I watched it, but imo, it was overdone fantasy...and, the truth is,
if it were to happen, no one is around to "see" how it is/looks, lol!
I usually enjoy NatGeoHD, Discovery and esp. HD Discovery, but many of
their recent "big deal" shows/multi-part specials leave me wondering where
did they spend the dough?
Good exp., imo, is the recent series on The Body: every hour of this
4 or 5 part series is simply cheesy reinactments and continual replay
of the same footage...they beat their chest about the graphics, and
then used the same stuff over and over and over.
As for the "info" part, they spent 'hours' over the course of the series,
showing catchy graphics of the brain and never mentioned by name,
any of the areas they were highlighting. It reminded me of a modern
version of a bad science film strip, shown in 8th grade, circa 1960.
Could they not ever identify the amygdala or hippocampus or...they
kept highlighting?
HD is great...NatGeoHD and Discovery HD is sometimes visually stunning;
their level of real info and "science" is pathetic these days. The marketeers
and FX guys and the melodramatic writers have taken over, imo.
