I do respect you

for all the cast; you are one of few respectful unique documentary movie makers. I knew the world it going straight to that dead zone; but I never know it is going with this speed even this acceleration.but after all I realized that the earth (mother nature) she is not going to die. she will survive. she already survived for millions of years.she will live, we won't. so I used this as a message subject. the message I sent to almost everyone I know to watch this important movie.About the movie itself; here is what I think is the tiny bad thing is I felt like you (and I mean who handled the documentation itself) wanted to show too many things in very sort time from my prospective. This movie I think it can be in sequels of at least 5 parts. Of course you delivered the message so perfectly. but it wasn't a full one.

Racing Extinction

I only found out about this documentary film because it was nominated at the Oscars, it didn't really matter to me which one it was, but reading about the film, it did sound quite interesting actually. Basically scientists predict that by the end of the century we may lose half of the species of animals on the planet, they believe we have entered the sixth major extinction event in the history of the Earth. The first was the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction, the second was the Late Devonian mass extinction, the third was the Permian mass extinction, the fourth was the Triassic- Jurassic mass extinction and the fifth was the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction. The current potential extinction era is called the Anthropocene, or 'Age of Man', because it is humanity that has caused catastrophic loss, mankind are the only ones that can stop it as well. The Oceanic Preservation Society are voicing for the thousands of species on the very edge of life, and an unlikely team of activists are out to expose the two worlds most endangering species across the globe, these being international wildlife trading, and the oil and gas pollution. Director Louie Psihoyos leads this ambitious mission to call attention to our impact on the planet, and inspire others to embrace solutions that will ensure a thriving planet with thousands of remaining animal species for future generations. It is a film with a poignant message about rescuing creatures of all kinds, focusing especially on the legalities of how shark fin soup is made and the pollution unseen to the human eye brought to life, but there is also the part of you can enjoy the great colour and beauty of the world that we are trying to put right, an interesting environmental documentary. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Original Song for "Manta Ray". Good!
