Cosmic Front (2011)
More sensationalism than accuracy
Kind of out of date for a science series. They tend to go out of their way to sensationalize and sometimes at the expense of accuracy. Not a bad series if you remember to fact-check them.
Transcendent Man (2009)
Kurzweil means well but...
Kurzweil did not seem to me to be doing a good job of bridging the gap between current technology and his predictions. It is one thing to predict that technology will continue to advance and another thing entirely to try and guess where that advancement will end up. I'm sure you've heard this before but there are two types of people in the world. Those who can't predict the future and those who don't know they can't predict the future. I do not think that the current acceleration in technology can continue as "business as usual". I also believe we lost control of this acceleration a long time ago. The abbreviation WTSHTF (when the crap hits the fan) has become common on YouTube and for good reason. My prediction is that whatever happens will be a complete surprise.
Land of Leopold (2014)
Scrambled eggs
Disjointed to say the least. Another director who thinks that weird is a substitute for good. Just because you can buy a bunch of cliches on eBay really cheap, doesn't mean you should throw them at a script and call it a movie.
