Gripping story with well-crafted characters

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Saw this on Sundance and it wasn't bad but was a little more hippieish and disjointed than I expected. If you're looking for a primer on peak oil, I'd definitely recommend "Collapse" before seeing this. Then this is a worthy counterpart to follow the detailing of the problem by humanizing it and discussing some potential solutions. It's definitely the more hopeful, if less polished, of the two films. Perhaps my ambivalence toward this documentary is intensified by the fact that, as it seems to me, the problem of declining fossil fuels and humans' relative inability to adjust and adapt seem like intractable, unsolvable problems. And it's also probably unfair to expect a low-budget documentary to present definitive solutions to those problems rather than vignettes about how people are trying to cope and deal with this -- localizing food sources, conserving fuel, looking into alternative fuels and so on. Anyway, worth a look, especially if you're already convinced of the problem -- that we're arriving at (if not already past) levels of peak oil production and consumption, and that the world, its economies and our lives as we know it are going to change within our lifetimes.
