Movie Reviews of Microcosmos
Movie Review: Poor movie structure and content, but with shiny, pretty images
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are looking for a Nature documentary and would like to learn more about invertebrate biology, then look elsewhere. This movie is a bit like a silent-era movie, but played by small, incognito alien creatures. In Microcosmos, no effort is made to explain or describe, the scenes that are presented. Though or perhaps because the images are gorgeous, the movie feels even more vacuous and futile.
Now, if instead you are moderately- to well-versed in biology and want some stock footage, say, to illustrate a lecture on invertebrate behavior, then this movie is perfect. The bland and sometimes almost vacant soundtrack is not intrusive for a voice-over during lecture. However, you will need to know your invertebrates, for Microcosmos does not mention anything about the rich life it depicts.
