Details

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.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
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.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
csbump There is no doubt that population is the root cause of our problems. There are no workable solutions here. We are at or near the end of one of five major ice ages. The melting of ice is going to happen with or without us. Water vapor (clouds) hold heat 1000 times more than carbon dioxide. Change in the weather occurs over and over thousands of times in the past. At times when population could not impact the climate. We are making decisions based on knowledge in weather from only the last 150 years or so. So little is known. Climate change occurs constantly and the greatest changes occur take more than a life time to monitor. Changing anything now cannot make any difference. Reducing population somehow would be the best for all the people of the world. There is more in this story than what is being told. The photography is top shelf here though.
Hassan Tayshoori I liked everything about this film! It is honest, real and expressive! This is our reality! Our scary future! I know that the planet is much stronger than us and doesn't even care about us whether we live or die, however we are destroying other animals' lives just because we are egoistic, cruel and stupid. We are the worst thing that ever happened to this planet and its innocent plants and animals. WAKE UP!
Syl This documentary is about our planet Earth told to us by narrator. Glenn Close in the English language version does an excellent job in reading somewhat poetry with enlightening information about how to handle the Earth, it's resources, and wealth without destroying it. Over the last several years, there have been arguments about the planet's capabilities. Unless we have another planet out in the nearby solar system, it is very likely we will never leave our earthly planet but don't fret. There is plenty to see around the world. The photography or cinematography is as first rate as the National Geographic editions. That's what I think of with this documentary is the beauty captured by the camera overlooking land. There are no interviews or experts talking. Yes, I would highly recommend this viewing for everybody to show the beauty of the earth and to celebrate our time here.
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".
