Member Rating:  
Director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) and producer Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator) team up to offer this candid snapshot of a single day on planet Earth. Compiled from over 80,000 YouTube submissions by contributors in 192 countries, Life in a Day presents a microcosmic view of our daily experiences as a global society. From the mundane to the profound, everything has its place as we spend 90 minutes gaining greater insight into the lives of people who may be more like us than we ever suspected, despite the fact that we're separated by incredible distances. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

If the comparison was for Koyanasqui or National Geographics I felt the intention fell short. But to sift through so much information then script it for viewing cohesively was admirable. I felt though a little more scrutiny could have been offered. Yes, it was slow or confusing but at times uplifting. I leave it to the viewer to decide but I would not give it three stars.

The idea is great but just boring.

Not worth viewing. It was boring. The concept was a good one, but the execution was poor.

Absolutely fascinating. Human beings doing human activities all over the world. What a great idea. We love our fellow travelers on the planet even more after viewing them living "life in a day!" Bravo!

If a person can remove themselves from being 'the center of the universe' and realize the world is a lot bigger with people having the same daily issues, you could enjoy how everyone deals with universal situations. We humans are the same but our cultures make us so very different. The question is if we're willing to accept/tolerate those differences and work together.

Wasn't interesting at all. Boring.

This was certainly an ambitious attempt, and I'm sure it was laborious sifting through thousands of videos, but the finished product doesn't live up to the promise. The final scene sums up the movie. Most of the days of our lives simply aren't that eventful or exciting.

I was disappointed with this movie, and was expecting something alot better than what was presented. Many of the scenes were just flat out boring. Would have also been nice to see locations around the world where scenes were filmed. Clearly did not live up to its hype!

This movie was edited very well and is very insightful, however, it needs to come with a better warning label. Some scenes are not for the faint and definitely not for children.
