Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
KJ Moodie This 'documentary' is an absolute disgrace, the majority of its time was spent trying to undermine the character of Charles Darwin, his work was never presented in its own light, but was constantly tainted with Creationist misdirections. A large portion of time was spent trying to discredit uniformitarianism, a concept that Charles Darwin had learned from reading the works of Charles Lyell. The film makers frequently made allegations that Darwin was unduly influenced by Lyell and by his own Grandfather, and often had Creationists on their payroll come and say things like "he (Darwin) had preconceived ideas" or would mention "Darwin's devotion to Charles Lyell".The idea of catastrophism was emphasized every few minutes, with frequent references to earthquakes, floods and rapid continental shifts. There is a strong emphasis on the assertion that there is some kind of debate within science about the age of the earth and about whether evolution occurred. This however is not the case, Scientists are unanimous in accepting evolution as the explanation for the biodiversity on earth, and there isn't a credible scientist on the planet that would take young-earth creationism seriously. The people that made this film exist only on the very fringes, they will constantly make accusations that there is a conspiracy within science to silence them, but this isn't true. Young Earth Creationism is not scientifically supported at all, and this film is a prime example of that, they have to resort to character assassinations to try and convert people.
sikkemak Throughout the documentary, and interspersed with beautiful footage of the places to which it refers and several re-enactments, leading evolutionist and creationist scholars present their understanding of Darwin's challenges. The viewer is left questioning the validity of Darwin's theory, and wondering whether there is a better "grand narrative" than evolution, with which to understand life and origins. The documentary does not present itself as a creationist production. The Voyage can serve well as a discussion starter in the context of an apologetics or science context dealing with origins, and is recommended for such purposes. (Pre-) college students and their parents, and those with similar interests can benefit from discussing the documentary–and should count on delving deeper into the issues it presents.
earlytorise The movie was made to show how and why Darwin had the thoughts he did and how through the passing of time some of his thoughts should be looked at more closely. I and everyone I showed the movie to like it and caused them to think the only ones that did not like it were those who were looking for definitive answers to their preconceived ideas whether for or against Evolution or Creation. I think this film is a must for all on either side of the debate. The anger I saw against it was from those who did not like the honest challenge it presented. We need more films like it to cause people to think and be entertained at the same time for all ages.
ipav I didn't get all of the film when I first saw it (maybe I failed the IQ test :) so I watched it again. Each time I watched it my admiration for this film grew. I know the people who made this film and they would have meticulously researched it. They have shown a perspective of Darwin that I don't think has ever been made before. So it's about time we saw something which gives another angle to Darwin which is also true and gives us food for thought. The concept of the film is brilliant - but I don't want to give too much away. It has been made by scientists so expect technical terms. It is so refreshing to have a film which challenges our preconceptions and beliefs instead of toeing the evolutionary party line.
