The Greatest Science Fiction Story Ever Told...

Spending time writing a lengthy review of this documentary is pointless. The visuals are perfectly artistic and still biologically accurate. The information is engaging and valid, the stories engrossing and exciting. This should be required viewing for all students before they graduate - it manages to boil down about 4 months of high school Biology into a three- part miniseries.

This is simply the most enthralling and important documentary I've seen since Planet Earth.

Excellent video for high school biology classes

This is my favorite video to show my Human Biology classes. Most of the students are seniors and they are definitely not bored. I show this during our unit on the immune system. I tell students beforehand that this plays a bit like a video game on steroids! It depicts the inner workings of the cell in a beautiful yet haunting way, so different from the images of Biology textbooks.

what about the t-cell

I really thought i had competance on the cellular basics, but that was 30 years or so ago. its a science fiction animated documentary on the universal cell, and its protective devices against virus, and a comprehensive introduction to the why what where and how there are viruses. extremely well made and will scare the guts out of every hypochndriac at the surface of this planet.

what i didnt like production wise where the filming of the interview object, they are filmed so close up and with such a shaky camera handling, that it made the grumpy old man feel nauseaus and sick, if it hadnt been for that it would have been a 10 for sure.
