Congratulation, Alien Planet, you’re a real winner. So, in the end, we’ve got zero science education and zero entertainment. Oh, and since you are going to make up a bunch of aliens, one would think you would put some effort into making them look interesting, but nooooo, their design is absolute crap too. It looked like shit in 2005, it looks like shit today. In fact, the little “it’s a real documentary!” gimmick gets boring pretty fast, and the CGI looks like shit. It’s not more science-based than Avatar, it’s just much less good-looking and exciting. The entire show is even more sterile since not only they’re making up the organisms, they’re making up their whole fucking world.

Biological evolution always defies our imagination, it doesn’t matter how plausible or fantastic your fictional creatures look and behave, we have the capacity to foresee certain patterns of adapatation to certain environments, but said capacity is, as for now, quite limited.

I don’t know if Alien Planet (2005) had some pretense of being taken seriously and having a scientific foundation (I think it had, given all the retarded interviews with people like Michio Kaku, the living parody of a scientist, and Stephen Hawking, who is clearly a biologist) what I know is that if you want to make up a fictional planet and all the organisms living on it, what comes out can’t be realistic in any way. Their concept is dumb and their execution is worse. Fuck them to the hellish depths of the abyss. Here’s the second part of the Mockumentaries series, and man, fuck these two.
