Chaos, 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

While i admit that i liked the overall story and the message given in this 13 minute movie, the image quality was so underwhelming and if the quality was low throughout every part maybe it wouldn't bother me this much but it was inconsistent, some parts were good but some parts were like i had the worst vision ever. There are apps on the market that offer 10 times the quality while taking up a quarter of the space (4.6gb). And, the image becomes scrambled when looking down or moving your head is impossible as it's very disorienting and completely breaks the immersion. I appreciate the effort and would like to see other experiences like this but i would also appreciate some consistency and good quality.b
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.
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 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
Coolest 13 minutes of your life but wish it was longer!
Wow wow wow, just a amazing wow
