Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Expected more

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This type of propaganda doesn't do anything for the debate. The agriculture community has been talking about the monoculture issue for years. Is it a potential problem? Yes. Do dramatic films that twist data do anything to truly inform people? No. From "Feed Grains, Soybeans and the World Trade Organization" by Albert Allen, Department of Agricultural Economics, Mississippi State University "Although scientists agree that GMO products are safe, consumer groups, environmentalists, political leaders, doctors,and others are increasingly debating the health, environmental and ethical issues surrounding these products. In European countries, governments have delayed the acceptance of corn varieties that are GMO enhanced. This could lead to world wide delays in the marketing of these products to consumers." So, "scientific consensus" is good enough for global warming but not for GMO's. Interesting.

I really wanted to like this film. It deals with a topic of great importance and generally propagates ideas that I agree with - like the dangers of corporate behavior, the threat to biodiversity that GM products pose and the absurdity of patenting life.So what's the problem? Let me sum it up:most of the movie is comprised from old footage cuts accompanied by a rather dull commentary. Not very captivating.the commentary is badly written. It's repetitive and often fails to make a point. For instance, it cites three methods for genetic modification of a cell. Dramatic music, the 'expert' says that the procedure is very invasive to the cell and that it mimics the behavior of a virus and... nothing more. I wanted to know what problems can arise from the treatment but there was no explanation. Is it really surprising that overwriting the DNA is 'invasive' to a cell? Yet, this treacherous 'invasivness' is mentioned several times through the film (with no additional information).important information is left out. For example, the movie mentions the Supreme Court's decision on the Monsanto vs. Schmeisser trial but fails to mention the Court's reasoning that sheds a different light on the severity of the ruling. On top of it the court denied any compensation to Monsanto. This clearly didn't fit the film's agenda.the choice of the talking heads is poor. When compared to the respectable lineup that producers of other documentaries were able to accumulate (e.g. The Corporation, The Power of Nightmares) I can only assume the creators of The Future of Food just didn't make their homework. Where are (ex)employees of the bioengineering companies, politicians that took part in creating the regulations for GM and where are the representatives of the regulatory government bodies?

Every American needs to see this movie, I have purchased copies and given them away, I feel it's that important. Here on Oahu Monsanto has purchased an additional 2500 acres for genetic experiments on the food we eat. The information in this movie is suppressed in our country to say the least. If you say anything bad about genetically modified food in the press you are generally sued by Monsanto, and like some fox reporters fired for your story.The plight of those reporters is told in the movie as one of many events studied to give the viewer a picture of the conspiracy at hand. Although this film is becoming a bit outdated it is still a great foundation everyone should see about the corporate plot aimed at dominating and owning the world food supply at the cost of corrupting and polluting it forever.

SOON -- and that they comments, seeing as there are only ~5! Very Interesting that even though Amazon.com sells it, IMDb has no hyper-link for/to it (up in the right-hand corner of its title page there) like they do virtually all other films (and/or the/an official website link!! What the hell's w/ that?? Anyway, Y'all can also get this most-excellent DVD at peaceproject.com , I'm quite sure. It's really disturbing -- also re: so many other fine film documentaries -- that so few people have seen and are (apparently) unaware of its existence! If people don't get their act together, we're REALLY in a LOT of trouble, Y'all -- and i don't mean only re: food/s!!
