I read SamWest3's review and have to question if he even saw the film. I did, and it doesn't portray Charles Darwin in a negative way, at all. It does, however, make those people who worship Darwin look a little goofy. If you go into the theatre with an open mind, this movie is thought-provoking. Species evolve over time, that's obvious. But we've learned a lot about biology and the cell since 1859. And it raises some questions. How did life get here (on earth) in the first place? Darwin didn't know then, and the scientific community still doesn't know. Yet they seem determined to accept some of the most outlandish theories rather than explore the possibility that some external force may have been responsible.
