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.

STOP FIGHTING, START THINKING
Wether global warming is caused by humans or not, it is undeniable that the world climate is changing. Wether it has been caused by humans, or wether it's a natural process DOESN'T MATTER. Regardless of the cause of the rise in temperature, the temperature IS rising. Sea levels are going to change as the ice caps continue to melt, parts of the world (i.e. middle America) will change so drastically that they will become uninhabitable. This is going to cause some serious problems for millions, possibly billions, of people. It will affect all of us as a species, and we are doing almost nothing to prepare for it. Instead we all like to argue and believe that we're right and the other person is wrong. Just like hurricane Katrina, if we spend all our time focusing on who to blame for the disaster, nothing will be done for the people who need help, and a lot of us will die. Get over yourselves. We need to start working together.
Just a thought
I think the point that we should - at least I - take from all of this is that it is hard to argue against the human race being probably the most parasitic and destructive species this planet has ever seen. Who can intelligently say that the earth is warming and if it is, are we causing it. I think what we can say is that a lot of what we do is indeed detrimental to the environment and it should be such a struggle - even divisive politically - for us to try to clean up our act a little? Is that so inconvenient?
uh huh
good movie. for all you who tell us to do some research, uh, do some research. your "scientists" are bought. funny thing, science has had to battle morons for ever yet it's always right. too bad you won't be alive when your great grand children have to deal with your ignorance and neglect. by the way, we live in a bubble, where do you think all this stuff is going? the earth does indeed go in cycles, but we're changing the balance. the stuff doesn't vanish into thin air. this is so self evident that's it's amazing that you people still listen to those telling you otherwise. but of course, the universe revolves around the earth and the earth is flat, no?
