Full Plot Details

We are in the midst of a global crisis of perspective. We have forgotten the undeniable truth that everything is connected. PLANETARY is a provocative and breathtaking wakeup call, a cross continental, cinematic journey, that explores our cosmic origins and our future as a species. PLANETARY is a poetic and humbling reminder that it's time to shift our perspective. PLANETARY asks us to rethink who we really are, to reconsider our relationship with ourselves, each other and the world around us - to remember that: we are PLANETARY. In a stunning visual exploration, the film interweaves imagery from NASA Apollo missions with visions of the Milky Way, Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas, and the cacophonous sounds of downtown Tokyo and Manhattan, with intimate interviews from renowned experts including astronauts Ron Garan and Mae Jemison (the first African American woman in space), celebrated environmentalist Bill McKibben, National Book Award winner Barry Lopez, anthropologist Wade Davis, to National Geographic Explorer Elizabeth Lindsey, and Head of the Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu school, the 17th Karmapa. They shed new light on the ways our worldview is profoundly affecting life on our planet.

Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 6/10 by Daniel EaganDespite its good intentions, Planetary speaks only to those who already agree with the filmmakers.
The Guardian - 6/10 by Leslie FelperinThe opening section, mixing shots of the Earth from outer space with recollections from astronauts about what it felt like to see it for real, is deeply moving and beautifully edited. However, once the film settles into a groove of guilt-tripping the viewer and trots out talking head after talking head...the experience grows numbingly monotonous and painfully sanctimonious.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 4/10 by Josh TerryIt makes for a film that is beautiful to watch and interesting to think about if taken with the right grain of salt.
Variety - 3/10 by Dennis HarveyDespite all the globe-encircling eye candy, there’s a certain monotony of pacing imposed by the nonstop spoken input of various elders whose wisdoms seldom come in anything chewier than (at most) paragraph-length soundbytes.
Austin Chronicle - 3/10 by Robert FairesTheir calm, measured words, the Human Suits' tranquil score, and the film's steady, even pace almost promote a meditative state -- fitting, perhaps, for receiving Planetary's message.
The Dissolve - 3/10 by Kate ErblandPlanetary’s message is repetitive without being enlightening, and the film and its assorted participants insist on hitting the same beats without pause, until the concept loses all meaning.
User Review - 10/10 by Steven RI enjoyed this extended contemplation of our place on the extraordinary planet earth shown through gorgeous images and told through the thoughtful, articulate words of leading philosophers, spiritual teachers, anthropologists, writers and astronauts. It's more important than ever to take the time to connect with our home and find together a way to protect it and live sustainably.
User Review - 10/10 by Barbara HBeautiful. If we could all understand the message in this movie, we would come together instead of dividing ourselves.
User Review - 6/10 by Ian GOne of the cinematography highlights from the 2015 edition for the Hod Docs film fest which showcases some never before captured celestrial shots in orbit of our fragile little planet with the latest digital cameras which capture some amazing images of the northern lights, to the fragile horizon line of the protective shield of atmosphere that surrounds us as well as various other phenomenon. The content is nothing necessarily new since there is a lot of films out there covering the subject that this is the only planet we got and take care of it. More meant to be seen of the biggest screens possible for the visuals and enjoy the marvel of how this tech has improved over time.
