Rating  - Life After People
I enjoyed this video very much. It helps put in perspective how insignificant humankind's contributions to the global ecosystem really are. It appears that even with all of our "detrimental" impact on the world's atmosphere, the planet will find a way to continue on without us. It gives creedence to both Psalm 78:69 and to George Carlin (who says the planet is just fine). People will go away and within five years nature will be taking over what we created.
I also couldn't help but think of the contribution of my own profession, building operational maintenance. Senior management always wants to defer maintenance. Well here is a classic case of what can happen if maintenance is pushed back too far. Things fall apart, duh.
Anyway, this was an entertaining video with some good graphics and some interesting hypotheses. If feral cats want to occupy former high rises, then learn how to glide (flying cats ala flying squirrels) that seems plausible. Since we have a real life abandoned city in the Ukraine to show how nature can reclaim cities, some of what was shown is not merely specualtion and guessing.
Rating  - very good but national geographic film is better
Very good, but not as thorough as the National Geographic version - Aftermath: Population Zero. For those who are detail-oriented, you're better off with the National Geographic one.
Rating - Loved it
Now this was interesting.
Some of the stuff that went into this film is absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this to anyone who's interested in helping the environment, looking after the planet, or who is just bored and wants to watch something with a bit of depth to it for a change.
Though the graphics aren't fantastic fantastic, they're pretty good - at least one fantastic, and even if it gets a little repetitive towards the end - the information is what this move was made for - and it certainly delivers
For anyone even thinking of buying it - do so.
It definitely worth the watch.
Happy viewing.
Rating  - All We Are Is Dust In the Wind
Just when we might begin to think that our human footprint on planet earth is indelible, along comes "Life After People." Through computer graphics and real events the viewer is left with little doubt that as soon as the human race departs, the natural world begins to take over. In a millenium, the great bridges, buildings and other edifices of man will all be gone save perhaps the pyramids, Mount Rushmore and Hoover Dam.
Overall, a well done and unsettling documentary. Except of course, if you are one of the scientists who was interviewed in the documentary. Did I detect a certain joy coming through his comments at the idea that earth might be better off without humans? Interesting indeed.
Rating - It's pretty much my favorite ever.
It's the best. I recorded it on my DVR and watched it five times in just as many days. Then I asked for it for my birthday and I invite people over just to watch it. It's gorgeous and profound. Although I do agree that there are some things that need to be addressed and so on, and it would be interesting to know the scenarios in which people would die off (but that's really not the point of it, the point is what happens to the Earth, not to us. I think that should be saved for a different documentary).
I give it five stars and a high five. It's great.
