The movie gives beautiful aerial views of the planet to give a visual on the beauty of Earth and also the impact of human beings. The aerial views makes one really notice how beautiful Earth is as our HOME. It is hard to comprehend how beautiful the Earth is even though parts of it are being negatively impacted by us. The movie provides a background and explanation of how everything in nature is interlinked in the hopes of convincing any skeptic or doubter about the impacts of humanity. While the movie highlights the already present dangers of the impact of humans, it offers some hope in reversing these effects. The combination of the aerial views and the tone of the narrator are almost meant to scare the viewer in the hopes of motivating viewers to act on stopping the negative impacts on the Earth by people. Just as technology is constantly evolving, human care of the world's ecosystem must evolve. The combination of efficient use of our resources and reducing our impact should restore the balance now lost. Movie should be seen all as it provides a wake up call with visuals.

I think that my personal title of this review captures the documentary at its best: "Astonishing". But that is of course a very opinion based way to capture the documentary.What is not opinion based are the facts shown in the documentary. It shows our earth like many of us have not seen it before. And most of us know that we are depleting our earth in a concerning way, but the facts shown in the documentary still came as a shock to me.It should be mandatory for every human being on earth to watch this documentary. Especially for the ones that are most responsible for the growing disappearance of our resources.I personally think it is time for change. And change starts when you are aware of the sad state that our world is in. That is why this is a good documentary. Because it makes you aware of the situation!

I can't think of the last time a film inspired me to watch it four, five, six…I don't know how many times. The images and the message in "Home" are that compelling.With dazzling photography that seems taken from a balloon wafting around the world, above the hurly-burly of homo sapiens ("wise human"), this film chronicles the history of life on Earth and man's threat to this miracle.We see glimpses of places like Iceland, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Palm Springs, Borneo, Haiti, Easter Island, Greenland, and Mount Kilamanjaro. And we come away extremely concerned about how our profligacy threatens man's ability to inhabit the planet.I caught this incredible film on the TV channel of the City University of New York, which ran the credits in such minuscule script that I could not tell who did the mesmerizing voice-over and the enchanting music. Both were superb. So often I was reminded of Coppola's film about the Earth, the little-known movie whose title is something like "Koyanaskquotsee." The only complaint I have about this compelling work is that far too few scenes were identified by country. I wanted to know where these magnificent panoramas could be found. In addition, the filmmakers made the egregious error of stating that the Grand Canyon is in Colorado. Even my 8-year-old (who also was dazzled by this film) found this statement ludicrous! We are told at the end of this movie that we can help by visiting goodplanet.org. I'd like to try to follow up. It seems the least I can do. I learned a lot from "Home"; I just hope I remember it, and I hope I treat the planet with more care as a result.

This one took my breathe away, made me cry even. It was enlightening, spiritual and entertaining, all at the same time. IMHO it trumps the best blockbuster that Hollywood can ever produce. It's main actor, this tiny blue planet we call Mother Earth. It gave me a glimpse of earth like I've never seen before. The imagery is stunning and awe-inspiring. Just when you think they've run out of the best footage, you get to feast your eyes on something better. The soundtrack is amazing too and the narrator Gless Close does an exceptional job. All in all, this gem of a documentary puts a lot of things into perspective. It made a lasting impression on me...and I only wish every single human being on earth can watch it.
