How sad is this?

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Look, majority of us writing reviews here will never see full impact of Global Warming. We'll be long dead by the time anything happens to this world and I for one, don't care what happens after I'm dead.Having grown up in third world, still living there and living in suffering with few moments of joy day by day, I have no intention of NOT enjoying my life (whatever the cost to the environment) to please pretentious westerners who suddenly realizes that they have been destroying earth all this time to become to so called "developed world".That said, this movie shows you nice visuals. Including large ice-bergs breaking left and right. Very breathtaking visuals. And I found the human element (knee problems) OK as well, it didn't distract me even though, the interviews with wife and daughter were entirely pointless and could've been cut for more footage of the ice itself.Too bad the movie does jack about actually explaining to the viewer why it's all happening (unless you already know from other sources, like I do). "It's happening cause of Global Warming." is the only thing this movie tells you. And you know what? This is what the guy behind this documentary is hoping. He wants to show the idiots out there ice-melting to basically layman the Global Warming for them. I get it.But it won't do jack. We'll be dead faster from Islamic terrorism than Global Warming. I am pretty sure religion and wars will be still bigger threat to extinction than melting ice millions of miles away from your home.

I first saw this at my city's International Film Festival, then later thankfully I was able to watch it with my son, who was 9 at the time, when at a friend's place for one of the big 3 holidays, it was on Netflix. Brilliantly conceived and carried out, over a long stretch of time, by the filmmakers, it led to a fine father-son discussion about the environment, its importance, what is wrong with it and what can be done to improve things on Earth. Its importance is inestimable, and I highly recommend it to everyone. It is something everybody needs to see, think about and actively discuss, regardless of one's personal priorities or political sphere of influence.

Your doco changed my life, I am now an active in doing something about climate change, as we here in New Zealand are affected just as the rest of the world are. The Fox Glacier in the South Island of New Zealand has shrunk by nearly half and we endure floods like never before and droughts. And unfortunately our government goes on like nothing is critical, but we are all at a tipping point and I find still the human race is walking with blinders on (for the most part) and don't part attention to this wonderful planet as it is all about the bottom line with money, I am 54 and I hope and pray that a revolution of change with all on board, and I believe until it touches all in a way that we can't avoid it might have to take place, and we are getting there, but what scares me is are we going to leave it too long for all the amazing species that didn't ask for this, and for humans well we just might be the player in us going extinct. Thank you to you and all that participated in making this wake up and take notice documentary. And to your family for their sacrifices.

As one who has been concerned about man's negative impact on the environment, this movie still manages to draw me to the edge of my seat by the way it captures the polar warming impact in an absolutely stunning portrayal of the massive glacial melt happening within a short time. I think every young person must watch this. It is an excellent product of a very resourceful and fiercely focused individual and is definitely more worthy of one's time than even the most profitable Hollywood blockbuster.@Dave - what is the probability of that computer in front of you coming together purely by evolution with zero intelligent input? If you can calculate that, even though it is just hypothetical, then you are a scientist. Then you can comment on evolution. Otherwise, pipe down on that topic.
