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 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 MoreThe Future is Wild is awesome! It's about the future when humans have to flee Earth due to hostile conditions, and in the beginning, we send down a probe to check things out for us back on Earth, and the show contains information about the animals that can be found 5, 100, and 200 million years into the future.Some animals that are 5 million years into the future are Carakillas, descending from types flightless birds, birds of prey, and storks, and Babookaris, descending from primates.100 million years: Reef Gliders, descending from squids and slugs, and Toratons, descending from rhinos, elephants and tortoises.200 million years: Sharkopaths, descending from sharks (including the great white) and Megasquids, descending from giant squids and octopus.

The series has the same basic theme as his book After Man; what will animals be like far in the future? The series looks at three time periods, each in which life is given a different challenge. 5 million years from now, and the Earth is in the grip of a new ice age. 100 million years from now, and it's the opposite, the whole world is very hot and wet. My favorite part is 200 million years from now, in which a mass extinction has wiped out all familiar forms of life. I don't want to give away too much about the creatures that inhabit these future worlds. Go see it for yourself, because If this show is in any way correct in its speculation, the future is truly going to be wild!
