Summary: In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. By bringing us unique footage from over fifty countries, Arthus-Bertrand lays a foundation stone for the edifice that we must rebuild.
Earth is a miracle and its faith is in our hands. Very reminiscent of "Koyaanisqatsi", though more informative. Some of its images are startling but also beautiful to look at. A moving yet disheartening experience, because one walks away knowing it's impossible to change mankind's ongoing behaviour. evrana's review is ridiculous.
Better as a source of information than a visual film. You won't find anything new if you have seen "Inconvenient Truth" or simply like to keep yourself informed and found out about it from somewhere else. And if you want beautiful images of nature, pick up "Earth" of "Baraka". But hopefully it will reach the people living in their small boxes, who simply don't know the problems humanity is having, and it do some good raising awareness.
It has great imagery alright, but it als has an awful narrative. Besides it is pretty indulgent for a movie that preaches moderation; were those helicopters running on solar panels??
Remarkably and massively contradictory. The aerial cinematography is perhaps the most breathtaking of its kind. The alarmist character of the narration does not make it any less alarming, although at times claims are thrown at the audience in somewhat cavalier fashion. But "capitalism" and "consumerism" are words absent from this narration, a fact which begs certain questions. Cf., this critical comparison of "Home" and "Koyaanisqatsi" (in French): http://www.critikat.com/Home-Koyaanisqatsi.html
The Human Factor. Great construction shows you what happened on Earth before, what's beautiful in here, and then it shows how much we developed Earth, we changed Earth, we tarnished Earth. And then, it shows, that there's still hope. Clear "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" reference. Very good document.
The images shown in Home are breathtaking, and when you think of how we are screwing up this immense beauty all around us, the rather obvious moral agenda doesn%u2019t disturb one bit. Home functions a thousand times better than the Al Gore lecture a few years ago. Just think of how this film could work as a documentary for the aliens a 100 or a 1000 years from now, learning about how we humans had all the tools and all the intelligence in the world and still managed to f* it all up.
Absolutely gorgeous images, not only of nature but some beatiful shots of cities and technologies too. There too much talk in this film, too much information to keep track of, but really the images speak for themselves; it's a wonderful, ambitious project. Also one of greatest things here is the "twist" by the end where they actually offer a shred of hope and intelligence rather than to end on a pessimistic tone continuing bitching about the manmade apocalypse.
Ich hätte mir mehr Informationen gewünscht. Die visuellen Eindrücke sind zwar toll, aber die Informationen kommen zu kurz, dadurch langweilt der Film schnell.
Good visuals and a nice lead-in, nice ending, but everything in between was kind of worthless. The entire movie the only thing I could think was: "tell me something I don't already know"
Would have done far better with a subtle narrative. "There is this and that, hey now see what you have done with it you slime, get yourself together" approach hijacks the thinking abililty of viewer. Some of the uber wideshots surpass Quatsi trilogy, Baraka and the kind if we had room to breathe in. I wonder the budget of this gargantuan.
