For this film, I don't think it is necessary to care whether it reflects the relationship between the earth and human evolution as introduced. Introductions are all written by people, and whether a film is good or bad is a matter of opinion.
As a purely documentary film, it is enough.
If the earth is hundreds of years old, how should we observe the human beings in this era? If the video data can be preserved for hundreds of years, it would be good to watch this film. It has now been 20 years since the original record. In just 20 years, what has not changed in this world is still the same, and what has changed has been an earth-shaking change.
In 1992, human beings of all skin colors, all kinds of strange behaviors, all kinds of phenomena, etc. living on this earth were all recorded in this documentary. Although it is a drop in the ocean, it cannot cover everything, but it is of great significance to commemorate.
Besides, for such a big subject of recording human history, we can't demand a director and a few cameramen to do a perfect job. Relying on a documentary, I think it is very remarkable that a director can leave such a comprehensive record of human history.

The perfect lens movement, the lens and the switching between the lenses are full of metaphors, as well as the foil of music, suitable for meditation in the middle of panic. Life and death, authenticity, modernity, panic, all kinds of contradictions and conflicts are intertwined, the state apparatus, war, and rapid development. How to deal with the crisis of the soul, if we slow down the pace of destruction, we need to think together.

It is nothing more than a collection of slides of various natural landscapes and cultural sacred places. It is the kind of film that does not require a director or scriptwriter, but only requires a reliable photographer and sufficient financial support to make a film.
