I wanted to but couldn't!

Brilliant and touching

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Blistering performances.

this is the best documentary I have seen recently. It is related to every one of us. A message is very effective and depiction is much convincing. Don't waste another second in reading reviews and start watching it right now. It is worth the time. I really appreciate the hard work of the team behind this amazing shoot.

Racing Extiction, as the title clearly suggest, is about human activities that started at some point ad have made possible for species thriving for centuries to disappear in just a couple of years.This film is an eye opening for everyone who is living on this planet.The crew were not only involved in documenting some serious vile human activities, but they were also involved in more important role like educating people about the consequences of their actions.Majority of us blame automobiles for the increasing pollution these days, but this film takes you to places where you might question the food we eat: Milk, Cheese, etc.. As shown in the movie, the way we have started consuming dairy products has led to increased demand for them, and in turn, has led to more cows, buffalo which in turn gives out methane, a gas more potent than Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide can cause serious damage to sea life.It is sad and overwhelming at some points. But very inspirational. This documentary should be shown in every school and college.If you haven't seen this film yet, watch it. It will be worth your time and money.

This wild and cleverly produced documentary is going to take you places and bring tears to your eyes - not once, but on several occasions. There's also a scientific twist, offering an intriguing insight as to how Earth's atmosphere and it's oceans have changed over the many millions of years due to biological evolution, natural events, human interference, and what that could mean for the future.Indeed, there is a strong focus on protecting endangered species both on land and on sea, however don't mistake this for an average "save the whales" documentary where one flicks over the channel when the end credits roll. This documentary will stir up a rather different emotion that presents a sense of empowerment on a level never experienced before.The build up to the finale was superb; to coin a phrase, "The icing on the cake."If you have ninety minutes spare to watch Racing Extinction, it will be ninety minutes well spent.

It's easy to act as if climate change and mass extinction are not a Western problem - sadly, this is how this documentary mainly presents these issues to us. Although it touches slightly on the problems caused by the West, it focuses primarily on remote locations and allows the Western audience to sit back and simply observe and say "Hey! That's not right, they shouldn't be selling endangered species as a delicacy!". While of course, this is correct, but by shifting the blame to those in far away places, the audience can find it easy to forget that animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution and habitat destruction. This is briefly mentioned, but the documentary primarily focuses on underprivileged individuals who catch and sell beautiful creatures such as manta rays to the 'exotic food' market - because they have no other source of income. Although the documentary is carried well, to understand in detail the main cause of mass extinction - follow this up with 'Cowspiracy' - as good as it is, Racing Extinction doesn't pack the same punch as 'The Cove'.
