I so agree with IMDB user "fedore8" and their review of this quasi-docu.
The cinematography is phenomenal. However the use of time lapse in so many places was a turn off.
Hippie girl who seems to know it all about what peace should be and how the earth is being ruined by people yet she takes no issue with fossil fuel keeping her rear end warm so she can pontificate. She's not adorable. There's a reason she gets along so far away from others in the real world. I'm more then sure this is her only sorority that she was allowed to join as the rest of us in the human race have said to her "move along, we're sick of listening to you". I half expected her to show her hobby as knitting pink stocking hats with two pointy ears...if you catch my drift.
With the whining of so many of them you'd never know they, themselves, signed up for this gig. They weren't forced to go, nor forced to stay for any longer then what they signed up for.
"No one gets to stay here indefinitely.". Well, what a great observation. I know it'll come as a huge shock to him that none of us get to stay anywhere indefinitely. We all die. This is the same wisdom spiller of the clouds and the obliteration of the O-Zone. Oh my gosh, if only we could send Al Gore here. Forever. We'd all be a lot better off and they'd have their ManBearPig to worship. (But not indefinitely because, we all die). Just like they let the seal do because they "aren't allowed to interfere with nature". They've already interfered by being there in the first place. I'd lay some serious money they wouldn't have taken the seal in because it would poopy, it would be stinky, and they would have to think of someone or something other then themselves.
There isn't one single thing to be garnered from this so called documentary. Oh sorry, there is and that is I'd never want to live anywhere near these whiners.
