With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone drawn to bleak, what-if futures and people who love a true story told well. It builds a whole broken world and makes you live in it. Sits nicely alongside The Day After. Set against the energy of New York.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
In this special documentary that inspired a two-season television series, scientists and other experts speculate about what the Earth, animal life, and plant life might be like if, suddenly, humanity no longer existed, as well as the effect humanity's disappearance might have on the artificial aspects of civilization.
