It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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.

As I grow older, I obsess over politics, religion and money. I often wonder why, we as humans have created such a fear based society and continue to force it on every culture that differs from our own. Is there a god or can we only depend on ourselves just to live a life of chasing a way to make a living in this world without allowing ourselves to be happy along the way. Has it always been this way? It often seems to me that man is the only living organism in the universe that is hell bent on destroying itself and everything else along with it. The movie starts out showing how amazing life is and how it progressed over millions of years. And although it equates it to evolution it could just as easily likened it to a creation based dialog.The amazing part of this movie is how it shows nature and the contrast of man's natural tendencies to organize everything in our lives. The need to have everything under our control to the point of changing natures way of progress that has lasted what seems forever. Technology, politics and money has given man the ability to control everything except it seems our own destruction.Can we save us from ourselves? Is it too late? YOU Decide!

'Terra' is both beautiful and haunting. It begins with the image of colobus monkeys enjoying their rainforest home. This is soon contrasted with some confused, displaced ones in a tea field.The first half of the film is largely about our animal neighbours and distant relatives. The second half takes more aim at humans, identifying ways we impact upon our environment and harm it.The goal of the movie is clear – to make you think about your own ethics, behaviour and sometimes hypocrisy. It certainly ticks this box and contrasts some amazing scenery and spectacular wildlife shots with ones of suffering. You are made to feel a lot of empathy for all of the animals included.The narration works, the soundtrack is complimentary rather than intrusive, and you will probably learn something. My only minor gripes are that it perhaps gets a little too preachy, and could have highlighted some exploited but often ignored species (eg pangolins).Altogether, if you enjoy nature, wildlife and/or movies which makes you think, this is certainly worth 97 minutes of your time.
