Dream Big: Engineering Our World

Bem fofinho, curtinho e levinho, com a presença das crianças e várias engenhosidades magnífica geradas por mentes brilhantes produzidas por mãos geniais... Trilha sonora divina, "One Day" toca minha alma e coração, e cita os meninos fantásticos do filme "Spare Parts", lindo e emocionante...

This was great! It's inspiring and shows you what engineers do, and why they're vital to society.

Pésimo, mala información, mal documentado, grabaciones sobre actuadas, mala música, mala edición, historias sin conexión que resuelven problemas que no plantean, cursi, sin sentido.

Great and inspiring for young engineers! Everyone should watch this.

Not a movie about engineering. It's a movie about girls in engineering. Which is fine, if you're a girl. Yet one more thing for girls in a universe full of this sort of thing. No thanks.

Dream Big is visually appealing (it better be on a screen this size and in 3D - lol), has an nice accompanying sound track, and we learn of and see a lot of cool things that engineers do in designing buildings, bridges and various other amazing structures, including a cool look into the future of technology. All of this is presented with the subtle but obvious effort by the producers, and science and engineering societies that funded this film, to emphasize female and minorities accomplishments in engineering, presumably to increase the number of girls and minorities that enter the profession, by showing . . . pretty much nothing but girls and minorities achievements in engineering. I kind of suspected we were going in that direction from the beginning, but all doubt was removed when we accompany one of the featured engineers (female of course) to visit an elementary classroom that shockingly has 7 or 8 girls and no boys. And one story goes so far that even though it's main point was to emphasize minority Hispanic accomplishments in engineering it primarily featured a female Hispanic, even though her role on the team that was featured was highly suspect as she wasn't even able to attend the Science and Technology Robot competition at Cal Santa Barbara. If she wasn't part of the team, why even feature her. Now increasing girls in science and technology is all good, i myself have a niece that is an engineering major; however, i seriously doubt we need to go to these lengths in the year 2017 to pretend girls don't already have the self-esteem and empowerment and support in every conceivable area to make these choices as it is without a 45-min feel good infomercial. I have two boys that could've identified and been inspired by a male's story if the producers would've felt that possible with at least 1 of the 3 featured "real-world" individuals. I have an Asian wife that could've taken pride in showing an Asian engineer's (heck, even female) achievement, especially since one part of the film was focused on Shanghai. Oh but that's right, boys and Asians don't need there self-esteem stroked supposedly. We don't care about them because we only care with creating some sort of equal representation that may never happen for any number of reasons, and to give them any credence might only make the gap wider. The films itself is great as far as the visuals and overall presentation, just remove the "gender game" and minority politics and quite pretending that women and minorities need to be motivated with subliminal messages to achieve.

This is not a film about engineering, it is a film promoting engineering to girls in grade school. The promotional description gives the misleading idea that this is the story of big projects and that it is suitable for adults. I'd rate it at PG-13 because anybody older than thirteen is likely to find it condescending. So my issues with the film are not with its craft or content, both of which are good, but with the film's intended audience and its misleading summary. My two cents, your mileage may vary.

Wonderful movie showing the great projects and ideas that civil engineers and engineers design and build. Also the role of students and young engineers in developing engineering ideas and innovations. You leave this movie inspired and excited about the possibilities in civil engineering. The movie has also been translated into 4 languages and is being shown world wide. Every elementary, middle school or high school student interested in engineering must see this movie.

Fascinating and dynamic look at engineering.

Such an awesome movie. Literally for the entire family. Super inspiring for kids, fun for adults, and educational for the classroom. Can I go back to school and become an engineer?
