- Environmental documentary 11th HOUR resides at the polar opposite of escapist summer fare, its mission to firmly confront viewers about the indelible human footprint that humans have left on this planet, and the catastrophic effects of environmental neglect and abuse. Produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, and ably directed by Nadia Conners and Leila Conners Peterson, the documentary doesn
Movie Reviews of The 11th Hour
Movie Review: confused
Summary: 3 Stars
The only thing that I have to say is that I do not understand making a movie on global warming and having the main speaker (Leonardo Dicaprio) is someone that works in one of the worst industries when it comes to trash and pollution. Why would you have someone that is always flying around in planes and works for an industry that builds sets then tears them down and throws them in the trash be the main speaker instead of having a reputable scientist? The only reason that I can think is to attract a larger audience, but at a price of doing exactly what they say is bad for the enviroment. I would have rather seen Ed Begley in this movie at least he lives the lifestyle. The movie itself was ok but there are a lot better resources and movies out there than this one, but if you are interested on this topic then I would recommend it because any/as much information is always good. This is not a comment to bash the movie or Leonardo Dicaprio, I just think it should have been thought out a little bit better.
Summary of The 11th Hour
No Description Available.Genre: Documentary
Rating: PG
Release Date: 8-APR-2008
Media Type: DVD
Comparisons to Al Gore's Oscar-winning slide show will be inevitable, but there's a key difference between the two documentaries. An Inconvenient Truth was aimed at the PBS set, while Leonardo DiCaprio's The 11th Hour combines a traditional structure with a more MTV-friendly pace. Of course, neither was made by these public figures. Davis Guggenheim directed the former, while Nadia Conners and Leila Conners Petersen are behind the latter. DiCaprio serves as producer, co-writer, and narrator (the three previously worked on the short films Global Warming and Water Planet). Their first feature combines a diverse array of interviews with a dizzying variety of images, both soothing and alarming (droughts and hurricanes vs. serene sunsets and playful polar bears). Speakers include former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking, and progressive CEO Ray Anderson, hero of The Corporation. Granted, there's no obvious youth appeal in these subjects, but the presence of the Titanic heartthrob-turned-Scorsese star, who keeps his on-screen narration to a tasteful minimum, plus atmospheric tracks from Sigur R?s, Coldplay and Mogwai seems likely to attract a younger crowd. And that seems to be the point, since The 11th Hour is, at heart, a call to arms. It begins by taking a look at the causes of global warming before exploring solutions, from eating organic to building with solar power. There isn't a ton of new information for environmental experts, but DiCaprio and his team have assembled a thought-provoking primer for neophytes and potential activists. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
