Summary: Surprisingly my family loved it!
Comment: Because I watch science and nature programs a lot, I was not as impressed with this program as I had hoped to be. What was surprising, was how much each of my family members loved it. One would watch it and recommend the others watch it. They are all over 22, and again it was fascinating to see how much they each thought it was interesting and cool.

Summary: interesting look on our legacy
Comment: We have all wondered what our society's ruins would look like. Now with this dvd we call can. Very well made and covers all aspects of our human impact.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Makes you think...
Comment: I really enjoyed this show although I felt that after about an hour not much changed from hundreds of years after humans to thousands of years and it got a bit depressing on one hand but uplifting on the other. Mother Earth pretty much takes over and you can't even tell humans were ever on this planet. Worth watching though!

Summary: World Without Us?
Comment: The premise of this video sounds exactly like Alan Weisman's book, The World Without Us, which was published a year earlier. I loved the book and hoped it would become a two- or three-part PBS documentary. Is this a ripoff of the author's work or something original? I haven't seen it yet (there is no "rating pending" option so I was obliged to give it an average rating).

Summary: basically about corrosion
Comment: I had high hopes for this video but in the end it was essentially all about how the lack of maintenance will affect the corrosion and decay of various types of structures - concrete, steel, etc. etc. I guess the feel was less apocalyptic than I had hoped. In defense I suppose this would have come off as too political if the film dealt more directly with long term environmental impacts from a scientific peerspective. They did visit a town abandoned in the aftermath of Chernobyl and talked about the dogs and cats (avoided discussion of what domestication does to plants and animals), but the film would have had more impact if it dealt with these issues.
