5.0 out of 5 stars A Stroke of Genius for Our Time November 14, 2009
By Midge
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an incredible film, pertaining to what could be, not just improved. The revolutionary thinking of Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows pertaining to a resource-based economy rather than an outmoded monetary-based economy is absolutely revolutionary and extremely refreshing to observe. The idea of restructuring our society by first thinking humanistically as well as using the existing technology (and future technology) is not just explained, but visually demonstrated and astonishing to behold. For example: Memory Metal. A metal or plastic that returns to its original state after being deformed over and over again that exists now! Cities designed for the sea as well as mariculture and freeing humanity's creativity instead of constant competitiveness and redundancy may well be our way out from destroying ourselves. Fresco states: "We are not civilized yet." Jacque Fresco is a genius of great magnitude, and it is extremely important to heed his gems of practical, yet creative wisdom. There is just simply too much to include in this review to give this film justice. It needs to be seen to fully appreciate the implications of it. I have bought multiple copies for others to try to bring a sense of hope for humanity's future. I have also bought 3 other discs from "The Venus Project", which is in itself astonishing! Many "Kudos" for this fabulous 2 disc film that is so needed to be realized at this time in human history!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! October 18, 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Technology in harmony with nature is the design. Scientific method applied to sociology is a solution. Jacques Fresco will be hailed some day as a savior! We must,at all cost, put these designs into action immediately. Fresco is one of those ultra rare individuals who's mind transcends the trappings of greed, fame and overall self interest. Since the age of 8 he has been drawing visions of a good future where man is liberated by technology rather than enslaved by it. We all feel the overwhelming need to change. Most of us just don't know any real solutions to our biggest problems. This video is nothing but solutions. If you are a billionaire out there who happens to read this, stop screwing around and invest in some of Jacques solutions! I thank and salute Jacque Fresco and friends for dreaming and designing a future I can only hope for. I finally have a vision of the future in my mind other than "Mad Max" that actually makes sense. Buy it, watch it, live it, share it! Blessings!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Plea for Radical Change June 21, 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Did anyone else walk outside on the day the banks were teetering on the edge of their self imposed failures and notice that the bird's still sang and crops still grew? As the Gulf of Mexico slowly fills up with oil, is anyone else wondering what life would be like if social responsibility and concern for others replaced greed.

We are always shown the failure of communism as a model for what would happen is we all worked at what we were good at to create a clean beautiful world. Fresco's designs are clean, beautiful and livable. Community spirit replaces the hoarding of goods. It would be hard to flip a switch and convert the world to this, but I could see myself living a happier life with less in a community like the ones he envisions, especially in hurricane prone Louisiana.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome video, highly recommended February 14, 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an incredible DVD. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in environmental causes and for those who love social issues. Of course architects would benefit greatly from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video! June 6, 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This video is awesome!
Mr. Frasco is a genius! While some details of the ideas may not be to my liking - I can easily see much of his work being produced in the near future & even one of them was featured in Popular Science last month while not duely accredited to him!
I want to get every video about this man' work!
A good daring peek into the future & what lies ahead if we all have the vision & work together to help make it happen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Future by design, video February 10, 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jacques Fresco, a Florida resident, is a very creative entrepreneur and visionary. You can visit and have a look at his ideas in Florida. What Disney World is to kids, a fairy tale world, Jacques Fresco's ideas are to the parents, a vision of our future! An amazing man, an amazing life, an amazing video. There is nothing like it! Check out his website, google his name. I am glad I did.

This film gives a very one-sided view of inventor and futurist Jacque Fresco. There is no objectivity, not a word from critics or even anyone who seriously questions his ideas.
