Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
TruthAgent This is a nice movie, pleasant for the eyes, but that is about it. It is not a documentary. Yes, the extinction is an issue, no doubt about it. Mentality of humans is a problem.The movie presents plenty of fairly invalid points, so I will just pick one that is stunningly stupid. The bad fishermen who are living their houses in huts, hunting with bare hand, using wooden boats, consuming nearly no resources at all should be overshadowed by good guys, who are regularly flying around the planet in planes, buying the most advanced technology, spending tons of dollars each year, using all the resources there is? I do not really thing so!Do you want to save the planet? Good! Stop buying stuff, use less, that is the way! And please, do think!
christiank7 This is the height of liberal greenie madness. I am so sorry to tell you that even you are a member of that "MAN" species that you are blaming for the so called extinction. I have a question for you morons? How do you know that nature did not make man to do exactly this? Maybe we are meant to kill off these species so that the future man machine species takes over. How dare you suggest that we should leave the planet so that ants can continue or some such animal. I could care less about any species that dies off. Who cares! It is only important if my species survives and that may be something you have not considered if you support this idiotic production. Thank god that people like the ones that made this are not running the world. If 90% of all the species die and we do not then that is just fine by me!
lenartand Obviusly many have been fooled by the eco-terrorists that made this movie, it's similar to the movie cowspiracy that claims global warming is caused by cow farts. It is probably no global warming but global cooling and a new ice age. They say they care about whales and sharks, but for some reason they don't mention that sharks eat whales alive. Those that makes this sort of movies want us to become vegetarians they say, but eating only insects are more climate smart. Stockolm in Sweden plan to produce all their food themselves: In the year 2050 it is estimated that the Earth will be populated by 9 billion people and a question that is raised is how a sustainable food-production that produces enough for everyone, without posing additional stress on the environment can be designed. A solution is to find an alternative to meat production, and one such protein source is insects. There are approximately 1900 edible species of insects, and 2 billion of the world's population already eat insects today. Protein production from insects is much more efficient than meat production, for example, 10 kg fodder is needed to produce 1 kg of beef, but the same amount of fodder can produce 9 kg of insects.
The Couchpotatoes This should be a mandatory documentary in schools or on television. Everybody should be obliged to watch Racing Extinction. Not tomorrow but today. Even though I think it is already too late. Not that we could not change everything if everybody would act and think rationally. But that's the problem of our planet. Most people are driven by greed, possession, having everything as fast as possible, mass consumption etc... Nobody seems to care what the future will be for their children. I have none, and will never have any, but I'm still concerned about what we are doing to our planet. We humans are the parasite of the Earth. It could be reversed but I honestly have not much hope. Anyways, watch this, it's sometimes beautiful, sometimes very hard, but it's the truth. I cried like almost a third of the documentary, but it was worth watching it. I can only recommend this highly!
