Man, this movie was overtly dramatic!


It's a serious issue, and there's definitely a conversation to be had, and I understood the arguments the film was raising, and this critique isn't about the ideas of the film itself but more so about their presentation. Having said that, this film was just so dramatic that it was eye rolling and borderline comedic. It's funny, though, this film is very much like Erin Brockovich, but I didn't have the same response to that film as I did to this one.

I agree, WOW was this overacted. It was so overly dramatic it made me roll my eyes several times. I can't take any of this material seriously when it's presented like a religious movie.

Yeah, well, everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion.
I think that the dramatized version of this story is much needed to drive home the very point of the story. Otherwise, people may not pay it any attention AT ALL. To be sure, this is a serious topic. I, myself, have been most definitely disturbed about GMO's and their impact since the early 80s. I have always worried about what my kids were subjected to as babies.

All these "sit at home, computer geeks" should put their time into research, rather than putting it into complaints and meaningless critiques. I've reasearched quite a lot, and what I've found has disturbed me enough to look for "non-GMO" foods. The gov't does NOT have to label, but honest, good companies HAVE decided to label "non-GMO" A perfect solution! I'm grateful they've chosen to do so! Fighting fire WITH fire!

Let me guess who your teachers are. Mercola Health Ranger. Food Babe. Natural News. Etc. don't you think you should read the other side and blogs of real farmers to see who's evidence is better? What kind of experts are on either side? Or are you so completely paranoid that you automatically think anyone even remotely open to GM tech must be an evil shill (kind of sounds like religion, huh)?. If you did sincere research, you would find that the evidence FOR using GM technology is a million times more supported than not.
