Koundinya Any nature-lover will love the movie as much as i did. It's a documentary that leaves any viewer contemplating.Breath-taking footage of the existing and unexplored places on Earth and the looming darkness that would engulf this beauty if the rapid industrialization and commercialization is not put to check is the theme of this documentary.The effort of the documentary makers to capture the stunning reality- be it the farms in France or the fragmented arctic ocean that makes way for the cargo ship- is much appreciated.Some facts might sound a bit exaggerated but that bolsters the argument on what the repercussions of our rampant industrial activity would lead to.

priyantha-bandara My rating: 4/5 I think I was late. I should have watched 'Home' the year it came out in 2009. But after nearly 2 years gone the documentary starts to make more and more sense. After so many natural disasters occurring around the world in more frequently than before and in most areas where 'Home' hovers above, I think we are yet to experience the worst. Don't get me wrong. 'Home' is not totally a pessimistic look at nature's destruction by human hands. It's quite more than that. 'Home' addresses the world's critical issues which as nations we all turns a blind eye to or give a lesser priority. Nothing in this planet comes for free and nothing is limitless. 'Home' is the story about nature and its interdependence. It speaks of how this wonderful planet we live in was a blissful arena for the human kind and how we have become so unkind and ungrateful towards it. 'Home' speaks of water, air and resources which bounds all living things as one and the crucial cycles which were active for billions of years which now having a threat of breaking. While revealing some heart shattering facts 'Home' shows few of the most unforgettable cinematography that I have ever seeing on a documentary. While covering 56 countries from air, there is not a single shot made from eye level of a human which vastly gives the gods view of what's truly the planet earth looks like. Scene by scene 'Home' is a visual extravaganza and a treat to the brains furthest of corners. And the mesmerizingly wonderful sound track by Armand Amar just purely satisfy the senses and speaks to the minds in deep. There is a very strong message embedded throughout the whole 95 minutes of 'Home'. And it's a message which none of us can dare to forget. I sure will cherish it and do whatever I may do to keep the balance of nature and be grateful towards it. (If you enjoy 'Home' then there is a strong chance that you will also like powaqqatsi and Baraka which is one of my favorites. And then you can try Blue Planet and Planet Earth from BBC)Read more of my reviews at flickshout.blogspot.com

Our ecosystem doesn't have borders. Wherever we are, our actions have repercussions on the whole Earth. Our atmosphere is an indivisible whole- it is an asset we share."1:13:10 "We are in the process of compromising the climatic balance, that has allowed us to develop for over 12.000 years... The system that controls our climate has been severely disrupted- the elements on which it relies have been disrupted... Humanity has no more than 10 years to reverse the trend, and avoid crossing into this (unknown) territory."

Sha Razeek This one took my breathe away, made me cry even. It was enlightening, spiritual and entertaining, all at the same time. IMHO it trumps the best blockbuster that Hollywood can ever produce. It's main actor, this tiny blue planet we call Mother Earth. It gave me a glimpse of earth like I've never seen before. The imagery is stunning and awe-inspiring. Just when you think they've run out of the best footage, you get to feast your eyes on something better. The soundtrack is amazing too and the narrator Gless Close does an exceptional job. All in all, this gem of a documentary puts a lot of things into perspective. It made a lasting impression on me...and I only wish every single human being on earth can watch it.
