So, I just finished watching Alien Planet, AKA "Satisfies my CGI Extraterrestrial Life Autism more than No Man's Sky ever could"
I'm in the mood for some of the same, but besides that and The Last Dragon, I can't seem to find anything that fits the bill. Any suggestions?

That recent movie, Arrival, wasn't actually half bad
You should read Expedition now that there's a serviceable PDF of it online and you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a copy.
Not sure but you might like this
More details please?
Wayne D. Barlowe's "Expedition" the narrative art book that Alien Planet is based on. There are more environments, weirder creatures, and everything's greatly expanded on.
Try Nemo Ramjet's "all tomorrows" too, which is in a similar line of thinking. Both should be in the first few google results.
Expedition is the Wayne Barlowe book that Alien Planet is based on. Goes into a lot more depth on all the creatures, and has a bunch that the show doesn't get into. Also gives you a better sense of scale for how big everything is from Barlowe's illustrations, since they depict him in his little explorer-pod encountering the creatures instead of the drones who we have no idea how large they are. Like, you know Eosapiens, the intelligent aliens discovered at the very end of Alien Planet? They're a lot bigger than you think they are. Pic related isn't from the book, it's fanart, but it shows the scale.
The Great Martian War 1913–1917
I'll definitely check it out.
I'm also looking for Sci-To Society docudramas, if that's a thing.
I don't think anybody "likes" this.
Only video material, or writing also applies?
I'll take what I can get.
"All Tomorrows"
(fill the blanks) sivatherium narod ru library Ramjet 01_en
"Paralell Botany"
sivatherium narod ru library Lionni 01_en
Speculative evolution in general Y/N?
Speculative Evolution, Speculative society, Speculative technology, but really, Anything Sci-fi or Fantasy sounds good. I probably should have phrased the OP to say that I'm looking for Veeky Forums related docufictions as a whole.
...
In this link you can find:
>Dougal Dixon “After Man: A Zoology of the Future”
>Dougal Dixon “The New Dinosaurs. An Alternative Evolution”
>Dougal Dixon “Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future”
>Leo Lionni “Parallel Botany”
>Nemo Ramjet “Alltomorrows”
>Wayne Douglas Barlow “Expedition”
>Stephen Baxter “Evolution”
And less known works of the sort. I recomend Snaiad and Furaha

This is a lovecraftian story told through blog entries:

The PDF is a story of comecy and horror that I like.
All Tomorrows is a wild fucking ride.

Well, there's the Speculative Evolution forum for all your SpecEvo needs. I suggest the Sheatheria and Serrina projects, both by the same guy, fascinating stuff in those. There's also, of course, the works of Dougal Dixon. Kind of the guy who started the whole SpecEvo thing. The one you'd probably like best is Man After Man, with is documentary-style narrative. After Man and The New Dinosaurs are written more like zoology books. Still cool stuff, but doesn't follow the weird animals as characters. Man After Man examines the future evolution of a world where all large animals have died off and as such environmentalists have had to resort to modifying the genome of the only available creature left to them: humans. So it charts the evolution of all these sub-sapient human-derived creatures over millions of years. Some of them re-evolve sapience. A lot don't. All of them look eerie and just a little too far into the Uncanny Valley. It's cool stuff.
>tfw I actually own a physical copy of Expedition
I do have another pdf that was all the rage on Veeky Forums a few months ago.
What the hell is that?
Knowing Veeky Forums this is either stupidly brilliant or brilliantly stupid.
Even though its not mocking the term is
"Mockumentary"
even though it's not related at all, let's praise Spinal Tap
Can I have a link to the serviceable PDF?
I watched some alien speculation several years back (10+) on the telly. I remember some giant mushroom species and what looked like a metal insect with lasers (?). Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Describe more.
>on the telly
Go home britbong
Don't be rude, user.
Post monsters

>like nothing the world has ever seen
>half the creatures are copy-pasted prehistoric animals
"The future is wild" could be what your looking for its a documentary about what life could be life a long time in the future if humans vanished
How would one go about making a setting based on all tomorrows?
Ever hear of this, OP?
en.m.wikipedia.org
I have it on DVD, and it's such a charming watch.
OH FFUCK
Lucifer Niggerbastard, I haven't read that since I was a Freshman in highschool! Shit has it been 10 years already, that is an old ass story btw. Never finished reading it.
The ballad of Lucifer Niggerbastard is one of the greatest pieces of early Veeky Forums literature. Not sure if this is the original tale of Niggerbastard or a sequel.
That's so retarded it might even exist in reality
just read anything by Douglas Dixon
I don't know what to think. Reading it was like an endurance test except you literally can't stop or look away. Having come to the end of it I am glad it's over because it's awful, but I want more.
This story has broken me Veeky Forums. I will never be the same.
*Dougal Dixon
You aren't broken.
Not yet.
Highbrow literature
There is always more shit to read, user
Moar?
I remember this series called The Future Is Wild from years back, it might be worth checking out.
>In this link you can find:
None of those listed, in fact. Do you get off on being a fucktard?
Couldnt find the sequel to The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra, The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra: Miami, but i did find this thing.
monoskop.org
Linking because its too big for uploads
I'm reading it right now.
I've found and read something more fucked than the Niggerbastard. It's time to die now.
Nat Geo's When Aliens Attack is worth a watch.
What the hell even birthed the creation of this beast?
I'm going to print this fucker out from the unsecured wifi printer in the library over the road.
Over, and Over again.
3500 people from Veeky Forums wrote this book. Its in print. You can buy a physical copy
What happened?
In general I mean. To the world.
We are witnessing a repeat of the fall of the Roman empire.
I remember the Soviet Union falling. This will be the 2nd great Empire I will witness die. I always assumed the next one to implode would be China but I don't give that more than 50 years tops so I might just about be able to watch 3.
And the Goths are coming back.
The fuck did I just look at
spoilering pdfs is fucking bush league
Weren't they bigger in the 80s, the goths?
I think we're thinking of different Goths.
Gyrosrpinter was the shit.
I loved that docu when I was a kid, it fascinated me. Sure it's pretty autistic, but it made me start to appreciate alternate scifi settings.
Also, Wayne Barlowe is GOAT.
