Audience Member they say opposites attract Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The director is a bit behind the times; check Smithsonian channel for more current and engaging approaches to similar material. One line summary: Well-shot, but boring. -------------------------------------------- The film has four parts, one for each pair of antipodal points examined. One: Entre Rios, Argentina and Shanghai, China. Argentina alternated between great beauty and straight out boring; Shanghai was both beautifully shot and repellent. Two: Chilean Patagonia and Lake Baikal in Russia Prosaic lives versus prosaic lives; in both cases, set against majestic landscapes almost devoid of human life. Great camera work. Three: Big Island, Hawaii and Kubu, Botswana Both dreadfully ugly. Four: Miraflores, Spain and Castle Point, New Zealand Thank God, there is an end to this. The upside down video has my teeth on edge by this point. More of the same, only less interesting. Sawing up the dead whale was not a plus, nor was the footage of digging a hole and pushing the corpse in. ------Scores------- Cinematography: 10/10 Excellent. Watch this in high definition if at all possible. Sound: 8/10 Sparse, but well done. Acting: z/10 Not applicable. Screenplay: 5/10 The transition from one point to its antipodal point given by sky down ground up was amusing the first time, but immediately lost its charm thereafter. Some of the juxtapositions were amusing, others were just boring.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this at the 2012 international film festival. Simply beautiful Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member the inventive camera movements and breath taking images, make this en experience worth taking. pretty to look at. might have been shorter though.. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This was by far, without a doubt, the most boring, disappointing and time wasting film ever to hit the cinema. The film clocks in at 1 hour 40 minutes, most of which has no dialogue, is comprised of thirty to a minute long scenes of trivial nothingness, and is plagued with the worst score of any movie ever. An utterly embarrassing 'movie,' this ridiculous excuse for a picture is not even worth two minutes of screen time. The dry jokes only make it worse, too. 0/10 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
