Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Admirable film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The "4" rating is solely for the stunning cinematography (meaning, the points added). The points taken off are for the deceptive nature of its presentation on the disc.Sure, I'm all for saving the planet and absolutely support the need to handle global climate change. But this "message" movie is not the way to present it. Combining beautiful footage of spectacular, mundane, and even unpleasant scenes with a wave of statistics in the narration makes for a disjointed experience at best.If it had been presented as what it was (or even described as such on the cover) I would not have had as much of a problem with it.My recommendation: turn the sound off and put on some relaxing music for the first 90 minutes or so. All the info is presented as text in the last several minutes anyway, so save that for another time.

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.

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.

I have never been so affected by a movie as this one. It makes me sad and angry. So much stupidity.Even though I knew most of the facts in the movie before I saw it, it was truly an awakening for me. I have just realized that there is a realistic outcome that this system we live in wont last. Its no joke.I think that the strengths of this movie is that it shows the whole picture and that everything is linked with everything else. Its HD picture is almost as good as "Planet Earth". Personally I thought the beginning was at bit slow, but It gets better...I highly recommend this movie. It both very educational and the you will enjoy the HD picture/sound. Its also totally free so there is no reason not to watch it. Google for "home movie 2009" or if you want it in HD, download it using Vuze HD network
