Dalbert Pringle Seriously, folks - I think that this documentary should be required viewing for any aliens ("green-minded" aliens, that is) who might be planning to invade Earth with the sole purpose of wiping out the entire human race.... 'Cause, if you ask me, I'm sure that after watching this documentary those aliens would be quite convinced that by annihilating the whole lot of us they'd be doing this planet a humongous favour. Indeed.And, with all of that in mind - This documentary (about the survival of the planet Earth, sans humans) certainly did lay it on extra-Extra-EXTRA thick when it came to telling us just how much man (and everything he's done) has totally fukked this planet beyond anything imaginable (outside that, of course, of a real-life, Sci-Fi/Horror show).Unfortunately, what the producers of "Aftermath" forgot to do was to offer us "disillusioned ones" some real hope that man just may turn his destructive ways around and finally get himself in tune with good, old Mother Nature (who has sure taken one helluva beating) and, thus, live happily ever after(math).Anyway - Regardless of all of the impending gloom and doom that seemed to prevail in "Aftermath", I still thought that it was well-worth a view (even though it was an extremely sobering view, at that).

Andyfro86 If you wanna know what the lousiest documentary can be like, watch this movie. I watched it with a friend, we actually had great fun watching it. i laughed myself to tears i tell you!Gimme three hours of wikipedia and i'll put together a better show. what i can't conceive is how national geographic actually funded this movie. i have lost all respect for them. completely unexpected epic fail.I just can't... words just aren't enough. you need to see it with your own eyes and judge it with your own brains. this is my first IMDb review ever, as some one else already stated in this thread. i really want to encourage people to watch this epic fail. i'll just leave the final quote of the movie. the conclusion. it was something like. the earth can survive without us but we can't survive without the earth...and it took an hour of nonsense to reach to this very obvious verdict. unbelievable!!!

jmdist Being aired on NATGEO, "Aftermath Population Zero" it must be factual, right???. Wrong!!! I first noticed that there was no mention of water expanding when frozen, causing concrete cracks to expand. Then they said that the cracks exposed the re-bar in the concrete to carbon dioxide, causing the re-bar to rust. ??? Excuse me, but air consists of only 0.038% carbon dioxide, but oxygen is about 20.95%. Rust is ferrous oxide. The oxygen in the air is going to contribute 500 times more to the rusting process than carbon dioxide. Then I remembered having heard "carbon dioxide" several times before the concrete part, and noticed "carbon dioxide" continuing to be mentioned again and again. It was then that I suspected that this was more an example of poor science and propaganda than factual. I lost interest, but do not recall any mention of plant-life absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen.

useless-id It was interesting.. however the documentary had a lot of flaws. The narration was very repetitive and was not constructed well at all.The worst thing about it was they only showed the effects in Northern America and parts of Europe. Absolutely no mention of the rest of the world whatsoever. Effects would be different in other parts of the world... It was just ignorant.Rather than repeating some of the same effects in the US they could have focused on effects in densely populated parts of the world like Mexico, China and India.... They talked so much about monuments like the Statue of Liberty... yet no mention of the Great Wall of China that has stood for thousands of years.... or the great Taj Mahal.As interesting as some parts were... there was just too many flaws for me to recommend this documentary to anyone else.I am sure most people who have seen this will agree with me.
