Memorable, crazy movie

Absolutely Fantastic

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I can't understand why so many people were irked by this mermaid series. This is part two in the series and it's very interesting with good animation too. For the people who didn't like it because it was pseudo, guess what? Mermaids aren't real!

You have to ask yourself why and how someone would fund such a contemptuous piece of rubbish? Seriously, why would anyone actually want to spend any time making this? Personally, those responsible should be horsewhipped or made drink their favourite sugary drink laced with LSD just so they understand when and when not to cry wolf. Sad, middle class twats laughing at their middle class parties toasting their fanny award and thinking what childish spoof they can get away with next. Sad c@@ts. Glad I'm not paying for this sh@t!In fact, In the words of the great Bill Hicks, go kill yourselves you f@@@in waste of space.

Is discussing a fraud equivalent to "Spoiler" for the purpose of this comment?For years I have respected and enjoyed both the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet which are related corporately.A long time friend of mine made a genuine documentary that aired on the Discovery Channel in the first year that it was on air.I have a university education in Biology studying wildlife but I work in the transportation industry now because I don't have a MS or Ph.d but I do understand genetics, organic chemistry, calculus, evolution, ecology and I'm not all that gullible usually. But because of the presentation, I was completely fooled by some of the video footage simply because of the excellent and decent reputation of the discovery channel/animal planet. I was questioning why everyone was "Doctor." Even PhD. doctors sometimes don't even go by Dr. and there was too much emphasis on them and looking at the camera. They did seem a little like actors and not real people like you and I. But that's not my point. What was Discovery trying to do with this crap? Ruin their reputation for good programing?This was a very poor decision by Discovery/Animal Planet to present this program and stage fake interviews of fake Ph.d scientists that don't exist and fake their background with NOAA. And blackscreen a fake former Navy guy. Totally inexcusable to do this. They should have made a movie with Scientists getting arrested in South Africa or the Navy loading up the Washington creature and flying it to South Carolina. But this was just wrong.What comes to mind is the Orson Wells, War of the Worlds radio broadcast before our time. That caused a lot of fear and panic. I'll never watch a program on their channels again with the same enthusiasm or appreciation as I had before. Very disturbing.

This film is along the lines of Animal Planet's earlier mockumentary "Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real." Those who enjoyed the Dragons film will enjoy this one most likely.Animal planet utilizes actors to tell a hypothetical story on a possible path of human evolution, centering around the aquatic ape theory. They throw in bits of unsolved history, such as the Bloop, with hypothetical theory that is still studied in some scientific circles today. One only needs to watch Elaine Morgan's TED talk on aquatic ape theory to see that it is still something talked about, all be it in small numbers, today.The "average" viewer will most likely not enjoy this film, for they're most likely to take it far more literal than what was intended. Watching it with an open mind is also not strongly advised, but rather watch it for what it is: a fun mockumentary that plays with the most fundamental of scientific and philosophical principals: Question everything.
