Synopsis

Bill Nye is retiring his kid show act in a bid to become more like his late professor, astronomer Carl Sagan. Sagan dreamed of launching a spacecraft that could revolutionize interplanetary exploration. Bill sets out to accomplish Sagan's mission, but he is pulled away when he is challenged by evolution and climate change contrarians to defend the scientific consensus. Can Bill show the world why science matters in a culture increasingly indifferent to evidence?

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
drtbkingfun So good. This is a dynamic story told of the trials and triumphs of the character and man. This documentary was everything I hoped it would be. You folks have done it - changed the world!
tiffanyfloria Bill Nye the science guy was a staple in my youth. If I was home from school, PBS was on and I was watching Bill Nye. He was a part of my inspiration to go on and become involved in science. This documentary takes a personal approach to looking at Bill Nye as a Science Advocate, and less so about the kids science show host. It is about his shift in his role of impact on the world. I feel it is that this documentary is to let the kids who grew up with him, that he is now focusing on us yet again. His goal now is to educate the generation who watched his shows, who have now grown and have families of their own - to be sure that the importance of science, and evidence, and questioning the world around you. So that we, can then make sure to impress that importance to our own children. Well done, and worth watching.
david-147-522928 The cinematography is brilliant! And as a science evangelist, Bill Nye has been educating the Millennial Generation for the last 20 years. Through his beloved and highly educational mega-hit television series from the 1990s, Bill Nye made the wonder and awe of science entertaining and digestible for millions of millennials, inspiring many to pursue careers science, technology, engineering and math. In the years following his television show, Bill has entered the political arena, defending evolution against steadfast creationists and fighting tirelessly to maintain the integrity of science as it becomes threatened by profit-driven, politically servile decision- making. To Bill, science is "the best idea we've ever had as a species."
John Fix This entertaining and informative documentary provides a fairly complete picture of Bill Nye, including his childhood, education, the creation of "Bill Nye, The Science Guy" television show, and his current activities. The filmmakers were given tremendous access and also given final cut on content decisions, and this leads to several personal revealing moments that were obviously uncomfortable for Nye. In addition to the personal moments there are a number of fascinating sequences. We get a nice peek behind the scenes at his two interactions with Ken Hamm from Answers in Genesis. We also get to see his work with the Planetary Society on the design and launch of a solar sail propelled space probe, and we follow Nye as he takes a trip to a glacier and talks to scientists about ice core research.Nye and the filmmakers confront the climate change controversy head-on which leads to some uncomfortable moments. The film definitely promotes the scientific consensus that human activity is contributing to climate change, but it also gives opponents a decent amount of screen time. Bottom line, an entertaining documentary that covers both personal and professional sides of Bill Nye and lets us see the man behind the bow tie and lab coat.
