Watching this inspires horror in normal people. The beaches in Japan the junk dredged from sea water. You feel like we are burying the planet in garbage. (Something that anyone with eyes in their heads already knows.)
Where the documentary fails is when it starts asserting things like the sperm count in humans is down 40% from a generation ago. This sort of unbelievable comment adds a lunatic fringe element to this horrible problem. It is quite enough that we are ruining habitats there is absolutely no need to add this sort of unbelievable nonsense.
The experts cited are unknowns from minor institutions--reproductive biologists from Spokane State etc... This further weakens these unneeded arguments. If they had used Harvard or MIT or NIH experts it would have made a difference. Finally the film drags on too long it needs editing.
I hate the use of plastic and this documentary should have stuck to the polluting and harming of animals it would have been much more effective. Also making multi national evil boogie men is too cliché 60s stuff and marks it politically which alienates a lot of people.
I did like its breathless style where it transitions instantly from Shanghai to Colorado that was impressive.
It is pity it comes off overall as boring and weak because we are burying the planet in harmful waste not just plastics...heavy metals...glass..pharmaceutical waste..electronic debris... old furniture concrete GARBAGE PERIOD on and on and on...A product of there being just too many people.
And there is no solution except maybe a catastrophic ice age or some such thing. I actually hope for that to save the planet and all the other life that lives here.
