If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Watching this inspires horror in normal people. The beaches in Japan the junk dredged from sea water. You feel like we are burying the planet in garbage. (Something that anyone with eyes in their heads already knows.)Where the documentary fails is when it starts asserting things like the sperm count in humans is down 40% from a generation ago. This sort of unbelievable comment adds a lunatic fringe element to this horrible problem. It is quite enough that we are ruining habitats there is absolutely no need to add this sort of unbelievable nonsense.The experts cited are unknowns from minor institutions--reproductive biologists from Spokane State etc... This further weakens these unneeded arguments. If they had used Harvard or MIT or NIH experts it would have made a difference. Finally the film drags on too long it needs editing.I hate the use of plastic and this documentary should have stuck to the polluting and harming of animals it would have been much more effective. Also making multi national evil boogie men is too cliché 60s stuff and marks it politically which alienates a lot of people.I did like its breathless style where it transitions instantly from Shanghai to Colorado that was impressive.It is pity it comes off overall as boring and weak because we are burying the planet in harmful waste not just plastics...heavy metals...glass..pharmaceutical waste..electronic debris... old furniture concrete GARBAGE PERIOD on and on and on...A product of there being just too many people.And there is no solution except maybe a catastrophic ice age or some such thing. I actually hope for that to save the planet and all the other life that lives here.

This is by no means a perfect film, but a couple of the other users' reviews surprise me with their cynicism and actually make me suspect there might be moles from plastic corporations writing "reviews" here. Yes, Werner B. is clearly trying to emulate Michael Moore's style, and there's a moment or two where his playful, spontaneous interviewing style gets in the way of the interviewed person fully expressing their (usually very interesting) opinions. The guy of the bioplastic corporation in particular springs to mind. However, to say that this film carries no information and that its message is "alarmist" is absurd. The film clearly shows EVIDENCE of the effects of plastic in our health, with factual data provided by experts and plenty of real examples. Anyone thinking this is "alarmist" must live in a parallel world where it doesn't matter if the entire food chain is contaminated and transformed, the prevalence of cancer and endocrine disorders increase and the companies which create plastic are allowed to work secretly without revealing to the consumers what they really are doing. Poor plastic firms! Let's just keep on blindly consuming their products and not think too much, OK? After all, as we all know, they only have our best interest at heart and don't care about such things as money, huh?

Plastic Planet is a documentary, directed by Werner Boote. This is the « story » of a man who tries to gather studies about plastic effects (on human health) for industries take the dangerous substances out of it. This movie is interesting; we realize that plastic is everywhere and unsafe for human health, but some thing are said several times and some scenes are not very attractive, for example the one with parts of human corpses conserved to do some art. Then, there are some boring parts, for instance when he (Werner Boote) walks and he's looking for the manager of plastic industry. Actually, this movie is interesting but a little bit boring. In my opinion, if you want to appreciate the film : watch it in several times when you're calm and when you want to learn about plastic. Finally, my opinion is mixed. As far I'm concerned, I've found it attractive despite the long and boring parts. My advice is to watch it and judge by yourself ... so, watch it and try to enjoy !

The script about the film «  Plastic Planet » Talk about a life with plastic everywhere. This documentary was produced in cooperation with the director, Weerner Boote. In this documentary, there are lots of interviews. All the interviews try to present positives points of plastic. It try to raise awareness all the people. It get involved for the environment because wildlife is threaten. But plastic is it dangerous for human? Do you think that life without plastic is possible? We are starting with strong points of this documentary. The subject is interesting because it's a n actual problem. Then it's surprising. In my opinion I didn't know that there was so much plastic in the world. « Plastic Planet » it was a very good subject to learn. We can see it in family, there is no violence so a child can see the documentary. But now, we are talking about weak points. This documentary is too long and a little boring. The man who presents were serious all the time and it's not very funny.I advice you ask what are solutions about plastic, because it's possible that is dangerous. And finally ask if Mr Boote feel to handle the situation. To conclude I'll give you my opinion about the documentary. I don't like this documentary because it's too long and boring. But the subject is interesting because it's an actual problem and we are all concerned.
