Bill Nye: Science Guy
Bill Nye is retiring his kid show act in a bid to become more like his late professor, astronomer Carl Sagan. Sagan dreamed of launching a spacecraft that could revolutionize interplanetary exploration. Bill sets out to accomplish Sagan's mission, but he is pulled away when he is challenged by evolution and climate change contrarians to defend the scientific consensus. Can Bill show the world why science matters in a culture increasingly indifferent to evidence?

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
A biographical piece on Bill Nye. It will probably be most entertaining to people that grew up on his show from the 90's. Creationism debate is featured prominently.
I have always admired Bill Nye--first, for the whacky science guy that got kids engaged in trying to figure out the world. Second, I appreciate what he is trying to do for science. Scientists aren't always the best at conveying their findings in layman's terms, but he (and Neil deGrasse Tyson, and OF COURSE Carl Sagan) is a fabulous science "translator," as well as advocate/ambassador for real science. The claims that he isn't a scientist just blow me away. He IS a scientist. Merriam-Webster defines a scientist as a person who studies, specializes in, or investigates a field of science and does scientific work. He is an engineer and inventor and has contributed to designs of 747 planes and of equipment used to clean up oil spills. He holds 3 patents and has worked with JPL to design and create a sundial and camera calibrator on the Mars Exploration Rover. His understanding of the science of global climate change parallels the 97% consensus of published and peer reviewed climate research. While he is afflicted to a degree with stardom, this movie shows that he couldn't be more serious about science and the desire to spread enlightenment.
Bill Nye the science guy was a staple in my youth. If I was home from school, PBS was on and I was watching Bill Nye. He was a part of my inspiration to go on and become involved in science. This documentary takes a personal approach to looking at Bill Nye as a Science Advocate, and less so about the kids science show host. It is about his shift in his role of impact on the world. I feel it is that this documentary is to let the kids who grew up with him, that he is now focusing on us yet again. His goal now is to educate the generation who watched his shows, who have now grown and have families of their own - to be sure that the importance of science, and evidence, and questioning the world around you. So that we, can then make sure to impress that importance to our own children. Well done, and worth watching.
The cinematography is brilliant! And as a science evangelist, Bill Nye has been educating the Millennial Generation for the last 20 years. Through his beloved and highly educational mega-hit television series from the 1990s, Bill Nye made the wonder and awe of science entertaining and digestible for millions of millennials, inspiring many to pursue careers science, technology, engineering and math. In the years following his television show, Bill has entered the political arena, defending evolution against steadfast creationists and fighting tirelessly to maintain the integrity of science as it becomes threatened by profit-driven, politically servile decision- making. To Bill, science is "the best idea we've ever had as a species."
