Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-07-03  
very good but national geographic film is better
Very good, but not as thorough as the National Geographic version - Aftermath: Population Zero. For those who are detail-oriented, you're better off with the National Geographic one. |  | Reviewed on 2008-07-03
Loved it
Now this was interesting.
Some of the stuff that went into this film is absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this to anyone who's interested in helping the environment, looking after the planet, or who is just bored and wants to watch something with a bit of depth to it for a change.
Though the graphics aren't fantastic fantastic, they're pretty good - at least one fantastic, and even if it gets a little repetitive towards the end - the information is what this move was made for - and it certainly delivers
For anyone even thinking of buying it - do so.
It definitely worth the watch.
Happy viewing. | | Reviewed on 2008-07-02
All We Are Is Dust In the Wind
Just when we might begin to think that our human footprint on planet earth is indelible, along comes "Life After People." Through computer graphics and real events the viewer is left with little doubt that as soon as the human race departs, the natural world begins to take over. In a millenium, the great bridges, buildings and other edifices of man will all be gone save perhaps the pyramids, Mount Rushmore and Hoover Dam.
Overall, a well done and unsettling documentary. Except of course, if you are one of the scientists who was interviewed in the documentary. Did I detect a certain joy coming through his comments at the idea that earth might be better off without humans? Interesting indeed. | | Reviewed on 2008-06-09
It's pretty much my favorite ever.
It's the best. I recorded it on my DVR and watched it five times in just as many days. Then I asked for it for my birthday and I invite people over just to watch it. It's gorgeous and profound. Although I do agree that there are some things that need to be addressed and so on, and it would be interesting to know the scenarios in which people would die off (but that's really not the point of it, the point is what happens to the Earth, not to us. I think that should be saved for a different documentary).
I give it five stars and a high five. It's great. | | Reviewed on 2008-05-26
Poor Doggies
Life After People entertained for awhile, but after awhile it just didn't matter. 20 minutes into the film we got the idea. My kids felt bad about the fate of the pets, animals, and especially the dogs. They didn't believe Earth could ever be depopulated; they said there will always be people on Earth because we reproduce like crazy.
I felt the video needed to start with some reason for the total absence of human life. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened to the bodies. The animals feasting on human bodies would be gruesome, but kids like gore. Under what conidtions would only humanity die off? It is the kind of story you can start anywhere. Regardless, I'm glad I bought the video. | |
