A post-apocalyptic documentary with a surprisingly up-beat subtext. I enjoyed it very much.

It was definitely far too long, and slack space was in-filled by repeated use of CGI effects. This was a shame, and down-valued what I thought was an intelligent, entertaining and well-crafted feature.

I have become weary of dumumentaries that appear to suppose a typical audience IQ in double figures. This one was hardly rocket science, but a sufficient sprinkling of informative worthies were courted for their opinions. And this, a well-paced narration, excellent CGI effects mingled with real-life photography resulted in a superior docu-drama. It was timely as well, because it is becoming increasingly evident that we lack the behavioural and political wherewithal to constrain our excesses and that nature must inevitably intercede.

The uplifting - and at the same time, humbling - element of the programme was the finiteness of our artifacts and the ephemeral nature our all the things we hold in such high esteem and pride. Ten millennia and we're indistinguishable from the dust. Ashes to ashes, and all that.

I watched it when it first aired and It was really interesting and fairly awesome. I think the entire thing kind of reinforces my not being religious. I mean 10,000 years after we all die all of our buildings fall down, all of our paper rots away, and the entire place is all grass again. Plus, from the documentary, if you took the entire history of planet Earth and made it into a 24 hour day humans would only make up 30 seconds of that day. Our entire human existence is 30 seconds out of a full 24 hour day yet the world is here for us and made for us? Please.

We're just not that special or important. Probably the creatures with the highest intelligence that will ever walk the face of the planet but that's about it. The world wasn't designed for us, we're just here.

After Cable TV allowed many kinds of channels driven to all ages and so wide range of entertainments, History, Discovery and Natgeo has been searching for most craziest matters ever had imagined, then appears a offbeat subject to fill the program schedule, this first episode around 90 minutes was base from an upcoming series, this interesting subject deserves to think about it, how would be the world if all mankind disappeared somehow, it's doesn't matter at all, but about the Cities, the buildings, the bridges, the subways, anyway all over the world, straight up l suppose apart how bizarre it could be, this is true and exciting possibility to discuss even if it faces as rarely possible to happen in near future, indeed a valuable Doc!!
