VHS Movie Reviews of Microcosmos
Movie Review: Microcosmos
Summary: 5 Stars
Suberb!
We LOVE insects and regularly feature them in our artwork [viewable at OlioStudios.Blogspot.com], along with other wildlife.
Microcosmos is truly a work of art with an excellent soundtrack, coupled with micro sound effects from creatures therein. There is much to explore in the animal kingdom. Also view "Insectia" by Georges Brossard, whom found an Insectarium in Montreal, Canada.
Best,

Movie Review: a must see

Summary: 1 Stars
If you are looking for a Nature documentary and would like to learn more about invertebrate biology, then look elsewhere. This movie is a bit like a silent-era movie, but played by small, incognito alien creatures. In Microcosmos, no effort is made to explain or describe, the scenes that are presented. Though or perhaps because the images are gorgeous, the movie feels even more vacuous and futile.
Now, if instead you are moderately- to well-versed in biology and want some stock footage, say, to illustrate a lecture on invertebrate behavior, then this movie is perfect. The bland and sometimes almost vacant soundtrack is not intrusive for a voice-over during lecture. However, you will need to know your invertebrates, for Microcosmos does not mention anything about the rich life it depicts.
Movie Review: Buggy for this bug movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD to replace a VHS tape I had of the same movie. I use it in my kindergarten class during our unit on insects. Every year, my students are completely mesmerized by it. They beg to watch it over and over - and every time, they are completely grossed out by the snails, sad for the grasshopper caught by the spider, they root for the dung beetle and his ball of "yuck"... This is an incredible movie. I don't know how they did this, but it certainly enriches the students' learning. I hear commments about the three body parts, antennas, compound eyes, six legs, etc. as the kids get an up close view of living, breathing bugs. I can't recommend it enough.Movie Review: Microcosmos
Summary: 4 Stars
Great DVD but unable to play in on New Zealand equipment. Had to view it through a Mac Computer.
Summary of Microcosmos
Using revolutionary cameras, the directors of this French film (with minimal English-language narration) have made an amazing chronicle of the insect world. There are at least a dozen fascinating, memorable images, and the carnage is held to a minimum. Some favorites include a caterpillar traffic jam, a frog's bout with a rain storm, and a bird that turns into Godzilla for a bunch of ants. Then there's the snail mating scene that must be seen to be believed. Great for families. --Doug ThomasGenres Video
