Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It's like sitting through a college lecture and knowing with gripping dread that you're going to be quizzed on all of this afterward.
Fresh: An Inconvenient Truth was short on how to make life better. It rushed through a list of 'what to do next' offerings in the film's last few minutes. Here is where The 11th Hour shines.
Fresh: The filmmakers take pains not to foster fatalistic gloom, concentrating on some of the progressive solutions still available to us.
Fresh: It's not a movie with a lot of answers, but The 11th Hour does push the debate further down the road.

Better than Inconvenient Truth
This is a great film for both skeptics and supporters of global warming theory alike. Climate change is a real issue and I find this movie offers a more positive outlook on solutions to global warming and adapting to our changing conditions, rather than fear-mongering and stating ominous truths about our planet. Rather than wishing he were the next President of the U.S., Leonardo gathers some of the best minds to discuss potential solutions to the problem: a far more productive use of movie-viewing time than An Inconvenient Truth.
Essential viewing. Inspirational.
I was scared to watch this movie for a long time... I guess I was in depression mode about the state of our planet and I didn't want to see more of what I already knew, that our planet is dying and that it's getting worse all the time. I was doing my bit to help where I could and feeling overwhelmed as it was. But I did watch it, eventually, and was so glad I did. Yes this movie starts our stark and bleak and depressing in it's portrayal of the state of the planet, but then the tone changes. We go from getting the necessary news about how bad things are (which is throughly depressing) to the sudden realization that we can do something about it. The second half of this film focuses on the incredible potential we have to transform our society and the way we live into a harmonious cooperation with the earths natural ecosystems rather than a competition and destruction of the environment. This film shows that we can use our intelligence and our passion to reinvent our place in this world and that such a shift would not be a limiting of the current technologically advanced, 'pursuit of happiness' style, and high standard of living way in which we live today, but would actually increase our sense of well being and joy that we derive from living on this earth. I found this film highly motivational and helpful in terms of realizing my role in building a sustainable future could be much more involved and needs to be more involved and, most importantly, that it will be a helluva fun process to be involved in!
