Critics Consensus

Bill Nye: The Science Guy is as edifying as it is entertaining, much like the scientist turned TV celebrity and political advocate himself.

Rosana B

Programa de televisão americano de educação científica criado por Bill como uma versão fictícia de si mesmo, foi ao ar de 1993 a 99, ganhou 19 Emmys, Estudos descobriram os que assistiam regularmente eram mais capazes de gerar explicações e extensões de ideias científicas do que não-espectadores... E pensar que hoje em dia ele tem que lutar contra os anti ciências, que tem até museus que incentivam a teoria criacionista, é um bizarro quanto absurdo...

I agree with Bill about a lot but how can you take someone serious who considers made up genders science based and then call other people science deniers.

... what the documentary Bill Nye: Science Guy achieves, as the best documentaries do, is peer behind the curtain of illusion and try to find some kind of truth.

Rated: 3.5/5

San Francisco Chronicle

There's now an urgency, a sense that we are in peril because fundamental truths about how the world works are being ignored and ridiculed.

Rated: 3/4

Peter Keough

Boston Globe

Channeling Nye's own gift for making complex ideas simple and clear, the filmmakers edit together these various aspects of Nye's life with deceptive ease, drawing on interviews and archival material and following him throughout his hectic schedule.

Rated: 3/4

Third Coast Review

Bill Nye: Science Guy works best because the profile it builds around its subject is a bit rough around the edges.

As a documentary, directors David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg manage to create a film that zips along. There's enough ground to cover that it always feels interesting.

Rated: 3.5/4

Al Hoff

Pittsburgh City Paper

The central question of how does one become a "scientific statesman" in our current media environment, which is entertainment-driven and filled with misinformation and even disdain for science, is an intriguing one.
