You won't be disappointed!

Best movie of this year hands down!

As Good As It Gets

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Leonardo DiCaprio narrates a documentary about the human destruction of the global environment. It looks at the entire history of human exploitation of the world's resources, its devastating effects and possible solutions. It concentrates on global warming with a large scattering of every scary environmental fears.There are way too many talking heads. Some faces are recognizable but most of them are unknown environmental scientists or writers. The scope of the movie is so vast that it becomes a laundry list of everything. For environmentalists, this is preaching to the choir. For opponents, this is a slick propaganda throwing everything into the stew presented by Hollywood. For those in between, it doesn't really convince but it summarizes. This is a repeat of 'An Inconvenient Truth' and then piles on everything else. There is just more stuff. I don't see this as anything new or convincing anybody not already convinced. There are so many issues being touched on that I think most independent viewers would throw up their hands and give up long before the end.

I was glad to see that this documentary covered just about every major environmental problem, including overpopulation, which is often left out of such presentations; it gets treated as somehow unavoidable.This film was themed like a number of Peak Oil documentaries that show the collision between human excess and natural systems, and repeatedly point out that attitudes need to change.Despite the usual hopeful pleas, you get a sinking feeling that not much is going to change because the momentum of economic growthism and consumerism is too strong. I see little reason for optimism when observing the shopaholic drones around me. I can see this triggering standard denial mechanisms among right-wingers who cling to religious dogma and dominion attitudes toward nature, which the film constantly dispels. I'm sure they think DiCaprio is just another Hollywood "elitist" with the luxury of having a good life while "honest working stiffs" just want to be left alone to pilfer nature and bring home a paycheck (the usual tunnel-visioned attitude).I wish some of the talking heads had singled out those types for criticism instead of dwelling on a few rotten politicians and corporate entities. Not all corporations are mindless. There are just certain people throughout history who've never respected nature. Those are the ones who need the biggest attitude adjustment (or maybe an intelligence pill).Still, I liked the overall coverage of issues. I would recommend this as a primer for those who (somehow) aren't aware of what people are doing to their only means of life-support.

i think that this film and all that global warming is one of the biggest lies ever ... film is very good made but it is one big lie. it might be an influence of pollution into global warming ... but not as much as they show us. if anyone want to know more about that ... just try to research. there is many many lie's in what American movie maker are poisoning us. (and they government), start to convince You with 2 titles for the start: zeitgeist: the movie and afterwards check 2nd part: zeitgeist: addendum. maybe there ios a little info about global warming, but if You seen this You might have a future need to see more of that kind of movie. Anyway ... good made film but i don't believe that this movie present real source of our problems ...

I just watched this and I must say, I was certainly already for environmental causes and considered myself to be adequately knowledgeable on global warming etc, but I had no idea! We are in a far worse state than most would be aware. This film takes you from the beginning of civilisation (to my disappointment, mainly focusing on evolution theory rather than creation - the reason I gave this 9 stars and not 10), then it shows the results of our way of life and frankly, it scares the viewer.Many notable scientists talk about where we are now, where we will be without any responsive action, and where we can be if we decide to take action.The film finishes on a relatively positive note, showing that if we act now, we can in fact make the necessary change. It certainly leaves you thinking about your own way of life and how you can change little things here and there to do you bit for humanity.I think every person needs to watch this as the issue effects us all. Don't think for a minute that global warming isn't real. Just watch the nightly news and you will see it in effect. It is real! Recommended to all!
