The end credits listed where exactly each location in each country was.

I found it a frustrating film because I wanted to ask questions about some shots. Obviously no answers would be given!

One scene did trouble me. The film is a 12a yet we saw shots of sex dolls in provocative poses. How could you explain those to a young child. It jarred with some of the beautiful shots for me.

Also I really disliked [spoiler]the coffins. The childrens coffins made me uneasy but the one that was shaped like a gun was horrible.[/spoiler]

Really agree with your last one . . . I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe!

visually cool.

reminded me of Kyunastimastinioco or some other movie title from the 1980s.

Appears to be split into chapters - environment, humanity, sex, religion? But apart from that was unsure about the direction here. If one chapter was sex, why did it include sickening child sex dolls. no need, unless it was there to jar us awake halfway into the movie. The battery farm scenes had that jarring effect too.

A good antidote to the pomp of Olympics, reminding us that there is a world beyond the Games for us still to explore and appreciate how stunning the world is.

But too long though!

Poor character development and very hard to follow storyline. Soundtrack OK but dialogue a bit sparce. Felt Act 2 was a bit prolonged but loved that everything came together and was explained at the end.

Pfft!
