    A truly intriguing fictional documentary

    This is an interesting program. I've never seen anything quite like it, but I like it.

    The best thing about this program is that it provides a look into the future of our planet in a way that is both creative and realistic. The show and featured scientists give reasonable scientific explanations for all of the weird fictional creatures that appear, and their abilities. It honestly makes me sad that I will never get to see if this show was right or not.

    However, this program is not perfect. There are some things I do not like. First of all, the creature animations are constantly reused over and over, and it becomes annoying. Also, the CGI doesn't always blend well with the photo-realistic environments, making it look fake.

    Despite that, this is very unique and interesting fake documentary, that not enough people have seen and need to see. It provides an intriguing look into what our planet may look like from 5-200 million years from now. I highly recommend it.

    A Truly Wild Journey Into the World of Speculative Zoology

    If you have ever read any of Dugal Dixon's "speculative zoology" books, you'll love this show(and if you haven't, you should). The series has the same basic theme as his book After Man; what will animals be like far in the future? The series looks at three time periods, each in which life is given a different challenge. 5 million years from now, and the Earth is in the grip of a new ice age. 100 million years from now, and it's the opposite, the whole world is very hot and wet. My favorite part is 200 million years from now, in which a mass extinction has wiped out all familiar forms of life. I don't want to give away too much about the creatures that inhabit these future worlds. Go see it for yourself, because If this show is in any way correct in its speculation, the future is truly going to be wild!

    Incredible animation - wild speculation

    This is an educational series telling the history of life on earth as it might be based on what scientists know of past history.

    Told like one of the better nature programs with a view to speculating on the future. The creatures are imaginative and well explained. Each of them is presented as a potential descendant of today's species and how they came about. Biology, geography and environmental conditions are scientifically evolved by extending what we know of the past into the distant future. And this is all set to life with the use of some of the most incredible computer generated animations yet All of this makes the presentation lifelike and believable.

    Interesting speculation

    I quite like documentaries with very speculative premises. It was very interesting to explore this topic and see the future of the Earth's creatures. I don't know how scientifically accurate it is, though.

    Okay series

    This was an okay series, with very good CGI and a interesting premise, but that's all.

    It is about the animals of the future, that for some reason, look like they were aliens, or the aliens of Planet Pandora in "Avatar".

    The CGI was incredible, but I liked more "Alien Planet", because I love anything related with aliens and lifeforms of different places in the universe.

    However, this wasn't bad, actually it was pretty interesting and had some amusing moments.

    This show was okay. It was better than "Walking with Dinosaurs", but not so good as "Alien Planet".

    • Trivia
      Much like Dougal Dixon's book After Man: A Zoology of the Future (which served as an inspiration for the show), the series was highly popular in Japan, where people are very fond of speculative biology and strange creatures that existed in the past or may exist in the future. It even received an exclusive manga (comic) that adapted the series into more story-driven narratives.
