Movie Reviews of Flatland: The Movie
Movie Review: a review for the personal edition
Summary: 5 Stars
I reviewed the "educational edition" before, but meant to put this down for the personal as well...In my opinion this is the best treatment of the book to be put on film. It's smart and funny. It explores not only mathematical concepts but larger political and philosophical themes. It also touches on very real concerns of state authority dissent while avoiding partisan pandering that would freeze it too much in our own time and place. Ultimately kids (and adults) who watch this version of Flatland are prompted to think more not just about math but about how they exist in the world they inhabit.Movie Review: GREAT MOVIE FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH CLASS!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a math teacher for the past 10 years, I can honestly say there is not much out there in the way of educational math movies worth showing in the classroom. That being said, Flatland is a great "cartoon" which presents the idea of different dimensions in an entertaining and clear way (obviously, the movie is much simpler than the book, but that is what makes it great for middle school age children). It was a great spring board for discussion within my classroom! I will be showing this movie for years to come! Worth every penny!Movie Review: Great educational and entertaining film!
Summary: 5 Stars
The original book has always been one of my favorites. I've taught it in my geometry classes every year. It was great to be able to incorporate this film into it to entertain the kids but also teach them. I know my students loved it! This version is so much more accessible to kids today compared to the tough language of the book. I recommend it to all math teachers, thank you for making it!Movie Review: Flatland is anything but Flat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a high school mathematics teacher and have shown this film to my geometry accelerated classes for the last 3 years. I have also shown it to math students of different ability levels. They all seem to love it, including the extras at the end of the DVD. It is thought-provoking, entertaining and educational on many levels. I understand that "Sphereland - the Movie" is in the works!Movie Review: Math Class 2-D Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Geometry class students loved it. It was entertaining and thought provoking. The web site has excellent activities that can fit the needs of kids at several grade and ability levels. Teachers need more of these "bells and whistles" to compete in today's techno society.
