Brings about a feeling of interconnectedness with the world

Watching the movie brought me in a very peaceful state. A state in which I view every part of earth as a part of myself. The movie starts off with the astronauts talking about their experience in space. This made me realize that this view of the world is needed, especially in contemporary times. A view that Earth is one living organism in this gigantic universe. A view that goes beyond species, race, borders, nationalities and communities. It made me realize that once we eventually do become a species that travels to other planets and maybe even star systems, it will radically change the way we view our existence. As the concept of tribe relates to a kingdom, the concept of kingdom to nationality, so will nationality eventually relate to Planetary.All these ideas and feelings came to me in the first 15 minutes. The rest of the movie was more a filler with commentary by various people from different walks of life, accompanied with beautiful imagery. It is interesting that in a movie that was fairly centered around spiritual ideas no mention was made to theistic religions. Which was fine for me, but I can imagine some of my fellow Earthlings feeling left out.The opening message was very strong, the rest of the movie could have left out some of the commentary so that the viewer has more time to reflect on the core message. A tribesman jumping around in animal skins talking about mother earth, or monks chanting away "mindlessly" in a monastery did not contribute to the message of interconnectedness, mindfulness, caring, appreciation and love.

Disappointment

Great, Transformative makes you reconsider

We live in a world well poised for a change. Our path up until this point has been one of a Take, Make and Waste society. Planetary draws our attention to the behaviors of the past and ask's what are we do do now. The behaviors of the past, if they persist, will lead us to an inevitable outcome. However we have a choice to treat each other and the beautiful world we share with the respect and consideration that each of us deserve.It is beautifully done, never placing blame or condemning past actions. It simply shares the beauty that is planet earth and our share connectivity. I enjoyed it immensely and will watch it again.marc
