Featured review
0% science, 100% hippie
I remember as a kid the whole idea of the biosphere 2, but I was too young to pay attention at what was going on around it.
At first I was excited to watch this documentary, I thought this would narrate the whole idea of the project, construction, challenges and results. How wrong was I ?
First 45min is a hippie review on the lives of each of the biosphereans. Zero science. When they finally go to the biosphere they show very little of their routine, challenges, etc. They keep focusing on some drama and again no science.
Finally the project is over. The documentary mention not a single scientific finding, and enters the final stage showing some financial drama.
Such a potential topic and such a lazy approach to do a documentary.
