Earthlings Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
lornamd-1 Should be watched by everyone in the US and to people who want to know more about how animals are treated, as the things that happen in this film happen all over the world.
pavman_pavman After reading other members reviews of Earthlings that disagree with the content shown in this film as being propaganda to become vegan I myself questioned my decision to take part in a plant based diet with my family of 4. I agree that this film is very hard to watch because of its confrontational nature but it is essential to put yourself in the shoes of the Earthling being massacred for the financial gain of farmers, transporters, workers, chefs, big business and ultimately the consumer. Its fair to say that animals may suffer a worse fate decided by another animal through the natural survival of the fittest process, but most of these animals do not have a choice in there fate. They are bred by humans, they are enslaved by humans, they are used for the financial gain of humans and subjected to unspeakable cruelty by moraless humans. My family is not taking on a plant based diet because we are self absorbed and want attention but purely for the reason of not wanting to participate in the consumption of meat, dairy or eggs derived from an animal that is scared, being controlled and ultimately killed riving in pain.We as the dominate Earthlings and custodians of earth have to find it within ourselves to feel compassion and empathy towards creatures that find themselves in this position.Is becoming Vegan the answer??? I'm still not sure but what I am sure of is that my family will not be directly or indirectly responsible for what takes place daily on 1000's upon 1000's of kill floors and animal factory farms on this planet.In closing this film will either make the skeptic's take notice of what is happening around the world or it wont but watch it and you decide for yourself.
Karl Owens After seeing this I better understood the horrors men inflict on each other. Each film section - animal domestication, food, clothing, etc. - illustrates the theme of men's boundless arrogance and entitlement. There is an insanity in the workers directly involved, how could there not be? I felt compassion for them. There is second global insanity of humans not looking which I also understand. The scale of this suffering can not be taken in. Not only do we ignore the suffering, we take our sustenance from it and adorn ourselves in it. It makes the callousness to the genocide, starvation, and suffering of our fellow human beings understandable.No talking heads, statistics, historical context. It makes its point with undercover, raw footage of the animals in the factory system. It is nearly unbearable and not appropriate for children.
micuhow345 Some of this information I have come across in books, but that is nothing compared to the horror of watching it. I burst into tears repeatedly while watching it and had to take many breaks. This is not an easy film to watch, but the information in it is vital. I have nothing to add in terms of summary that others who have reviewed this film have not already said. This is an unflinching look at how humans treat other species. I simply wanted to thank everyone involved and everyone who reviewed it for their kind words. Part of me feels as though we just went through something together that hopefully can make us better people. I hope to see humans as a species mature in the future. Thank you.
