earth 2100
So out of curiosity, I recorded Earth 2100 last week. Finally got around to watching it and…well wow. It was very powerful and the art was amazing. It tells the story of a fictional future through expert accounts as well as (and most interestingly) through a graphic novel. There were some obvious fear tactics involved (a mob attacking a gas clerk that ran out of fuel, borders collapsing and soldiers opening fire on droves of people trying to come in to the US, that sort of thing) – not that in the situation that they were painting those things wouldn’t have happened, but it was super intense to watch. Here’s the first act:
I enjoyed it, I learned a lot, and again – the art was amazing.
Here are Part 1 and Part 2 on hulu. You’ll need ABC’s plugin to watch, but if the teaser got you interested, watch it.
