Sick Product of a Sick System

Redundant and unnecessary.

Pretty Good

I wanted to but couldn't!

I was getting the speakers in my car upgraded when the salesman showed me their new HD TVs and the super speaker systems. He used LOTR to demonstrate how you hear the smallest sounds. I wish he would have used this film. I would have bought a system right away. Even on my normal TV with build in stereo the sights and sounds were nothing short of spectacular.I am not just talking about the music, which was incredibly beautiful, but the sounds of the life forms in the film. They really enhanced the small creatures with close up camera work and realistic sound. Looking at a lizard, you could imagine a dinosaur with any effort at all.Anyone who watched the Discovery Channel on occasion, especially if you have been watch Planet earth - and I hope you have - has seen some incredible things, but I have not seen anything as incredible as this.We science geeks know that the atoms in Hitler or Ghengis Khan could be floating around in our bodies right now, but anyone will enjoy seeing the story of life and death with all the drama and excitement that this film has.If you get Showtime (I don't) then tune in as it is currently playing.

a simple story ties together beautifully-filmed vignettes about birth, life, love, battle and death. shot in iceland, madagascar, the galapagos islands and in the producers' own labs, the film features spectacular and surprising detail about nearly-prehistoric animals.this film is suitable for young children wanting to learn about life, as well as for adults looking for visual proof of natural diversity. I enjoyed it greatly for its colour, its details and the stunning actions that it depicts. I will never look at a rattlesnake quite the same way again...

Just like the Director did some ago in Microcosmos. This is a project in which we can see the advances of film-making, the one that can show us images that we had never seen before. Amazing! Beautiful! This film is not for any public. If you are a blockbuster addict, don't even think about watching it.Even though I don't speak French and I watched without subtitles, I enjoyed every single and beautiful image. From the crystallization of Vitamin C through and electronic microscope, to the sea horses love dance, from the amazing life of the walking fish to the love parakeets, from the beautiful dance of Jellyfish to the lava rivers, every single image is filled with color, life, joy and some kind of mystery.Julio Acosta

This film boldly undertakes to tell the story of life from the Big Bang to the variety of species that we know today. And the history lesson becomes a fairy tale.Genesis asks that you leave aside everything you know about yourself, and think of your body as the substance that makes up the universe, your life as the energy that sparkled up the Big Bang, your projects as a shape, a limited space of organized chaos, resisting the deterioration of time.The film is breath-taking and captivating from the opening sequence to the last shot. Every image of the film is carefully selected and placed in a sequence: swirling dirt becomes a galaxy; rings of water float on the sound of the mating dance. The technological prowess of the filming is staggering, but does not surpass the ingenuity of the editing, and camera movements: shot in his apparent loneliness, the insect looks like a genius, solving obstacles one after the other. Human meaning is attached to all images shown, from the fish pretending to be daydreaming while baiting its prey, to the crawling crab signaling to a rival. The story of the earth is told by the reality of those jungles and tropical beaches, that we know so little about: swimming frogs start to hop; the giant tortoise becomes a dinosaur.If you think this is going to be some kind of Discovery Channel show, think again and surprise yourself.
