Plastic Planet Audience Reviews

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
b W Two types of people. One type is naturally destructive in some way or all ways and the other type builds or repairs in some way or all ways. This film is an example of what happens when the world is imbalanced in some way. Common sense, common good and balance. I am glad that someone reported the review that plainly stated that there are too many people and that they should be eliminated in some way. Where does that come from as a solution? That is a failure and a cycle of sickness that we must overcome. We are far too great to be limiting ourselves to life on one planet really. Does it make sense that with an endless cosmos filled with galaxies and universes that we should be so fearful of solving a very obvious problem? Will we be controlled to death by greedy, controlling psychopaths so eager to herd us to only one conclusion each and every time? Creative apocalypse. Justifiable genocide. There is a pattern. We have to wake up to that belief. There is a power greater than anger or violence. The information in this film is inspirational to people that have the sense to be inspired. As evil as someone may wish to believe they are, without good food, clean air, clean water, rewards, love, companionship and accomplishment they will cease to exist and proves that evil is inherently flawed. The fact is we are being controlled to death when we should be educated and instructed to make responsible decisions. Instead we are taught to fear the unknown that may lose control and explode at any time. This leads us to believe that we are weak and that we should huddle in a dysfunctional, passive aggressive way, beaten into submission and taught that we deserve to be disrespected. A reasonable amount of respect for everything is what this film is hinting and all films that are similar. We need solutions for the protagonists and solutions for the antagonists just to be fair. This film is not perfect and wasn't meant to be but it gets the point across.
........ Convenient and cheap, plastic seems to have become an indispensable element in our daily lives. Indeed, all sectors of the global industry depend today, in a way or another, on plastic. However, this substance, seemingly harmless, present a big threat, both for men that for health. It is this impact that Werner Boote denounces in new his shock documentary "Plastic Planet" For the first time as an actor and director,he take us on a world tour through fourteen countries to compare consumption of the inhabitants of different towns. After eight years of work and multiple trips about the world, Plastic Planet was released on the April six last on our screens. As a grandson of a founder of plastics industry Werner Boote is in any case well placed to investigate. Visibly prompted by a guilty family , he offer us today, a documentary retracing the current problems of our planet. Just like Michael Moore, this one staged himself by compiling interviews and adding a touch of provoked.So, we can also add the originality of this documentary, particularly, through the use of animations and some good ideas of staged. Ultimately, this film is both entertaining and informative. Children or adults, this documentary concerns us all. Therefore, dear readers, I highly recommend you to go to the cinema the most quickly possible.
marine558 The script about the film «  Plastic Planet » Talk about a life with plastic everywhere. This documentary was produced in cooperation with the director, Weerner Boote. In this documentary, there are lots of interviews. All the interviews try to present positives points of plastic. It try to raise awareness all the people. It get involved for the environment because wildlife is threaten. But plastic is it dangerous for human? Do you think that life without plastic is possible? We are starting with strong points of this documentary. The subject is interesting because it's a n actual problem. Then it's surprising. In my opinion I didn't know that there was so much plastic in the world. « Plastic Planet » it was a very good subject to learn. We can see it in family, there is no violence so a child can see the documentary. But now, we are talking about weak points. This documentary is too long and a little boring. The man who presents were serious all the time and it's not very funny.I advice you ask what are solutions about plastic, because it's possible that is dangerous. And finally ask if Mr Boote feel to handle the situation. To conclude I'll give you my opinion about the documentary. I don't like this documentary because it's too long and boring. But the subject is interesting because it's an actual problem and we are all concerned.
tock333 I thought this movie was going to be all about plastic and how it is clogging up our environment, and in part it was, but actually it was also much more. I enjoyed the scene where they showed the desert where Lawrence from Arabia was filmed, or the one where they worked to clean the beach of Nature Island, knowing that next year they would have to come back and do the same, and of course the bit with the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, but what really surprised me was the fact that we all have plastic in our blood! I mean I know plastic is everywhere, but even inside of us! That was a surprise. The most surprising of all however, was not all the information about plastic, but how LITTLE information the plastics industry is willing to share! I understand that they want to keep their "secret recipes" safe from their competitors, but come on every bit of food I buy has a list of ingredients on it too. Even if I know all the ingredients for a cake it still doesn't mean I can bake it myself. So what is the big deal? Is there something they do not want us to know? The government has passed so many regulations to protect us from what we consume, so why is it impossible for the EU to get any such a regulations passed for the plastics industry? I mean sure we don't eat it, but we certainly do put enough of it in our mouths almost every day. Just think, how many plastic bottles have you drunk from in the past week? Not to mention babies and baby bottles and pacifiers… What is all this plastic doing to our children, and why can't we as the consumers even find out what it is we are consuming? I think this film does its job well and succeeds in doing exactly what I would expect from this type of documentary. It has opened my eyes and motivated me to start asking more questions. Who knows, if enough of us start asking we might get some answers and even bring about a change! If you have not seen this film yet, then you should!
