Sadly Over-hyped
recommended
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Not to be picky but I'd expect that someone checks the basic facts before writing a script for the narrator. In "Faces of Earth" episode "Shaping the Planet" about 4 minutes in there is talk about how much magma is moved and the voice over gives us 88,000 cubic feet, or 'enough to fill a football stadium 2000 times over". 88,000 divided by 2000 that is 44 cubic feet per football stadium. I am not a football fan, but driving by one of these stadiums 44 cubic feet sure will not fill them up.I've done video production for a number of years and understand that certain esoteric facts can get screwed up in a project, but basic math should not be one of them.Peter Rafeiner
When are producers of geologic movies going to understand that having scientists speak on- camera about all the "awesome, cool" aspects of earth science is BORING.When are said producers going to understand that all that animation is pointless if it's not explained correctly and visually?AND - when is the entire video/geology community finally going to get past the idea that an asteroid is responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs???"Faces of Earth" is a classic case of what happens when producers have too much money but too little insight into the subject they are presenting.This subject matter can be very compelling when presented in the right way - but - so far - NO ONE HAS GOTTEN IT RIGHT.
