This is an interesting program. I've never seen anything quite like it, but I like it. The best thing about this program is that it provides a look into the future of our planet in a way that is both creative and realistic. The show and featured scientists give reasonable scientific explanations for all of the weird fictional creatures that appear, and their abilities. It honestly makes me sad that I will never get to see if this show was right or not. However, this program is not perfect. There are some things I do not like. First of all, the creature animations are constantly reused over and over, and it becomes annoying. Also, the CGI doesn't always blend well with the photo-realistic environments, making it look fake. Despite that, this is very unique and interesting fake documentary, that not enough people have seen and need to see. It provides an intriguing look into what our planet may look like from 5-200 million years from now. I highly recommend it.
... View MoreThis without a doubt one of the most interesting premises in a documentary and the team of scientists, designers and animators did a splendid job in order to create these creatures.Apart from the first episode which just a quick summary of watch this series is about, the rest of the episodes are quit well made, with each of the giving us a different environment and creatures which inhabit and what they did in order to survive in that conditions and of course different animals and some plants to. If I had an issue with the series it would be that is showing a bit of a limited number of creatures per episode, whoever this only a small complain and in truth if they were more it may was difficult to follow the documentary.As for the designs there-selves as we go further and further in to the future they become even more alien to our eyes and bizarre to the point that they seem more some from science fiction ,but if you look around then these adaptations make total sense and it a testament to the work that was put in here.Over all there aren't many documentaries that try to think how would the animals and plants be in the coming ages and this is by far the most well known and perhaps the best example of speculation done right.
... View MoreThis was an okay series, with very good CGI and a interesting premise, but that's all.It is about the animals of the future, that for some reason, look like they were aliens, or the aliens of Planet Pandora in "Avatar".The CGI was incredible, but I liked more "Alien Planet", because I love anything related with aliens and lifeforms of different places in the universe.However, this wasn't bad, actually it was pretty interesting and had some amusing moments.This show was okay. It was better than "Walking with Dinosaurs", but not so good as "Alien Planet".
... View MoreThis is an educational series telling the history of life on earth as it might be based on what scientists know of past history.Told like one of the better nature programs with a view to speculating on the future. The creatures are imaginative and well explained. Each of them is presented as a potential descendant of today's species and how they came about. Biology, geography and environmental conditions are scientifically evolved by extending what we know of the past into the distant future. And this is all set to life with the use of some of the most incredible computer generated animations yet All of this makes the presentation lifelike and believable.
