"After buying and loving Blue planet, life in the undergrowth, life of mammals and life of birds, I wanted to try sothing different. So i searched for a DOCUMENTARY on the Amazon river. After being shown this DVD by the search engine, I took a chance and bought it. Little did I know that this DVD is extremely religious and trys to trick you into believing in intelligent design. Not only that, this DVD and its "creators" are extremely misleading from the begining, never being upfront about tryingto sway you from believing in evolution. Not only that the video comes with a thick catalog of other "informative" DVDs on intelligent design, so as to confuse you even more.
This DVD belongs in the religion section.

Classic Amazon

"This is a very nice & I think must have cd to my animal collection. It is fish jumping out of the water catching spiders hanging form trees, it has of course the ever scary & feared pirranah's. I love it becasue it is done in a very professional manner. The only bad thing I have to say is it leaves me wanting more or maybe that is a good thing you decide. I really wish it was like three hours long but you cant have everything you want or can you?"

Keep the secret going

"This isn't what you think it might be, the cover leads you to believe that piranha play a major role, I believe they mentioned them for about two minutes. The rest was on the life of the people who live on the Amazon, that's no secret. Once you've seen the National Geographic documentaries it's hard to settle for this level of mediocrity. Pass on this one, its generic and not worth the money you'll pay, new or used."

Pure creationism in this movie.

"I really dislike religious creationism in a scientific wrapping. When people try to remove scientific facts because of their religious belief, I find it a very serious matter. All people are welcome to express their religious beliefs, but when proven facts are denied just because of a persons religion, this is very serious for science and society. How is science thought to be possible when religious ideas are replacing proven facts?

The creationists are making movies just to spread their words. Ok, but then I will have the right to oppose these people! Modern genetics show the origin and relations between species, and is very hard to put aside. I will be carefull to keep away from creationist propaganda like this in the future."
