Synopsis

In 200,000 years of existence, man has upset the balance on which the Earth had lived for 4 billion years. Global warming, resource depletion, species extinction: man has endangered his own home. But it is too late to be pessimistic: humanity has barely ten years left to reverse the trend, become aware of its excessive exploitation of the Earth's riches, and change its consumption pattern.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
VikramMohan "Everything on Earth is interlinked". The film gives us evidence that the consumption of chicken is one of the major causes of global warming! There are many more such links that it points out. The film focuses on the evolution of the Earth and it's resources and how man over the last 50 years has altered the balance of the Earth more than in 200,000 years of his existence. The facts that the film conveys are presented with stunning images. The film contains the best ever aerial photography I've ever seen. The soundtrack is beautiful. There must be much more publicity for stuff like these as the average man does not have access to such important information. A must watch for all those who feel responsible for the sake of the Earth. "We can no longer afford to be a pessimist".
Laober I never knew that the major half of grain we grew were to produce energy or to feed the animals to make produce meet, while the major half of people in this world suffer from hunger. What an irony fact.The footages used in this great documentary are of very high quality, beautifully edited to illustrate a simple idea: save the earth.The elegant music tenderly melt with the pictures, somehow reminds me of Kubrick's 2001.I watched the film with English VO, Glenn Close's voice is very warm and convincing.A great modern documentary for the masses.
Sha Razeek This one took my breathe away, made me cry even. It was enlightening, spiritual and entertaining, all at the same time. IMHO it trumps the best blockbuster that Hollywood can ever produce. It's main actor, this tiny blue planet we call Mother Earth. It gave me a glimpse of earth like I've never seen before. The imagery is stunning and awe-inspiring. Just when you think they've run out of the best footage, you get to feast your eyes on something better. The soundtrack is amazing too and the narrator Gless Close does an exceptional job. All in all, this gem of a documentary puts a lot of things into perspective. It made a lasting impression on me...and I only wish every single human being on earth can watch it.
tomm-25 Visually stunning aerial photography of the Earth in a two-hour film with an ecological education agenda. Visually, this film is on a par with Baraka, Blue Planet, and Planet Earth, and seems to have been filmed largely with the same type of aerial video apparatus (Cineflex V14 HD Gyro-stabilized Aerial Camera System). Interestingly (and sadly), the film appears to have been adulterated by increasing the color saturation in many scenes.Watch out for factual errors in the narration ("600 years of human habitation in cities and towns" should be "6000" years) and mispronunciations in the narration ("climactic" vs. the correct "climatic," occurs TWICE!) Also, the Grand Canyon is in Arizona -- NOT in Colorado, as stated, 'tho it is the Colorado River that created and flows thru it.The narration seems to have been done over-hastily. Glenn Close obviously was not well-coached nor was her narration work reviewed or edited properly. Perhaps - like March of the Penguins - this film would be better viewed and appreciated sans sound.
