If this was a plan to educate us about the type of bug species, they have done a good job.

Im so glad this documentary is finally getting the attention it deserves

[TheShawVMedia]

9:53... Took me out! LOL.. It can speak.. and has a PHONE!? 😂😂

[rashido_grey]

Second generation? If they've evolved already that far it's way beyond "second generation".

The first thing to mind when seeing the roaches, 'Bug Lightyear'

[damionkeeling]

Why do they get so big? The moss or whatever else producing oxygen stays the same but even if the cockroaches are genetically modified the lack of breathable air should keep them smaller as being larger requires more air. If anything they should evolve to be smaller.

Can't get over how dumb the idea of them evolving into humanoids is.

I remember watching the anime of this when it came out, which is probably so much better and was surreal and almost scary. I never even knew they made a live action movie until today.

It's nice that the cockroach people have learned to use cell phones. Now they can order stuff.

[obsidian]

Yeah...I remember watching the anime this movie is based on a few years back and I kept thinking: "There isn't enough RAID in the known universe to take care of those Roaches!"

[oatlord]

Lol. They spend hundreds of years terraforming. Launch a bunch of misfits to spray toxic chemicals to undo what they've done.

Why does Honda explain his plan to the crew? What does that accomplish? And why does he want that 2nd Gen egg? If the 1st Gen bugs are all anti-human due to genetic memory, how could he possibly control these new bugs? And if his goal was to retrieve the egg, why did he lie to all but two of the crew about the mission's goal? He didn't even need to tell the crew he wanted to create super soldiers. If he just said "I want the egg to study it because i'm a scientist" then it's unlikely anyone would rebel against him!

"In the 21st century, overpopulation has become an unsolvable problem." The irony if this being _a Japanese_ film.

Terraformars is a very good "Nat-Geo" anime. Teaches you all about special bugs/creatures that you seldom hear about.
"Not this live adaption though."

[hawaiianpunch]

Why would you send stinkin' roaches there? It's bad enough that they're all over the place here.

[christoforos]

Why is everyone wearing space suits but some random dude named Lee is wearing tribal clothes?

[SteffanBlanco]

The anime and manga Terraformar are actually good. The backstories and their powers are really cool. Pretty sad stories too tho

[ericbana]

So they had technology to send people to mars but didn't bother to scan mars for life forms

[steventyler]

Do you ever mention the names of the movies you recap?

[Immortal_BP]

the anime version of this is pretty awesome, i was younger when i watched it so maybe its not as good as i remember
