel sorry for you and your ignorance. I feel for our planet and all the destruction that these chemicals cause. Hopefully my younger generation (who sees things VERY differently than the boomers)will be able to affect change...one has to hope.Even your own president would rather eat organic produce, how that doesn't say something to you is beyond belief.

ruenobel The concerning aspect of genetically modified organisms in food is examined in this surprisingly sweet documentary. Pesticides, herbicides and frankenfoods are unpleasant subjects, but this film softens the blow of bad news about what we eat by using the narrative thread of a father out to find answers about what's in the food he feeds his kids. It was news to me that countries as non-citizen-loving as Russia and China require labeling on GMO food products, while the US does not. With anti-Monsanto marches happening around the country, this film provides a good capsule of information about the GMO issue. The dry science is offset by a range of easy-on-the-eye locations such as Haiti, Norway and France.
