Pretty Good

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.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I live in a major city. My tap water sometimes has unacceptable levels of fecal coliforms so they add so much chlorine when i take a shower my throat burns. Research the epidemic of prescription meds in tap water, municipalities are not equipped to remove them. I agree there are problems but trying to demonize everyone won't truly solve problems. Wish you had done more balanced report. In one part they claim water is shipped out of state then when they criticize FDA they say most of the water stays in state. They don't discuss job creation and local economic concerns. Also if this is such a huge industry, there is a need being met. My tap doesn't exist 3 hours from home and I'm not carrying a day's water supply on my back everywhere I go. No alternatives were presented.

Now it's not that film is anything great it just presents a lot of facts that you would think most people would already know about. I have probably bought bottled water maybe a dozen times in my entire life. It was only when there was no other option to get any other sort of water or I needed a bottle to fill up w/ god forbid tap water! I cannot understand for the life of me why Bottled water is a business at all. It is after all nothing more than a giant scam. It simply amazes me that this is a $10 billion dollar or more industry. How is this possible? There is a great "Penn & Teller Bull-Sh*t" that proves just what a joke it really is. They test a bunch of people drinking bottled waters against regular ol' tap water & guess what 8/10 of them went for the tap water! The thing that will upset you the most is the way the "Nestle" company continued to bottle water in Maine, while they are in the middle of a drought! So basically these people all had to ration there water so that "Nestle" could continue to bottle their water. Now I understand to a certain extent the companies side too, because it's a huge boon to them considering they are upping the price by 9,999% so it's an obvious cash cow. Plus you have to imagine even if it is a joke people are buying it & it must help w/jobs & w/the local economy too. Overall it seems really stupid, but there are good arguments on both sides of the fence.

Some time ago I had a constructive debate with my sister, who is just finishing her bio-genetic study with straight 10's if I may add, on the topic of tapped and bottled water. She was the first person to made me think over this and frighteningly also their tests of PET bottles as well as other EU countries showed the same result as we can see in the documentary. Its bad enough that we all know the excessive use of plastic which is an oil bye product is ruining our natural habitat and our living environment, but its also affecting our health since the corporations care for profits over our health and preserving nature. If you disagree hard with this documentary, than, I guess its time to open your eyes and stop thinking narrow minded as the earth is not here just so this extremely greedy generation could rape her all over again.Documentary mostly focuses on the USA tapped water, but since the industry is driven by world corporations its still a good example probably what's happening all over. And since the USA have (by my opinion) one of the most corruptible government / corporation relationship its a good example what could be there for us all in near future if people will not start thinking a bit "out of the box". And I would not agree with some of the comments that says the documentary is biased. If you watch it carefully, you will see there are quite some interviews or inserts that shows how unregulated this business really is.Most recommended for ALL viewers and ages. 10/10

When I first came across this film on IMDb I was 90% sure it was going to be another biased documentary which was rated highly because of people agreeing with the position they took. But after reading the reviews that swore it was very unbiased and well-made I decided to watch it with interest.After viewing the first 10 minutes I could tell the reviews were absolutely wrong. This film is probably as biased as you could possibly get. Throughout the rest of the film one side is shown and the other constantly demonized.If you like to view both sides of an argument avoid this rubbish.
