Despite the advent of science, literature, technology, philosophy, religion, and so on -- none of these has assuaged humankind from killing one another, the animals, and nature. UNITY is a film about why we can't seem to get along, even after thousands and thousands of years.

While I was initially attracted to this due to its huge cast, it really is so much more than that. Guessing who was who quickly faded away as the actual story took all of my attention, and it really is amazing. It's emotional and powerful, and although I've thought about it for the past few hours, not a second of it comes off as unnecessary. I urge every single one of you who's reading this to check this out, it's not something that can go unwatched.
this was heavy.
This documentary was so beautiful made and I can’t even count the times I cried.
It truly makes you think about life and people themselves.
I also read a lot of comments wich are mostly about the slaughter houses shown in this (when there was a lot more actually) and some of the comments just were incredibly dumb.
I don’t think we should go around telling people how they should live and what they should eat.
I’m not gonna hold an lecture on why you should go vegan/vegetarian or simply shrink your meat/animal products consumption , and why it’s better etc. because that’s an decision everyone should make for themselves.
I just want people to stop taking…
I saw this as part of a one night only "worldwide" screening event last night, in a room full of vegans and AR activists (myself included, of course). I have no idea what they thought of the movie, but this thing is just atrocious. It is literally the last AR film I would show somebody if I was trying to educate them about why animals are deserving of moral consideration. It takes the raw visceral (in the most literal sense of the term) power of Earthlings (same director) and dilutes it with the worst kind of pseudoscientific nonsense. I was waiting for a section about the healing power of energy crystals, but I guess the director wanted to draw the line somewhere.
If you're looking to make your own Unity at home, here's the recipe: 1 part powerful documentary footage of animal suffering, 6 parts inane psychobabble, 3 parts random stock footage. Garnish with 100 celebrity narrators.
we all know why i watched whatever this is
Unity could have been talking about the meaning of life for all I know (I think it actually might have been at one point) but I was distracted for the entire runtime playing the 'Name the Celebrity Narration' game. Having 100 'important' people narrating a 99-minute documentary may sound like a good gimmick but it's a very distracting experience for a film that tries to pack the entire history of the universe into one and a half hours or so.
A worthwhile watch, but forceful and manipulative more than any documentary I've seen in the past year.
Please NO.
... Well that made me feel like a terrible human being. Although not incorrect with much of what it said, overly preachy and forceful. Present the info and let people decide for themselves. Not a doc I'd recommend.
i did stop watching bc i couldn't handle what i was seeing
I really enjoyed this. A bit less brutal than Earthlings. I love the narration and would like to just have it on audio to listen to. It's tough to read all the cynical reviews of this film and Earthlings, saying they have no substance, but are just gory vegan propaganda. I couldn't disagree more. I think they are very successful in what they set out to do, affect your mind through your emotions. There's nothing wrong with having a point-counterpoint argument and reasoned debate about these issues, but that was not the point of these films. Some of the criticisms of Earthlings said that it was one-sided. What other side should have been presented? That's it's OK to kill and…
felt like being back in high school with a substitute teacher
Hmm sounded like there were too many narrators here. Maybe should've selected just one only. Still an ok documentary.
