First Man

Excellent documentary that shows the latest research and the most plausable scenario of how the big apes became the modern man. Loved the acting, narrative and effects. Some parts had More dramatic effect than real actor movies!! (The mother carrying his Child....)

Anti evolution people Will hate this because of course.

Ps. I wonder if Homo erectus looked so much like us?

I found it to be a good positive outlook on start of humanity. Just don't take everything seriously and just listen. Sure, we all have views in our mind how might it started. Suggestion to those who want to watch this is just give a chance. The music is good and actors did great job.

What a great journey. I don't know if all of the facts are correct, but they seem to be. To me, the reflections of humanity in our early ancestors are interesting. I see some other comments here saying the timeline isn't correct, but this story and the archeology is changing all the time anyway, so I imagine it would be tough to get this spot on. In any case, really fascinating to see this brought to life.

The make up is better than expected, and while artistic license has been taken with the narrative, they are good examples of behaviours.

An ambitious and enjoyable film. It does seem to have the feel of a TV documentary, which perhaps it is.

This documentary is an amazingly written, directed, acted, and filmed set of scenes dramatizing individual occurrences of collective knowledge evolution in localized groups! They pause at unexplored or recently revised points in human anthropology and propose scenarios in which specific discoveries may have been made. Well researched and beautifully narrated.

If the males of each species were really as awful as this "documentary" claims, we would never have managed to evolve at all. Useless things don't survive. Bad ideas don't survive. Male and female genders of each species have a distinct purpose, and are neither good or bad. But you wouldn't know it from watching this gender studies hot garbage. Don't waste your time. If there was an evolutionary biologist involved in this production, they should be ashamed of themselves.

That said, the production values were actually not bad. It was pretty to look at. The actors were fine, even if the makeup was a little uncanny valley.
