I gave this 7 stars because the cinematography and camera work is excellent, the music is good but stays a bit in the background which is fine since this movie wants to focus on the topics at hand rather than overdramatize things.

Only downside i see is this movie tries to deal with too many topics at one time and doesn't really go full circle. There is the story of Bill himself and his life and struggles of becoming famous and surprisingly some personal stuff like why he hasn't had kids and so on. Then we have the creationists that deny the earth is older than 6000 years among so many other things. And then ofcourse the climate change deniers.

I would gladly see this becoming a tv-show since the message is so important and that would allow all topics to be explained more in depth than what a movie can deliver. So each topic could be its own episode and with Bills personal life sprinkled in there for those who idolize him.

The 1 star reviews are troubling to read. Saying there is some sort of agenda or conspiracy to this. The only way our society is going to advance is if we follow what the science says. The actual data. Scientific consesus is important and very different from popularity because scientists do not put personal objections in their work or otherwize they wouldn't be scientists. Sure science can change over time but it rarely if ever does a 180 on what the initial data implies. More like it adds to the data making it a more full theory. And yes scientific theories are an explanation of a body of facts not a hypothesis as many creationists will imply.

Bill Nye is retiring his children's show in a bid to become more like his late teacher, astronomer Carl Sagan. Sagan dreamed of launching a spacecraft that could revolutionize interplanetary exploration. Bill sets out to fulfill Sagan's mission, but is sidelined when he is challenged by opponents of evolution and climate change to uphold the scientific consensus. Can Bill show the world why science matters in a culture increasingly indifferent to evidence?

American science education television show created by Bill as a fictionalized version of himself, aired from 1993-99, won 19 Emmys, Studies have found regular viewers were more capable of generating inspiration and extensions of scientific ideas than non-scientists -spectators... And to think that nowadays he has to fight against the anti-sciences, that there are even museums that encourage creationist theory, is as bizarre as it is absurd...

So. The series were valuable. In an entertaining way science concepts were taught.

Allthough sometimes over the top but it stick better that way.....

Now this move is another confirmation that he wants to change the world, like his parents did.... and he honestly believes it is calling.

Neil de grasse doesn't come out much better with his appearance here.

The way he puts the bottle of wine on the table sort of is everything against science has taught us to treat wine. Let alone his part in the appointment of the new ceo in the company of mr. Sagan.

Than the movie itself.

It lacks direction.... it is all over the place and ultimately decides that we'll show a guy who is human. Looks around and is allowed to tell other people about his interests.

It sort of reminded me why all UFO "documentaries" are pretty bad and sort of accomplish the opposite of what they want to do.

And there is another fact that was really bothersome.

At one point the bodybuilder weatherguy says. That each year the temperature should get higher because of global warning if it was really happening.

And this statement gets confirmed by bill Nye.

I am by no means a science tguy, I thrive on logic though and there are more things in play, so that statement is not correct. You can't cut the period in years you have to look at a bigger scale than that. And not every part of the world will get hotter because of global warming. Some places might be even cooler because of how sea currents are disrupted.

Bill Nye is a television personality (with an interest in science) and a degree in engineering. He is the CEO of a company because he is a television personality. Like some politicians are on the payroles in companies in my country because of free advertising and making people believe in it. What it does however is discredit the company imo because they have a personality as it's ceo.

And they should have told the truth about lightsail... first ask yourself what will lightsail do according to this movie.

Than look up what it actually did. And where it is now.

Bill Nye part of this project is that he was the face of the company.

He might have had a part in the engineering because I do think he was a solid engineer.

But alas the movie allthough a documentary only show Bill Nye on his knees looking if the tables are close enought to each other

anyway as a documentary there where some shots that have it's place , but it is more a biography and a heavily redacted one at that so that it is utterly useless. Just watch some old Bill nye things on youtube. That is far better than this stuff....

the team that was responsible for the show should be applauded for their work.

And maybe we do need influencers to get on board on the subject of global warming or safe vaccinations.

And once and for clear out all the confusion about tracking devices in vaccinations. (there is a patent on that) It basicly replaces the need for paperwork to see who is vaccinated or not. Instead of keeping quiet on that just tell that it was an option and why they did not chose it ultimately....

Anyway this movie makes it clear that if you are not 100% accurate and open about things people that don't buy it will use it to great effect to contradict everything.

If their is one lesson to be learned it is that the selfie culture is reducing Bill Nye's (and yours ?) life span. Bill Nye is confident about it.
