A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

My S+E teacher showed us the first 2 parts of 'How to grow a planet' and I was engaged the entire time, watching it even when we were allowed to talk with friends and play games simply because I found it so fascinating. The Scottish accent helps as well. ;). It is an amazing docu and I would recommend it to everyone. The way everything is explained so intricately is wonderful and gives a very detailed and informative show. The fact that the host even does an experiment during the film does not take away from the docu but enhances his point. The information about the bacteria that determined the colour of most plants and how the ocean used to be purple of all colours is extremely interesting. The way he explains it makes sure that most people can understand the jargon and not be completely lost.
