I was excited before going to the theater... More than hundred thousand people rated it with 7.6/10!! It must be a great movie..But alas!! Damn goes the so called popularity..

It does not have any screenplay at all. The actors did fairly well. Actually, none other than the lead actress had anything challenging to do at all. Well, she was good, to be honest. And I guess the popularity credit goes largely to her. Moreover, the next-Megan-fox blah blah things turned up the meter as well. You might anticipate some actions. Nothing I got. The camera-work seemed horrible to me. No actions were perfectly screened. Its all just a somehow-finished-it stuff. The most important thing is, you have to have some tempo in an action movie. The movie was a disaster in this sense.

I'll sum up now. If you liked Godfather and all the IMDb top-listed mo0vies and the Oscar and Cannes winners, you got to stop yourself from watching the movie. If you are a cheap movie-lover and enjoy whatever they show you because you are completing your assignment while watching it, you are most welcome. To me, it was yet another I-don't-know-how-people-see-these movie type.

Well, this just couldn't get any better. Its sensibly made, very well prepared and beautifully presented. If you want to learn in brief the history of the ups and downs of Darwin's theory, then this is the one to see. Moreover, the direction, the cinematography bear the "top-class-BBC" testimony. Broadcast as a part of the BBC's Darwin Week celebration, this documentary film takes you to the journey of the theory from 1859 to the present and hopes to go even beyond. On the way, it shows the great obstacles the theory faced and how a group of extra-ordinarily talented people came up to defend it. It boldly discusses the primary drawbacks of the theory and how Darwin truly felt about it. It also shows how, in the gene era, we, humans can find our place in nature. It introduces the viewers with some of the latest techniques being used for evolutionary analysis and also a few very new and promising branches of science. The bottom line is, this 90 minute film deserves a view from a true admirer of Darwin and evolution.

For any person interested to know about early life on earth and fossils,here you are....Being served by David Attenborough in the best possible way...

When I first got this series, I wasn't much excited as I always am to see a David Attenborough special....but this man keeps surprising me....What an amazing journey towards the past of life on earth!!!Seriously,paleontology never seemed better...It's a regret that I've seen this after so many years.

The specialty about this series (from all other Dino or ancient life-related series) is that it'll keep you glued (if you truly appreciate fossils and their significance).The gradual build-up of each of the episodes was just fascinating (well...not that much surprising actually,since it is none other than David ATTENBOROUGH who's hosting!!) After watching this show,you'll be able to better understand evolution and adaptation,for fossils are the direct evidence of evolution.

I think it'll work even better if you watch this series and the 2010 "David Attenborough's First Life" series in close proximity,just as I have done.
