5/10
Unacceptable style
18 February 2006
This film is wonderful as a science fiction spoof documentary but I am appalled that it would be shown on a documentary channel. It is deliberately misleading to do so. Children, and a large majority of adults would not recognise this as a spoof and the narration does not imply clearly enough that this is a "what if" film. Why Animal Planet or the Discovery channel would choose to utilise such sensationalising tactics I do not understand. We watch those channels to broaden our knowledge base and do not expect to spend vast amounts of time counseling our children because they have been misled. This alone made me furious enough to spoil what would have been a fun film given in the right context.
