Movie Reviews of The 11th Hour
Movie Review: Lacks the power of the subject matter...
Summary: 2 Stars
I was deeply disappointed after watching 11th hour. Having read positive reviews and a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio I was looking forward to a good documentary on global warming. Unfortunately this documentary failed miserably and is rather forgettable.
The first of several problems that made this fail is the exectuion. Almost the entire film is nothing but interviews blended together and every so often intercut with scenic scenes. Yes this is a documentary but some of the interviews with scientist which were very vague or just plain confusing to the common watcher.
The narration by Leonardo DiCaprio failed horrible due to once again very vague and hard to understand terms that made you zone out as he was talking. After listening to the interviews and then hearing the narration made you just want to shout "TELL ME IN PLAIN ENGLISH!".
Another thing was there was nothing really new, after Al Gore's very informative documentary there was nothing new on Global Warming and the ideas for the future change is good but they are such big changes that need to take place you feel hopeless. Especially as even the interviewees admit many of the probelms are due to leadership/law issues with congress and the white house.
Overall a HUGE disappointment, I give Leo credit for trying but unfortunately is was so poorly put together and almost feels purposely made uninteresting and dull.
Movie Review: sigh - so promising but doesn't deliver
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was billed so highly that I expected it to be riveting. Instead what I saw felt like lots of stock tragedy footage in quick view montage (think Baraka without the art) designed to evoke emotion. They don't let the "experts" share the exciting things they are up to and give a very stilted view of who these (mostly) men are. Considering this was basically a bioneers conference syllabus except with better visuals I think they left out some of the most exciting things afoot right now. Movie Review: Still have five minutes
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is a powerful outcry to the passive behavior and disbelief that each of us can make a difference in saving our home, our planet, our children, and even maybe ourselves. We made changes to the climate almost to the point of no return. Only drastic change in our attitude, government policies, and actions can soften or slowly reverse these changes. The movie is a very vivid presentation of the above ideas. It has passion. It has life.Movie Review: Unfortunately no one saw this great film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is leagues beyond the Al Gore film and does not have any politics riding it like a donkey either.
Is the planet warming? Yes. Is man the cause? Not 100% sure. Should we be way more responsible with the environment regardless? You better believe it!
This film is not just some scare tactic movie with charts and graphs guilting you into buying a hybrid car. This film brilliantly proposes a fundamental shift in humanities overall attitude and approach towards just about everything.
I could not help think of Star Trek and feel hopeful for our future provided we stop fighting, come together as one people and see ourselves as a single race of humans on a single planet rather than a bunch of disparate peoples arguing over semantics while inefficiency is the norm.
The future is now people. We can all change our ways almost effortlessly while saving ourselves money as well. Simple changes will collectively have a huge impact on the world and will send a powerful message to the business world that we want change for the better now.
I personally have a very small car and have switched my home to energy efficient light bulbs. I also now use my own bags in stores when I shop. This has saved me money with little expense up front.
No need to debate global warming. Making changes for the better is simply the right thing to do, and as stewards of this planet there is no time like the present.
Movie Review: This movie calls for life changing attitudes !!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie can be said to be a logical follow-on to "An Inconvienent Truth", although it goes further. It calls on us all to assess our lives from an overall perspective, and make changes. Use of oil is just one of those changes. If we, as humans, are gonna make it into the near future, we, in the industrialized part of the world, are gonna have to make significant changes in our use of the world's resources, if we are to ever convince the Chinese, and other exploding new economies, to do likewise. Otherwise, our grandkids, or theirs, may live in a world that we dare not imagine.
