Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

10 years later this movie's theme is no longer an inconvenient truth but has become a politically correct celebration of the Al Gore political character and achievements. I find this documentary to be lacking ambition in terms of ecological activism. The new challenge is no longer carbon emissions as this has now been widely accepted but rather how can we make a difference on an individual basis and this is precisely where Al Gore fails to deliver. He only talks a few seconds about the elephant in the house, the real inconvenient truth most don't want to hear about which is the impact of animal agriculture and how our dietary habits impact the environment. If you look for something that will really teach you how to make a difference for the planet move on to cowspiracy and what the health. Looking at this documentary and Al Gore's speeches I couldn't help wondering what kind of eating habits this slightly overweight man has and could it be that he doesn't want to be too inconvenient after all? Nevertheless I recognize that when the first documentary came out it created a much needed shift in our understanding and willingness to move on the topic of climate change and carbon's emissions. It feels like Al Gore's generation has taken it as far as they could or were willing to go and the new pressing challenges are to be taken up by the next generations. I guess learning to live as a specie without destroying the planet is a journey and those who aren't ready to consider the full picture need to start somewhere and for then Al Gore's documentary is a good starting point.

The fact that hurricane sandy was used to prove the point that sea levels were rising is extremely dishonest. Sea levels and storm surges are a completely different animal. Anyone who purveys such complete and utter lies has an agenda to deceive people. The real debate is what is the purpose of that agenda. Since the main agenda here is to discredit other people's posts. I'm not a cigar smoking v8 driving republican. I live in the country. Grow a good portion of my food, raise chickens, and have a personal relationship with a dairy farmer. My impact on the environment is much smaller than those who are about to ridicule me after I hit the submit button. The ocean levels were most definitely rising before Europeans came to america. We were taught that in schools. Isn't that how the so called native american's made it to north america on the Bering Sea land bridge? And since then the ocean has covered the land bridge. I my mom lives on the ocean. I look at the water lines on the dock pillars every year and there is little difference. This angry alarmist stuff isn't doing any good. I bought the first DVD. I borrowed this one from a friend. I can't see giving my money away to lies that 6th grade science can dispute.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning A decade on from his award winning, socially impacting environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth was released, former presidential candidate Al Gore has chosen to make a follow up film, further highlighting the plight of worldwide climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. He shows how the irresponsibility of certain, advanced nations is having a detrimental impact on the lives of those in smaller, more disadvantaged nations, and even closer to home, and re-ignites his worldwide call for change and accountability, as President Donald Trump removes America from the Paris Climate Agreement.Ten years is a perfect time for evaluation, if you are trying to achieve something. When a period of time has advanced to double digits, it's time to look back and observe what progress has been made, and what significant changes for the better have occurred that something you were so passionate about and devoted yourself to promoting have resulted in. It would seem, from Truth to Power's existence, that Al Gore was not sufficiently impressed with what had changed in the ten years since the predecessor to this film was released, and so he has once again made a documentary about his worldwide efforts for change.This time around, it's a far less personal account, with Gore having already divulged his family background and motivations for being so powered up about the environment in the last film, and so we delve headfirst in with him this time around, as he travels to Paris to show support from the USA for the climate cause, and gets caught up in the tragic terror attacks toward the end of the year, as well as to one of the one of the world's biggest polluters, India, to try and get them to find alternatives to coal burning. His sincerity towards the cause is never in doubt, obviously not something he just does to grab votes by exploiting a popular cause, and at times the passion cracks through his voice, as he propels his crusade.In a time when international terror (not unwisely) seems to be at the top of everyone's concerns, the dour voiced Gore has powered up that slovenly drawl of his once again to make sure we don't forget about a crisis that has every bit as much catastrophic potential. ****

I was told to "have fun!" at the cinema and thought to myself: "hardly" because of that serious and guilt-inflicting-matter, but I was so wrong:Al Gore showed us how important it is for us to think globally as sisters and brothers and demonstrated the devastating stupidity of narrow minded fanatics but mostly the heart-warming connection between world-peace, intercontinental and bipartisan love and support .When I came out of this movie I wasn't as frustrated or guilt-ridden as before, neither was I inclined to lean back in despair or frustration anymore; but I was filled with tears of an re-opened heart, and freshly inspired to share my love for the planet and humankind.So I ask everyone who blindly did vote this documentary down not to simply bury their heads in the sand but to face and watch it, and thereafter cast an honest fresh vote. You will not regret it, because this documentary will make you feel better - not worse!EDIT: After having seen a documentary on how the fossil-fuel-lobby divides the population by buying opinions of scientists, I realised that the 2/3rds who downvoted positive reviews such as mine, are not people who scream their guilt-conscience into the ground, but simple shills and robots designed to distort that opinion. So if you feel that you are "one of the few" who have a sensible opinion and see that there is something dead wrong - don't despair, because you are in the majority against a bunch of programmed computers which are designed to falsify the public opinion.- -Ah, and one afterthought: With that publicity Al Gore could run for the Green-Party as president - and even though he wouldn't win, he could kick-start a third party into the race so high that it could get a discussion of the faulty non-democratic US-2-party-system started. In the long run he therewith could probably change the political landscape deeper than he ever would have done as president.
