5.0 out of 5 stars Watch it and love it!, August 11, 2007

By 

Marlene S. (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hellstrom Chronicle (DVD)

I saw this movie decades ago, and I'm still thinking about it! It is actually a GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFULLY PHOTOGRAPHED documentary about insects, presented as a science fiction "warning" that insects were here before humans and that they will survive us and possibly take over the world at the end. "Hellstrom" is the narrator, the voice of doom giving all the facts, which are actually pretty convincing, about insects which will enable them to one day be Planet Earth's dominant species. This movie is entertaining and educational. Did I mention gorgeous?

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be Re-released on DVD, May 26, 2005

This review is from: The Hellstrom Chronicle (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out, and was blown away by the cinematography, which would be good by today's standards. Not only should this movie still be on VHS, but I think it is deserving of being on DVD as well, and perhaps even released in theaters again. Anyone who had never seen it would have no idea how old it was, and us old farts who did see it would no doubt enjoy seeing it again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let's have it, then!, December 16, 2006

By 

Michael Wideski "Samoa" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hellstrom Chronicle (DVD)

A tad irrelevant, a bit childish, sure, but it will make you think. Are we the Masters of the Earth or just a bunch of parasites that don't deserve to live in such a wonderful place? If nothing else, great macrophotography, and an amusing storyline. I can't wait for my little girls to see this. We should never take for granted the World that we live in.
