Ridiculously sententious.


While I agree with the sentiment, it is terribly irresponsible to make a documentary that fails to inform enough to compensate for the moralizing ideological fervor and overall preachiness it contains. This documentary does nothing to educate an audience that is possibly ignorant on the details yet dogmatically averse to the premise, which is to say it merely panders to the ones who already agree with most of what is being said, and it very possibly repels the people that actually need to become aware about the constituent knowledge.

The excessive aphorisms, the bias towards the United States, the poor writing and pronunciation in the narration, the negative attitude towards GMO's without any scientific evidence to back it up, the cacophony between each piece of footage, and the ubiquitous pretentiousness made this an extremely unpleasant experience.
