First Man

Excellent documentary that shows the latest research and the most plausable scenario of how the big apes became the modern man. Loved the acting, narrative and effects. Some parts had More dramatic effect than real actor movies!! (The mother carrying his Child....)

Anti evolution people Will hate this because of course.

Ps. I wonder if Homo erectus looked so much like us?

What a great journey. I don't know if all of the facts are correct, but they seem to be. To me, the reflections of humanity in our early ancestors are interesting. I see some other comments here saying the timeline isn't correct, but this story and the archeology is changing all the time anyway, so I imagine it would be tough to get this spot on. In any case, really fascinating to see this brought to life.

The make up is better than expected, and while artistic license has been taken with the narrative, they are good examples of behaviours.

An ambitious and enjoyable film. It does seem to have the feel of a TV documentary, which perhaps it is.

Of course, there are some inaccuracies here and there, but I guess that that much cinematic freedom must be given in order for this documentary to not turn boring. Dramatisation has been kept to the minimum so that this film is enjoyable while not straying too far from hardcore science. Must watch for every homo sapien on this planet.

Stories are a bit far fetched, but rather let your imagination run with it

This documentary is an amazingly written, directed, acted, and filmed set of scenes dramatizing individual occurrences of collective knowledge evolution in localized groups! They pause at unexplored or recently revised points in human anthropology and propose scenarios in which specific discoveries may have been made. Well researched and beautifully narrated.
