What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
... View MoreThis is a decent documentary movie describif what could have happened if all people were gone. The idea is not new, truly so, but this is a very exciting and really chilling sensatio to see what will happen after. The film is okay, pacing is good, and the commentaries are useful, but then, there sre two serious drawbacks which hamper and hinder the whole thing - first, rather poorly executed and naive CGI that make it look childish and rather...well...funny, and second, the ending section seems to be rushed and thus a bit bland, as we expected more and deeper and better. All in all, a nice try, full of great inights into chiiling reality of men gone off.
... View MoreI don't care what anyone says about not liking this program I feel it's one of the more original programs to come out of the History Channel in a long time. And now all new shows of Life After People starts 1/5/10. It is fascinating to see what would happen to our cities and beloved landmarks once people where no longer on the planet to tend to them. How fast nature would re-claim what is hers. Not only do they show what would happened to such places and things as New York, London, The Golden gate Bridge and GM's Head Quarters but they also show examples of places already in decline on the planet because people are not there to look after it. An example is parts of Detroit that is completely void of humans and we are shown buildings crumbling after just a few short decades. Also what is interesting is the environment in which the city is in would determine how fast it would completely vanish. For example, New York would be gone long before Las Vegas being that Vegas is in more of a dry climate. I would like to see more of environmental damage being covered on this program and how it might affect change after humans are gone. But in any case a very smart enjoyable program that I highly recommend.
... View MoreThis 'documentary' manages to string out 2 or 3 one-sentence ideas into an hour and a half of irksome and repetitive tedium. The same low budget animations are rolled out time and time again. And then again. If a building crashes into the ground for the fifth time in one programme are the audience supposed to care? What will life be like after people? It'll be beautiful rolling landscapes with lush green fields, animals running around with gay abandon and virtually no sign of our existence in next to no time at all. Things will fall over. Green stuff will grow. The bottom line though is that it doesn't really matter cos none of us will be there to see it.The best news that comes out of this documentary is that DVDs won't last forever so any aliens stumbling across the remnants of our civilization won't be subjected to the kind of TV-opiate trash like this that is supposed to pass as entertainment.
... View MoreThis would have been very interesting if it wasn't for the flashing images, CLOSE closeups on old dolls amongst other things, the over dramatic narrator and music. I want facts, images which i can see something, and not 80% about USA, this is not a documentary it's infotainment. The problem with that is that there is more entertainment than information, though what is so entertaining about blurry images every two seconds? Why are these so called documentaries made? It is not for giving people interesting facts that's for sure. I'm disappointed. More and more of these crappy infotainments are made and it keeps out the interesting parts all it shows me is closeups of trees, windows, roads, birds, office buildings, flowers etc.
