A stunning and interesting docu film. It's good that the filmmakers didn't judge the process of ruining the planet (they just documented it), but it's quite obvious that this process is one of the most devastating thing the human race has ever done to this planet.

Fantastic! A very sobering look at where we are headed and just how much momentum we have going behind us. 4.5 stars

Over the years, I've grown leery of the didactic nature of the documentary genre. What sets this piece apart is that both the photographer and the filmmaker have made a conscious effort not to politicize their subjects, while recognizing the inevitable subjectivity of the framed image. While I agree somewhat that the film could have worked without Burtynsky's narrative, it was minimal and at times informative.

I actually didn't care much for Burtynsky speaking parts, which actually takes the concentration out of the viewer. Besides, the movie was quite self explanatory in its depiction of the transfiguration of natural landscapes and the creation of artificial ones by men

i agree..."manufactured landscapes" is all about the photography..! wouldn't it be great if that travelling shot didn't stop and went all across china..in an endless loop..?
