Could only appeal to the uneducated. Humankind is so egotistical and thinks so highly of itself that they have to make climate change about them, Forgetting that this phenomenon occurs every couple hundred thousand years. We are so self consumed that we think, we have to be the reason for these huge changes. Man wants to believe he has impact on nature because he can't picture an aspect of life he doesn't control or affect. Man has nothing to do with it and if he does then nature will find a way to reestablish order to itself. Let's all stop being naive please.

The movie is an impressively large collection of common places concerning the interaction between the environment and humanity. The structure is simple: famous or not so famous people giving their opinion on industrialization while we are shown alternating images of disasters and the beauty and greatness of our Planet. Often, instead of words, these shots are the main means of conveying the simple message: We all are heading in a VERY unfavorable direction, and we all really should do something about it. The second half of the film makes a weak attempt to elaborate on what exactly it is to be done. In fact, they come up with nothing new, stick to the orthodox green mantra: renewable energy resources, use, consume less. The film completely lacks scientific data, in fact any kind of quantization of what is happening. On the other hand, only one perspective is given. I am not missing the representation of a strong anti-environmentalist view, or showing any doubt in global warming. However, there are several valid, contradicting and still responsible and environmentally conscious ways of approaching these problems. Unfortunately, only the simplest one is presented in the movie: It's bad, bad, bad, Do something, do something, do something. I did not learn anything from the movie. Some of the footage is, in fact, very impressive.

Enfin un film qui démontre la responsabilité anthropique face aux changements climatiques. Nous devons agir maintenant et voter en conséquence à la protection de notre unique maison.

This is along the same vein as "An Inconvienent Truth", but this film shares the thoughts of many of the great thinkers of our time (David Suzuki and Stephen Hawking, to name the most recognizable) It's not about global warming though, it's about the relationship between humans and the Earth, and unlike most environmental documentaries The 11th Hour actually takes a look at some longterm (and viable!) solutions. If you'd like to have a planet to live on 30 years from now, you'd better check out this movie.

'The 11th hour' documentary was good but nothing more. I think that 'The unconvenient truth', as the first documentary out there, had way more impact on people... As human beings, we all know by now how to make a difference ecologically before it's too late and 'The 11th hour' is focusing too much on interviewing people... That creates a very narrative documentary. Sure, proeminent people like Stephen Hawking and Mikhail Gorbachev were very interesting to listen to but I learned nothing more... This documentary should be watched by the Bush administration and by all the people out there who are still convinced that humans have no negative impacts on the planet...

I'm glad they made this movie a great presentation. It's something you have to watch I mean, it tells it all.

Everybody should see it! I know that we know, but we need films like this one, to be reminded of our world we are polluting. We can never get enough reminders until everybody gets on the wagon!

Excellent movie emphasizing hope, with lots of ideas and examples of how other countries are changing their priorities. Seeing this movie is a good start! I left the theatre more hopeful than when I'd come in.

Worth seeing. I would have liked to hear more about the solutions and what the individual could do in more detail.

Not as impressive as "An inconvenient truth" (from a “full of reality images” point of view) but very well done and actually shows solutions.

Not a bad documentary about global warming but I suspect that most people will not learn much 'new' here. The music is melodramatic to bolster sympathy. The part I enjoyed the most was the talk about governments and the oil mongers (corporations): democracy = aristocracy. The solutions to climate change are bleak at most and the biggest danger is the disappearance of mankind. I will not cry.
