Genesis
Travel & ExplorationChaos, rebirth and catastrophes mark the history of Earth, yet mankind exists. 4.7 billion years of evolution condensed into a 24 hour metaphor reveal: We are children of galactic luck, born in the final second of eternity. As time travelers we immerse into unknown spheres. Unreal, mystical and daunting, yet full of breath-taking landscapes and creatures that truly existed before. We see the young, glowing earth surrounded by cosmic debris, fly over endless oceans of darkness and move through a magical underwater world. Emerging from the water an enchanted land unveils: a paradise of prehistorical jungle and giant insects, followed by mass extinction – until a new cycle starts that surrounds us with bombastic dinosaurs who conquer the earth, before meeting with extinction too. Then finally, we come face to face with our human ancestors, catching glimpses of their achievements and our legacy. What remains is an intense impression of the earth and the insurmountable

Downloading to Quest 3
I changed my review from one star to five. Originally, I could not download Genesis. After about the seventh try it started to download. The download is 4.8 Gb (it says 4.7 when the download starts). I liked the experience overall but only after downloading to use it.
A great documentary
The graphics and quality were amazing. It was a very immersive experience and very educational. I want to show it to my son soon.
It's pretty cool, but it needs fixes
It's a fantastic concept and the visuals are stunning. The film is only 13 minutes long, but it's perfectly reasonable for the price.
The downsides include the movement, which is nauseating even if you are used to the VR. And I found that some of the environments were too quick to end as I barely had time to just glance around. I also didn't enjoy that landscapes faded in and out blending with the new landscape. It was nauseating and it detracted from the story. However, those are easy fixes.
Overall, It's a great experience and I did enjoy it
Short
Coolest 13 minutes of your life but wish it was longer!
Wow
Wow wow wow, just a amazing wow
informative, visually appealing & cool
This is such a cool experience. This is the sort of thing I love showing new VR users. It is informative, visually appealing, and just plain cool.
As noted by others, there are a couple of scenes that are a little blurry, which is the only reason that I didn't give this five stars.
Yes, it is on the shorter side, but it still matches the price you pay. Definitely worth it. Just wish it was crystal clear throughout.
Hope more VR documentaries like this come out
