This film holds great value with how it can make us be present in life's little moments, cutting out a slice of life that we hold dear, and really think about what we love on this planet--by the memories we cherish most. As some of the reviews allude, it has a side to it that could be interpreted as if there's bleak intention as to where the human race may wind up in the future; this movie can either be inspiring or depressing, depending on your own perspective and where you choose to take it . . . sort of in the way that a masterpiece affects different people. As a TV producer, I'm not discrediting its effective merit by saying I felt that in the short time of this documentary, there could have been excerpts that had gone deeper and been even more contextually contrasting and dynamic--going further to elicit the human spirit and touch the human soul even more.

EMIC IS BUILT UPON A DISEMPOWERING PREMISE. "The earth is going to dissapear at some point, eventually?" WTF? For those who decide to leave earth, goodbye! you are the cause of things not working on earth now, you think earth is going to die and because of your fear you start exploiting it to create an escape plan instead of investing on the harnessing of the potential of the truly complete being and system it really is. Earth is a living being not a dead object, we are part of it´s system. Earth will stay whole forever. Your fear is what is driving the earth to an end in your OWN state of consciousness. Carry on but stop using resources that are generating disruption on the balance of earth. Earth is our home and it is from here that we may evolve into higher beings, explore the universe and so on. The potentials of earth and our bodies outweigh any kind of advanced technology any industrial complex in the galaxy may come up with. Invest your time in awakening earth's power, our human power. If not please pack up and leave, wish you the best! Did not even watch the movie, for me it is just based on a total human dis-empowering premise I am not part of and do not support.

Not good Thought this would be better. Don't understand all the rave reviews. It reminded me of a tv commercial.

Who knows? I think the film actually portray a positive outlook for us human. Obviously it sad to contemplate an end to human existence on planet earth. However, as it is pointed out every day bring new meaning and memories which provide an even deeper understanding of our reason for living. Generations before us have inhabited the earth with different experiences and they have either contributed to making our lives better or worse depending on how you perceive it. Probably there will never be another earth and our lives only ends when we transition from the land of the living to that of the dead!!!

Interesting but Bleak View of the Future I found this film interesting for its portrayal of the diversity and variety on this planet, but its view of the future is bleak and hopeless. The glory of humanity is not in itself but in the Creator who made us in his image. Hope for the future lies not ultimately in us but in the One who will make all things new. Read the book of Revelation and realize that there is an appointed end of this earth. It has to do with Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, whose kingdom is coming.

The world is created by Jehovah, and all things in it. There are many great things to experience that you can never take in all the awe, for there are more then you could ever imagine! The best one's are outside in wide open space's. The animal's are to be cared for by us! Human being's are the greatest of all these creation's, us! We must care for one another as we would want to be cared for ourselves. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Remember Jehovah, is watching always!
