The Future is Wild

Imagine a world far, far into the future. A world very different from our own, a time where mankind has been wiped out by massive climactic and geological changes. What would that world be like, and what kinds of creatures could survive changes that nearly destroyed the Earth? And international team or eminent scientists was formed to predict the future and its new life forms in 5 million, 100 million and 200 million years. The scientists predicted that the Earth would go through several phases. To capture these worlds are accurately as possible, a camera crew traveled to remote locations around the globe. State-of-the-art animation helped bring to life the beings of the future.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This without a doubt one of the most interesting premises in a documentary and the team of scientists, designers and animators did a splendid job in order to create these creatures.Apart from the first episode which just a quick summary of watch this series is about, the rest of the episodes are quit well made, with each of the giving us a different environment and creatures which inhabit and what they did in order to survive in that conditions and of course different animals and some plants to. If I had an issue with the series it would be that is showing a bit of a limited number of creatures per episode, whoever this only a small complain and in truth if they were more it may was difficult to follow the documentary.As for the designs there-selves as we go further and further in to the future they become even more alien to our eyes and bizarre to the point that they seem more some from science fiction ,but if you look around then these adaptations make total sense and it a testament to the work that was put in here.Over all there aren't many documentaries that try to think how would the animals and plants be in the coming ages and this is by far the most well known and perhaps the best example of speculation done right.

I can still count the days when I watched this documentary series by Discovery Channel, from its pilot episode to the separate ones. Okay, I haven't watched them all yet, but I love this series. Although completely fantasy, "The Future is Wild" is can give as a glimpse of what may happen many years from now. The documentary series is also fresh with ideas. The idea of man sent to another planet, and send space probes to Earth to view life, is complex, if not science fiction, genius. The animals that are supposed to live on Earth during our departure are somewhat bizarre, but very memorable to me. I manage to draw them on paper when I'm bored, and label them by their names. Sometimes I even create my own "future beasts". This series may be based on Dougal Dixon's book "After Man", since they both give us a view of the future.This is a really memorable series to me. I would recommend this to anyone, if it is still running on the Discovery Channel.Excellent.

The process of evolution is well enough understood at this point to speculate about future directions and not seem totally ridiculous.In his book, "AFTER MAN", Dougal Dixon attempts to model a possible world some 50 million years hence and does so reasonably convincingly. He also worked on the series "The Future is Wild" some twenty something years later and the scope is much more ambitious. I would have given it more time and attempted to show greater depth than the makers of the series did. Much of it seemed glossed over and the rational for many of the various creatures was sketched out a little too loosely. If anything I would have liked to see it projected still farther into the future as changes in the sun cause the Earth to become very different.While I don't think comparisons with Walking with Dinosaurs are totally fair, the difference in production values between the two is evident, but so far as depicting the habits of animals that have never been seen alive, their intent is pretty much the same. The future shown here is plausible.This series is better viewed on DVD than broadcast because a lot of little points go by quite quickly and many of the comments from scientists are somewhat subtle and deserve closer scrutiny. One will realize that many of them are in disagreement with several of the models presented in the series.

The Future is Wild is awesome! It's about the future when humans have to flee Earth due to hostile conditions, and in the beginning, we send down a probe to check things out for us back on Earth, and the show contains information about the animals that can be found 5, 100, and 200 million years into the future.Some animals that are 5 million years into the future are Carakillas, descending from types flightless birds, birds of prey, and storks, and Babookaris, descending from primates.100 million years: Reef Gliders, descending from squids and slugs, and Toratons, descending from rhinos, elephants and tortoises.200 million years: Sharkopaths, descending from sharks (including the great white) and Megasquids, descending from giant squids and octopus.
