It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

everyone should watch this film as it shows how critically extinct some of the animals were while some species were really extinct, many animals came ahead of us but we kill them like they were just nothing, a very sad and beautiful documentary, hope everyone could watch this and share this so that all of us could be educated by how critically endangered and important animal species were"Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness" - John F. Kennedy

Serious questions were exposed in this documentary, even if they are already known, but two most important one wasn't even made: Do we need to be saved? Are we even trying hard for it? All the questions made on it about our seemingly inevitable extinction, has two common factors: money and humanity. What we do about it? Never seen documented.The movie is pretty linear and simple, with some groups of activists and they defend different causes in order to one objective in common: a belief that what they do will save mankind. And we travel with them through their works on trying that. The locations and some images are fantastic, with an okay cinematography but a poor editing, IMHO.Don't get me wrong, I believe in their work. The cruelty with the animals is insane, and it shames me to think we're capable of that (and even more). They do a very good job in the demonization of great companies and the ordinary fisherman who's trying to feed their family, but the message is passed like a religion: "Look what we are doing? Be ashamed of it, hate yourself and get sick of you. But if you want to save this, it'll save mankind, because what we are doing is the way to do it".I think it's incredible how they make us empathize not only with their cause, but with the animals and specially, the mother nature. Some of them die for the cause, they really believe on it, and it's inspiring. We feel earth's loneliness, pain, despair, anger, sadness. All of this through their words and their emotions, with a very nice work on the soundtrack. But this show, to me, what I think it's a bad thing: some of them look unable to connect with human beings. They just can't.There are heroes doing an undercover job for the ones who are lazy or don't brave enough to risk everything for it. And they are doing an important job. They are trying to correct things the humanity choose, trying to save us from an almost imminent ending. And they can be right, but they need to remember two questions: Do we need to be saved? Are we even trying hard for it?

Racing extinction is a documentary about how, human interference have directly or indirectly eliminated most of the species in recent years. It describes at this pace we will be eliminating 50% of the known species by 2050.The documentary presents us with options how we can deal with this. It shows how mindset of people can be influenced for good and right. It gives us the message of lighting a candle instead cursing the darkness. At the end it is shown how pictures or a film can prove out beneficial in making the role of human to realize their responsibility.Change is always resisted. People don't like change. We may be fault at many things, but it's never too late to correct ourselves and in this case, it is high time!

As we race headlong into our 6th Extinction, we delude ourselves into thinking there's something we can do about it. Kyaktivists are already patting themselves on the back for having "done their part" to keep the Oilygarchy from drilling in the Arctic. Unfortunately, as well-intentioned and as laudable their efforts might be, it's all too little, too late. The REAL reason the Oilygarchy gave up on the notion of drilling for oil in the Arctic was this: as RACING EXTINCTION clearly shows, there's enough Methane frozen in the ice to wipe Mankind off the face of the Earth FOREVER. We see a block of ice being excavated and, within it, a veritable Diorama of Death: Frozen Methane gas (ironically enough, looking not unlike the kind of mushroom cloud one sees when an Atomic Bomb is detonated). Knowing that drilling will unleash enough Methane to kill all Life on this planet, the Oilygarchs backed off- but the Russians HAVEN'T: they fully intend to drill in the Arctic. Of course, it's possible they may decide NOT to drill there... but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...
