Jack - Fantastic presentation about plastics and the solutions the world is facing. It also dives deep into other ways we can cope through composting, new materials, and countries working together. Probably the most in-depth and comprehensive explanation of a film up to this date on the topic. Great for students and those wanting to knew the whole story! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Len D As the critics said - the movie was not that well produced as it is all over the place. But the main point is it shines a light on the issue and shows there are no easy solutions. While the high tech solutions being shown are important, the real issue to me is overpopulation as the documentary shows there is no escaping plastic use as well as other pollution including food waste. Family planning needs to be a major focus as highlighted by Project Drawdown. The fact that the "concerned mom" has 4 young children shows how this is not even on the radar for most people. We are on pace to add another 2 billion people in a short amount of time yet this is rarely spoken about. The major impact an everyday person can have is thinking about how latge their family will be and how soon they will have kids Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Janice O I love the solution based approach- showing the audience the solutions being worked on to solve such a large crisis to in turn get young people inspired to be innovators to help lead the charge in solving this massive problem! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Marie J I am in absolute shock as to how much plastic we are being exposed to and consuming! This movie is an eye-opener on what we casually purchase and then throw away. Recycling is not the solution. Hope this message gets out to everyone so we can force companies to change the way they package items. Right now, we as consumers have almost no choice. Definitely worth watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Jennifer S This documentary absolutely inspired me to make changes in my daily routine & actually look closer at the list of acceptable & unacceptable material of the recycling service my family uses. It goes into the challenges that exist in recycling materials effectively. Watching Plastic Earth reminds the viewer that we can all make a difference even with a small amount of effort. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Wendi V Until I saw Plastic Earth, I had heard of the growing plastics problem, especially in our oceans and waterways, but this film really puts it into perspective and goes into great detail about the specific problems and what people and companies are doing to improve it all over the world. There is so much science behind it, sometimes going over my head, but fascinating as well. My only negative comment (which may not be all that negative) is that it felt like too much was crammed into it. As I understand it, there was plenty that was cut from the film and also some points they had wanted to touch on but did not get the chance to or else it would have been much too long. So, it probably could have been made into two films. Rob Riggle was a great choice for the narrator, as he does a great job contrasting the very technical nature of the film. Much respect for the creators of the film putting so much thought and time into it that this subject deserves. Can't wait to see what they do next!
