I never totally and wholeheartedly disagreed with the negative reviews before - usually everyone is entitled to their own subjective opinions about movies/shows - but not in this case.I do agree that the show may not have offered the latest information about the specific subjects it talked about, but that is because it was not mean to - it is not a TED talk. You can go watch these if that's what you're looking for. This show had a different purpose. From the first episode it was clear they wanted to highlight a few points. That: 1- life on earth is very complex, very diverse, and interconnected, 2- there is very little chance of complex life existing in other places, or us finding it, or it finding us, 3- if we as a species are to survive then we need to find ways to move away from earth.I really liked that they gave me a different perspective about things. For example I knew that as humans each of us has more bacteria cells in us than human cells, that's not knew. I also knew that if we are to find a habitable planet we are most likely to build a generational ship because it will take hundreds, possibly thousands of years to get there. But I never connected both points to realize that we will need to get bacteria as a stowaway on this journey because we need it and it needs us. Which means the ship needs to be able to sustain bacteria (unlike current space ships) otherwise we will not the same humans we are now (humans less bacteria) and it will need to sustain other life as well including animals, not because we need to eat them but rather that they need to eat each other.The main reason for the show was not meant to be about education but rather what are we going to do about the knowledge we have. I am sure it will inspire a lot of people to go and look for ways to help humans survive and escape this planet. And for anyone who did not see that I suggest to rematch.

Don't get me wrong, I love what they did with the series but copy-pasting information from documentaries that were on Discovery and Discovery Science for the past 15 years or so and just applying nice graphics is not going to impress most of us. It's nice to watch but very poor on it's writing and script. Now I understand why none of the other more mundane actors such as Morgan Freeman did not take part in this!

I have realize how amazingly our planet earth maintains a perfect balance between every things in it, ......... How earth is taking care of us even though we are destroying it .........

I don't do reviews much apart from ratings but this one got me down to write one just to say that it doesn't deserve a miss. Never seen a documentary this visually stunning and thrilling before. Just witness it.
