 | creationist; remarkably biased Jan 3, 2010 |
| Nice reenactment sequences and photography, but these are is the only merits of the film. I wonder if the scientists interviewed approved of the edited snippets of their conversations on The Origin, since, as a Paleontologist who has not only read the book but practised in the field, I can hardly imagine any able Biologist himself/herself so characterizing the work. It is likely that the interviewed scientists are selectively quoted, w/ malicious bias. | | |  | Could have been better Dec 5, 2009 |
This dvd has some very good photography and gets off to a good start detailing the influences that lead to Darwin writing his controversial book. The rest of the movie is mostly well known scientist talking about his work and why they think it changed the way scientist view biology and geology. It is a bit confusing and keeps going back and forth between the different scientists. There is not a strong thread of thought. Mostly it's scientist giving quick, often vague insights into how he may have missed other possibilities due to influences in his life. This is true but really not that profound. The main debate (creation vs evolution) is considered in the various scientist's opinions, but this movie is not trying to prove much scientifically. To be fair it would take a lot more time to go into the scientific facts than a hour movie allows, but a few more examples would have been nice.
The main thing I got out of it was a better view of the influences that molded the thinking of Darwin (his personal history). There is a ton of scientific research that shows he had little real evidence for his theories but this movie only highlights a few area's. I think in trying to give equal time to both sides of the controversy, the directors ended up with a lot of meaningless content. While it was somewhat interesting and is very good quality photography, I was a bit disappointed in the scope of the movie.
| | |  | Beautiful, Powerful, and Provacative Dec 5, 2009 |
Darwin; The Voyage that Shook the World is by far the most beautiful, powerful, and provacative media production ever produced that encapsulates the essence of Darwin's contribution to the natural sciences.

Darwin, Then and Now: The Most Amazing Story in the History of Science | | |  | Don't be fooled!! Nov 12, 2009 |
I watched this video at a friends house and it is nothing but another attempt by the Creation "Science" community to pass off their ID "theories" as reality TV. It is based on unsound concepts, with no basis in scientific concepts.
The filming is well done (that's why the 2 stars) but don't kid yourself, this is just another attempt to dress up ID in a new set of cloths. | | | | A biased creationist video Oct 24, 2009 |
| Before you order this video you should be aware that it was produced by a group called Creation Ministries whose web site states that " Creation, Evolution and Science Ministries is dedicated to exposing Darwinism as a scientific fraud and revealing the overwhelming evidence that supports a Biblical Creation." So if you are looking for something educational and suitable for schools, etc. THIS IS NOT IT!!! This video is clearly meant for those who want to see a documentary that supports their belief that Darwin's ideas are not right because it conflicts with their personal spiritual views. It "reviews" data and arguments in a clear, biased and non-scientific way. It is very clear that all of the creationists involved started with the assumption Darwin and evolution are wrong, and then proceeded to find evidence that supports this opinion. This is not science, and it has zero value for education. I am disappointed that the this site web site had no information available on the biased and unscientific nature of this video, and I will be returning this video and asking for my money back. Lastly, only cults and other similar organizations try to hide their intent, so why is the description of this video so different from the actual content? | | | Write your own review about Darwin-Voyage That Shook The World
