At its best, a documentary weaves a story so compelling that you fall into it long before you learn the narrative’s agenda. At its worst, a doc is a dull slog of information didactically presented without pizzazz. Werner Boote’s Plastic Planet is the latter as it contains a winding and inarticulate tale with an overt agenda that is announced in the film’s opening narration. This passion project aims to reveal the dark side of that unavoidable element of modern life: plastic. While Boote’s ambition to root out the possible downside to this wondrous manmade material is admirable, his journey is disjointed and uneven, full of gimmicks that fail to entice and facts that lack much needed context.
After years of adoring the plastic products his manufacturing grandfather brought home, Boote is seeking answers about this omnipresent product’s dark side. What prompted this turnaround? No idea.
