At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

... View Morethis looked AMAZING... I was watching this in the hopes of getting a good grasp on protein synthesis and DNA/RNA replication... I was watching it with intrigue (just skipping through to animations and explanations).... I got to thinking THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED.... and then POW!!!!! it tries to say that the only logical explanation for DNA to exist is intelligent design... no wonder I've never heard of any of the scientists in this film... complete tripe.BASICALLY this film says "since we can't figure out a scientific and empirically devised reason for life's origin, it must have been Intelligent Design" -my words.... preposterous!! you can't explain something logically... so you decided to explain it with complete lack of logic... it's in effect the lazy mans way of explaining something.COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNSCIENTIFIC, but hey, some neat animations...
... View MoreNothing in this video is scientifically valid in the slightest, which is why none of the proponents of 'Intelligent Design' have ever had an article published in a peer-reviewed journal on the subject. ID just doesn't stand up to close scientific scrutiny. Much of what is said by people like Behe in this video had already been thoroughly refuted by science long before this video was made. The reason you will never hear about any of this from ID proponents is because they don't follow the progress of science. When confronted with dozens of papers that refute his work at the Dover Trial (where ID was shot down)Michael Behe admitted that he'd never seen any of it and had to adjourn the court so he could read them. They defend ID as religiously as they defended creationism back in the 80's. It's just simply pseudo-scientific garbage. This 'movie' is absolute trash.
... View MoreExcellent! That is if you enjoy filling young impressionable minds with lies and logical fallacies! Get this film if you want to learn how to lie to the mass public. On a more serious note. If you really want to learn something go to your local library and pick up a biology book and flip to the evolution by natural selection section. This will provide you with real facts. Creation or ID as the liars would like you to think it's named, has no (read it, Zero) supporting facts. What wonderful world we live in where evangelical fundamentals from American can spread their crap to other countries with such ease. Go lie to yourselves instead of to innocent children.
... View MoreExcellent source of information for the theory of intelligent design (ID). The video provides clear and easy to understand arguments for ID and points out the gaps in evolutionary theory that cannot account for the origin-of-life on earth. The video includes interviews with leading scientists and scholars from various fields of expertise. The video also provides some historical information about Charles Darwin and his journey on the HMS Beagle. It is packed with beautiful scenes of wildlife that make it entertaining as well as educational. The bonus features include a question and answer section, library references, web links, and biographical sketches about each scientist/scholar. This is a must have for all of those who are interested the origin-of-life argument and those that declare to follow the evidence wherever it leads. I would strongly recommend this for all adults and students at the high school level and above.
