      84% Tomatometer 19 Reviews 83% Audience Score 250+ Ratings Taking more than six years to film, this documentary written and directed by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou tells the tale of planet Earth's creation through breathtaking footage of diverse animals, changing land masses and swirling oceans. Narrated by Sotigui Kouyaté, the film lets the intricacy and grandeur of nature do most of the storytelling, which explains why many of the animals and natural events are listed in the credits as the "cast list."

      J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Though the film’s science isn’t exactly rigorous, its photography and music are splendid. Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune With quiet skill and some poetry, Nuridsany and Perennou -- who began as award-winning nature photographers and popular book writers -- give us a big peek into their infinite theme and subject. Rated: 3/4 Sep 1, 2005 Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times Nuridsany and Prennou have made another breathtaking feature penetrating the unseen kingdom around us. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 15, 2005 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews A remarkable attempt to synthesize science and spirituality Mar 22, 2006 Full Review Marc Mohan Oregonian The team of five credited cinematographers, which includes the directors, uses slow motion, time-lapse and extreme close-ups to provide fresh perspective on familiar sights and jaw-dropping footage of things you've never seen. Rated: A- Nov 4, 2005 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press Because the images are so original and beautiful, Genesis is a movie you'll want to see on the big screen.

      Audience Member El tema que aborda no está tan bien profundizado como debería, y algunos planos con los animales retratados son algo simplones; sin embargo lo compensa la increible cinematografía y el esfuerzo de seis años dedicado a este proyecto, la historia del origen del universo explicada por Sotigui Kouyaté le da un plus muy satisfactorio y poético. Bella y original, Génesis es un filme diferente que es totalmente recomendable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member good mix of science and humor in this doc Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member what a beautiful doc. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely atheistic approach on our beginnings. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member wyśmienity komentarz a przyroda pokazana w technologii HD pierwsza klasa Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Josías G Obra de arte magistralmente narrada, tanto visual como auditivamente, no hay palabras que describan esta maravillosa pelicula que tuve la oportunidad de ver incontables veces en el cine y nunca me canse de ella y como no si narra la historia de mi vida y la de todos en este planeta e incluso el universo, simplemente no puedo dejar de vanagloriarla con buenos comentarios pues verdaderamente lo vale, por su narrativa su filosofía sus tomas su humor, yo ampliamente digo que todos deberíamos verla pues es un espejo que solo relfeja lo bello del universo y nos muestra los milagros de la creacion. Es una experiencia en la que tu el observador te contemplas a ti mismo y te llenas de tanto optimismo que no cabes de la alegria y es que el echo de que te hagan ver que estas compuesto por polvo de estrellas le levanta el animo a cualquiera. http://cineptimoarte.blogspot.mx/ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/17 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
