Noah (2014)
Worst Film I've ever seen! Don't waste your time!
The plot makes no sense, stone transformers trying to rescue man from God, the tribe of the eastenders. A stowaway on Noah's ark! Terrible acting of a plotless movie with apalling dialogue!
I can understand some stoned pot head thinking this was cool and it made sense in their head, but why anyone else would agree with that is beyond me! Why companies would give money to it! Why actors would take part in it!
When there are so many great stories to be told well, why on earth movie studios are making this total rubbish, instead of good content? Do they really think that the viewing public is so stupid?
Total waste of time!
Trump: An American Dream (2017)
Not a Documentary! Don't wast your time!
Starts by saying, we'll talk to friends and enemies, but then within 10 minutes, is 95% negative, with ominous, thriller style, shadowy music, for over-effect, and effectively says, he's best friends with the devil! Had to turn it off, as it was clearly the just selectively edited soundbites, put together by someone who clearly is unable to make a documentary, as they have no objectivity and no filmic integrity! Rubbish!
National Geographic: Inside 9/11 (2004)
Not very well researched
I'm not sure if it's because they had a lot of information to include and left out things they thought may confuse people, like Ronald Regan calling people from all over to come and support his friends in Afghanistan, the Mujahedin, (Operation Cyclone 1979-1989), then... American policy having moved on, renaming them the Taliban (now the enemy), sounds like the plot of "1984", or it's just people making a 'documentary' about something they know nothing about and doing a quick wiki search, but this is a very uninformed work, which I'm not sure I would categorise as a documentary.
If you want to watch something which will give you a balanced view of world events and help you have an informed position, then I suggest watching something by 3 times Bafta Winner, Adam Curtis, of the BBC, such as "Bitter Lake" or "The Power of Nightmares" Or something by another award winner, John Pilger, such as; "The War You Don't See" The above are considered works, which have taken many months or even years to develop, by renowned journalists, not just a hodge podge of a 3rd hand story some producer/director is doing as a quick job.
Don't waste your time on this, as I did, tutting all the way through at the incomplete information and very blinkered view, or perhaps ignorance of the makers.
I'm giving this 1/10 as it calls itself a documentary, and therefore implies it is a well researched piece of work, which you can reply upon to help develop an informed position, but falls far short of that, not to mention the trivialization of, or blindness to, what would now be classified an Hate Crime, or at least a racially motivated crime, the throwing of the shoes of Muslim Students into a lake while they were at prayers, as a 'practical joke'.
Use your time well and watch; Anything by Adam Curtis of the BBC, such as "Bitter Lake" or "The Power of Nightmares" Or John Pilger "The War You Don't See"
Perhaps with a little more understanding of one another's cultures and people being better informed and holding their governments to greater account, so they don't keep making the same 'mistakes' over and over, on our behalf, we may eventually have a more peaceful world.
