Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply A Masterpiece

People are voting emotionally.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

First and foremost: The "apocalypse" shown in the movie is crazy one. The climate change may be very bad for people, yes, but historically it was mostly beneficial for the environment. The current "cold age" is abnormally cold, historically it was way way warmer, there was basically no ice on the poles, there was actually even polar forest! What is real problem is overpopulation, globalization (the transport of food around the world is really stupid), ecosystem destruction not short of genocide, production of toxic garbage and other waste. Please stop crying about flooded cities and the end of the civilization. You know, this has happened multiple times in the past and the impact was not that bad. The ruined cities were reused, especially in the Middle East. The oldest cities there have been "recycled" for thousands of years. And they will be recycled in the future as well.The climate change is not the end of the world nor the nature. It is very unpleasant change for most people. But have no doubts that preventing the climate change would save us from overpopulation or new illnesses. It will not. If your city is in the path of destruction it is just simple to move the city than to try to change the nature. So deal with it and focus on more important issues like stopping the globalization that is the actual devil here - it is really outsourcing of the ecosystem destruction. Riding your bike will really not prevent China from apocalyptic destruction of forests in Africa and South America.

Apparently someone wrote this to capitalize on the ever present environmentalism groups both nationally and internationally, in the hopes they would buy the DVD's show them at conventions, people's houses and try to force their friends to watch (actually pretty good plan).However, 2100 makes us think that technology won't even progress beyond gasoline, which is a great fuel at 44,000 KJ/gallon but expensive rather than it's alternatives, coal and electricity. Most likely Li-ion batteries combined with either carbon nanotubes or silicon nanowires will be it's successor within the next decade (not kidding, google them please), Nuclear plants produce no Co2, but the film never mentions them, instead solar panels and wind for all, which i must mention are horribly inefficient at $.15/kwh vs coal's $.04 or nuclear's $.05. The film takes us on an "emotional" story of how the earth got ruined by man apparently, and can be solved by signing a treaty which fixes everything. Rather than prove any point or focusing on a single issue as noted before, watchers are thrust into heartbroken character after heartbreaking character and forced to watch as poor framework and lackluster performances crawl agonizingly by. Again, a lot of the circumstances just won't happen with overpopulation in the countries noted due to drought, Aids etc. As you can see you get caught between the film's gross inaccuracy and the constant barrage of garbage that is the sidestories.Additionally, the film never explores any other explanation of why some of the events happen, it simply claims "humans did it", there are very good reasons why quite a few people disagree with some of the proposals, see the topics "turbulent flow" "salt fingering" "shockwaves in a flow" "cloud formation" as all these are necessary to compute a successful climate model. No, I won't explain any of these.Anyway as a film it's lackluster propaganda, I give it an E for effort.

After seeing this documentary I was left with one single question. If there is a single most important cause for this outcome, what would it be. There is only one understanding this reasonably rational human being can come to. As Lucy states, the human race is collapsing under its own weight. There are just to many of us for this "Blue Marble", we live on to support with out our destroying our home in order to feed, cloth, shelter, etc., such huge numbers.What a sad commentary on our inability to say "NO", to procreation. I, myself, have chosen to not do so. Unfortunately, it might take something like ninety-nine out of a hundred to do the same in 1980, to make a difference by 2015. 2015, being the step over the edge into the abyss year, or close to it, from which this earth will not be able to recover for centuries. We humans are killing the very planet that gave us life in the first place.How sad, when a self aware, sentient, god seeking being, is wondering if a single strand of RNA might be our salvation. Salvation for the human species being six billion dead. But would we just start all over again.

I have to give a 5 rating just because I can't seem to balance the poor shady inconclusive dramatic rather successful attempt at sensationalizing facts and theories into such crap. From the aspect of the creation, editing, storyline, plot, artistic blah blah blah - well done - it is the subject matter that concerns me.This apparently a documentary - and in my eyes a successful mock-umentary that never fully completes a possible fact, or concluding a theory. It Americanizes the climate change and inflates the idea that it is more harmful to Americans, than anyone else in the world, and swarms of people will be busting down borders. Yet in a moment before, America was drying up into a desert - so why would people wanna go there? The other big question, unanswered or rarely mentioned is that if the planet is warming up, places that are already low with moisture are just gonna dry up anyhow, and well, with all that moisture evaporating into the air system - well, it would clearly suggest it's gonna come back down somewhere else. So, if America is gonna dry up - big whoop, someplace else is gonna 'wet up'.And if the world is going to go belly up - oh excuse me, the world will continue and move forward with or without human beings, and perhaps that won't be such a bad thing.
