Metamorphosis

Now, this is how we inform people.

Just as a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly, our world is changing metamorphosing into something new with some destructive results. We see the loss of species, the devastation of cities and towns from forests fires, and the vanishing of ecosystems. Multiple stories are told, a harrowing tale of a mother driving into a forest fire to save her daughter and mother, artists putting statues in the most unusual places, and even a self preserving greenhouse in the middle of desert. While much of the information provided can feel daunting,

"Metamorphosis" provides solutions, results, and hope. Often documentaries of this topic come off preachy, depressing, and condemning, "Metamorphosis" rises above them by being informative and constructive. It doesn't spit out negative blame for the losses, but celebrates intellectual artists, inventors, and scientists that rise above the conditions and adapt and make changes for the better.

This is one of the most beautiful films I have seen all year. Every second treats your eyes to spectacular cinematography that will give BBC's Blue Planet and Earth documentaries a run for their money. Even when the subject matters gets into darker territories, the visuals are magnificent. Spellbinding and awe inspiring poetic control make this one worth seeing on the big screens.

Thankful that this exists.
