Wordiezett So much average

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Oh, I'm sure my review won't be voted the best one at all, likely voted down, but this movie must be some kind of joke.Sure, making a movie to show us where all the plastic we use in our lives could be interesting to watch, but Plastic Planet aims to make us feel like earth-killing monsters who need to use less plastic and spend more money to keep the planet from destruction. My god, it's not the f*ck1ng APOCALYPSE! I never use biodegradable bottles or bags (they cost more and I like pollution, anyway) and I don't recycle, neither do the hundred-some family members, friends and co-workers in my life, nor do many of the people in the community, or in the nearby city, or the island, or the whole province, and is the planet collapsing? Has it become a littered wasteland of garbage? No! And sure, Nova Scotia is just one province in the country but I've been to many countries and have yet to see one littered and polluted to the point of total destruction. Yes, I've seen the Great Pacific garbage patch and Beijing and Chernobyl and the Alberta Tar Sands and Love Canal, Bhobal, Scunthorpe, Sydney Tar Ponds, New Jersey, many of earth's supposedly most polluted lands, and never is it nearly as drastic as they say.Not only is Plastic Planet one-sided, it is also an environmental extremism scare tactic for a problem that really just isn't there.I won't be unfair, they do present their side of the matter effectively. But there are two sides to every story. Of course, there never will be a documentary or fictional movie in favor of pollution, this green movement crud has already swept the world with the ideology that to save the world we have to hate pollution, factories, jobs and industry and change our ways. Now we have to blame plastic. And environmentalists with their gourmet Starbucks and khaki shorts and biodegradable bottles can often afford to look like they care, though most of them really just want to yell about something.My advice, if you're smart and want to watch a movie that presents both sides of the matter evenly, pass this one up, it isn't worth your time unless you're a die-hard hippie or a global warming alarmist.And for the record, was the director even considering how much plastic is used in mass DVD production of this film? I've never seen anyone recycle a DVD and I assume this one will be piling up in landfills when viewers everywhere see it.

skuhmm This is by no means a perfect film, but a couple of the other users' reviews surprise me with their cynicism and actually make me suspect there might be moles from plastic corporations writing "reviews" here. Yes, Werner B. is clearly trying to emulate Michael Moore's style, and there's a moment or two where his playful, spontaneous interviewing style gets in the way of the interviewed person fully expressing their (usually very interesting) opinions. The guy of the bioplastic corporation in particular springs to mind. However, to say that this film carries no information and that its message is "alarmist" is absurd. The film clearly shows EVIDENCE of the effects of plastic in our health, with factual data provided by experts and plenty of real examples. Anyone thinking this is "alarmist" must live in a parallel world where it doesn't matter if the entire food chain is contaminated and transformed, the prevalence of cancer and endocrine disorders increase and the companies which create plastic are allowed to work secretly without revealing to the consumers what they really are doing. Poor plastic firms! Let's just keep on blindly consuming their products and not think too much, OK? After all, as we all know, they only have our best interest at heart and don't care about such things as money, huh?

MllxFanny Reviewer's rating ***PLASTIC PLANET ( 2011 ) Plastic Planet is a documentary exits cinema since 2008. The documentary speaks the environment and pollution. The grandfather was industry employee in plastic. We use the plastic since we were small and it's we things not dangerous. And yet, the grandfather is death...Plastic Planet is very interesting documentary because it speaks Plastic material and it shows that the plastic material is dangerous for health. It's a very string point the documentary. However, there are many boring moments... Plastic Planet is repetitive.If I should rename the documentary it : « a dangerous material without known it »to prevent the habitants but plastic material is used daily. STOP pollution ! I don't like the documentary in general because it's too long. And yet, I like Plastic Planet although it's too long but Plastic planet very interesting informations.As a conclusion : It's very interesting documentary and you learn things.Director : Werner BOOTE. Genre : Documentary. Country : Austria. Cinema : September 2011.

diakyra To be perfectly honest, I went to the movies to watch this because I wanted to support the idea of an Austrian documentary, because I believe they deserve more attention than they are getting nowadays. So basically I was predisposed to like the film. I hated it. The information content could be compared to one of those Galileo-specials: nothing of consistence, the parts with any potential were not explained, zero visual aids to the chemical reactions (except for an incredibly lame cartoon). Werner tried very hard to come off Michael Moore- style(he carried around a backpack the whole time- WTF?!), which sadly did not work at all for him. To "force" an interview, and then leave when politely asked, is not my idea of a committed reporter. Many of the dialogues were irrelevant and void of any consequence. Basically, he took a great topic, had an intriguing poster made, and at this point stopped letting the good ideas in. I felt I did not learn about plastic, and the movie -lacking an offer for any kind of solution- did not have a point.
