What a great journey. I don't know if all of the facts are correct, but they seem to be. To me, the reflections of humanity in our early ancestors are interesting. I see some other comments here saying the timeline isn't correct, but this story and the archeology is changing all the time anyway, so I imagine it would be tough to get this spot on. In any case, really fascinating to see this brought to life.

The make up is better than expected, and while artistic license has been taken with the narrative, they are good examples of behaviours.

An ambitious and enjoyable film. It does seem to have the feel of a TV documentary, which perhaps it is.

I found it to be a good positive outlook on start of humanity. Just don't take everything seriously and just listen. Sure, we all have views in our mind how might it started. Suggestion to those who want to watch this is just give a chance. The music is good and actors did great job.

This is an entertaining jump between the different stages of life that our ancestors went through on their way to becoming human. On the whole, it provides some great information about the steps that were taken, but mixed up among all of that is a lot of guesswork and straight up invented scenarios for the sake of drama. The beginning stages at 25 million years ago already have them acting more human than even modern chimpanzees, of which this is supposedly a common ancestor we share (Chimps and Humans share our last common ancestor between 10 and 8 million years ago)

The makeup is uncanny, and I never can forget that I'm just watching a bunch of humans in suits, which just never look very good? The Walking With Cavemen series looked far more convincing over 10 years ago.

The stories that are told can be entertaining, but the amount of baseless conjecture makes this absolutely useless as a documentary. I'd recommend Out of the Cradle as an alternative, which tells the story of our evolution with more up-to-date science than the Walking With series, but honestly they're both superior to this.
