Review of Life in a Day

Life in a Day (2011)
5/10
Sometimes OK is worse than bad

An intriguing idea, and the makers should be applauded for trying it, but I came away thinking - "That was just like watching someone else surf Youtube for 90 minutes". Some of the clips were amazing, moving, inspiring, but so are millions of clips already on Youtube, and I get to choose which ones I watch to match my tastes.

One major negative mark, the film contains 2 scenes of graphic animal slaughter, one is quite lengthy, I found this quite offensive, made me wish even more that I wasn't watching someone else's choice of clips.

It was OK though, it held my attention, it was superbly edited, just fundamentally flawed in its conception, an experiment gone astray, but still OK, but when a film costs so much to go and see, OK just isn't enough is it? Go surf Youtube instead.
