Like the other reviewer said this wasnt a good documentary. Theres something in this that could of been insightful but ends up being random boring.
A surprisingly absorbing documentary that tells the story of the strange experiment that took place in the Arizona desert in the early 1990s when eight volunteers were sealed inside an enormous dome, the Biosphere 2 (Biosphere 1 being the Earth), as a study of how humans, plants and animals might survive in future planetary exploration. The whole thing originated out of the 60s hippy counter culture under the vision of John Allen, a bizarre guru type character, which helped the later accusations that the entire experiment was the work of a cult. Of course the experiment largely failed due to simple things like the oxygen running low and accusations that the organisers cheated and of course tempers inside the dome soon deteriorated. The billionaire who provided the money eventually kicked the hippies out and bought in bankers. The overall interesting aspects are that the experiment tapped into the more serious issue of climate change and survival plans for humanity and the problem of profit over science. Interesting and well told story.
I love a good documentary - but this is the WORST I have seen in 50 years.
No information about what Daily life was like. Or were they paid ? Or what relationships were like. O thing about what life was like in the “spaceship”. The most boring documentary I have ever seen.
All they had were a few shots of the building ...... nothing about the weird hippies that were “ selected” to enter the project or the elephant in the room : sexual manipulation of young women .
Do not waste 2 hours or your life watching this rubbish.
