2022: The Year from Space

About This Movie

2022: The Year from Space is an intriguing documentary that merges satellite imagery with some of the biggest events of the year. It’s fascinating in how it offers this distant, almost detached perspective on human struggles and triumphs — war in Ukraine, the climate crisis, and yes, even the post-Covid festivities at Glastonbury. The pacing varies; some moments linger, allowing you to absorb the gravity of the scenes, while others transition briskly, almost overwhelming. The way it showcases practical effects through the lens of technology is striking, giving viewers a unique take on everyday realities. No flashy narration, just the images and the themes they evoke, leaving room for personal interpretation. It’s a solid piece for anyone interested in the intersection of nature and humanity, or those who appreciate a more observational style of storytelling.

Noteworthy for its observational style.Strong theme of contrasts between nature and human events.Unique use of satellite imagery for storytelling.
