Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

musicreporter-1 Bad, over exaggerated, weak blather are only a few of the problems here. Everyone, including the over-caffenated host, just gush non- stop about the "discoveries" and "enlightenments" etc. Too much noise, too much cheer-leading, over gesturing, over- emphasis on all points, which only drive viewers away. Nat Geo- a good brand - is nowhere near the professionals on this subject - a total waste of time. Many of the gushing experts - including that young African American "authority", seem bent on over-exaggerating their points as if we're the idiots who are too slow to add a simple 2 plus 2. A major turn off. Sad, the series did have a good potential but you don't need to shout and over gesture to make a point. Trash bin time.

dieherreradiaz I was hoping for a good documentary that made different points of view and made key observations of how specific inventions of moments affected the overall human history, here we have a bit of that, the drama acts in between i welcomed at first. These acts helped to connect with these moments and give more context than just plain numbers or facts but later on the acts became way too long and took to much time from the actual documentary part of the show.Then my largest disappointment is the constant focus on USA. On the episode about architecture and transportation they dedicated at least 8 min of the show about women rights or racism in the US. I came to the show to watch a documentary about humankind i don't wanna see a story about issues in the US, its fine to mention them sure but 8-10 min just about how blacks got banned from the firsts urban areas ? no thanks,specially since after that segment they barely gave 3 min to show Arcuitecture in possible houses of space, arguably a much better topic for a episode for freaking architecture, not American civil rights history.

Alex Maurice Green This show is very misleading whitewashed and just disregards facts of history for what is inevitably awful cinematography and presentation. I am sure that hyenas would have not being chasing a group of nomadic Europeans through Eurasia 14000 years ago. Furthermore to claim that fire was just used by humans 14000 years is ridiculous. You are off by about a few 100,000 years. Just next time you want to write a show please contact a anthropologist or maybe a historian who can give you a better clue as to what your cast should look like and facts about human evolution.

fralmond ◦ An overacted and melodramatic series of speculations, conjectures, dramatizations, & fictional speculations woven into a 'story' of key elements of mankind's progress: i.e., fire, cooking, gunpowder.◦ The narrator, Jason Silva, presents dialogue with overacted caffeinated gusto, using a repetitious series of stiff, wooden gestures reminiscent of President George Bush. The format and style of the show is so amateurish that it made me wonder if the target audience was elementary or junior high. LCD in High-Def.
