Definitely a bit heavy on the apocalyptic messaging, but it needed to be done to get the audience's attention. The movie does a good job explaining global climate systems for those who have no scientific background. All in all, a good movie that should serve as a wake up call to society.

I'd say it's quite one sided but this a side of the global warming argument that I agree with. Certainly shocking and frightening. A serious wake-up call for us all, even if we're not as direct a cause for global warming. As this documentary shows how careless we, as a global community, are being with our environment.

As a climate scientist, some of the science used and the way it's portrayed is a little cringeworthy without being wrong. Some classic ball dropping stuff like not scaling graphs properly that to a pure scientist invite criticism. But then I remembered that this film isn't meant for me. I know already just how deep shit we are in about global warming. And as a tool for openning the eyes of the ignorant you'd be hard pushed to fault it. Even manages not to come off too preachy. Good stuff.

If you still need someone to tell you that global warming is real and is a danger, you're an idiot. But this movie is still enlightening in the ways it explains the problems and illustrates their alarming reality. Is it a documentary about a slideshow? Well, yes, but it's a damn good slideshow, and an important one. In fact, it ought to be MORE about the slideshow than it already is. Some of the interstitial bits, especially the more personal ones about Gore, are distracting and unnecessary.

An Inconvenient Truth's fatal mistake was Al Gore. Making fucking AL GORE the face of global warming galvanized opposition and turned this movie's reception into a mind-numbing political kerfuffle that did more to bring negative attention to the issue than anything else.

Which is more exciting in a movie: Al Gore himself, or Al Gore's Powerpoint presentation? Finally, a movie that presents both sides of the issue, without any superfluous additional content to get in the way! Watch the movie first, then decide! Seriously, not bad from an educational point of view, but it's a shame they couldn't have done more with this film.

I don't hate this movie cause I'm against the message, I hate it mostly cause it's boring as shit. Remember those powerpoint presentations you did in grade school? Yeah, that's what this movie is, a powerpoint presentation. It's pathetic. You should also question the guy who is the president of the company that owns the carbon credit company (Gore) as to what his real motives are. It appears that he is doing it for all the wrong reasons, namely, the money. Sad.

"An Inconvenient Truth that makes us sell you guys even more brand of special products, so you can save the environment". I was expecting more comprehensive discourse from this movie.

These type of movies are always so hard to watch. I'm already a firm believer that we as citizens of the world are having a negative impact on our enviroment, so watching this isn't about swaying me in one fashion or another. Still, if you can actually convince someone who believes Global Warming is only theory, maybe this documentary can help change their mind or at the very least, get them to start looking into this for themselves.

"How to encourage people into downshifting when the limits of economic growth are beginning to be reached without having to tell them with straight face that the whole rat race they've been put on previously has been a lie?" That thorny issue (for the elite at least) is at the core of global warming theory. But two lies don't make one truth, and can have more bad effects than one alone. Just accept the fact that economic growth is a lie, and without it we could go full-sustainable immediately.

Fuck you Al Gore. This has nothing to do with "believing" in global warming or not. Stop taking a serious issue that is inevitable, involving it in your own political agenda (mindless propaganda), and blaming humans in order to rip those off who are too stupid to realize the subject at hand. Nice try.

This eye-opening documentary testifies to former Vice-President Al Gore's unwavering dedication to not only inform the public about the current inevitability of Global Warming, but also his staunch attempt to convince them that something must be done. Gore presents the facts and figures of the rising amount of atmospheric Co2 and its effect on the Ozone layer clearly and articulately. The documentary dispels rumors about GW and paints a clear picture of the future without intervention.

Al Gore's disingenuous hypocrisy is evident from his carbon credit money grubbing Ponzi schemes, to his carbon gushing personal jets, homes and limos. The movie itself is a self-serving fraud. The polar bears are thriving, global warming is such a joke they had to rename it "climate change", and receding glaciers are a sign of warming, NOT the ones calving icebergs.

A good movie for people who have little to no knowledge of why this issue can be a big deal. A little alarmist, a little sketchy in parts (nice charts with no axes or sources or anything else to make it useful!), but overall pretty good and meaningful. It's too bad Al Gore is such an unreliable narrator, though. I mean, he was a Vice President. Can't exactly take him for his word.

17 years later when you look at the overall direction we are taking, it can be said that this film has reached its goal. As a documentary it is well constructed, Gore was a unique mix of Insider/Outsider as far as politics go, so it is neither too militant nor too wishy-washy. It is even entertaining the percolation of Gore's personal grudges and regrets into the story, it makes it more relatable. I salute his persistence, he will be remembered as a positive force in history.

Powerful, passionate presentation has only become more prescient in the intervening decade, while dragging the environmental movement from the fringes and into the mainstream. Marked a reboot of sorts for Gore, shedding his image as Clinton's robotic "also ran" and revealing himself as a warm, compassionate even delightfully self-effacing character. A mix of hard-hitting anecdotal testimony, rested on a bedrock of scientific fact, makes this an uncommonly intelligent, persuasive piece of work.

There is a certainly a good film that can be made about the effects and causes of global warming. This is not that documentary. Al Gore seems to have no idea of the actual science and likes to tie together random anecdotal evidence and present it as fact. Sure the basics are solid but there are too many lies, half-truths, and total exaggerations to take the entire product seriously. It also doesn't help that this is an over-glorified Power Point.

As a film, it's certainly flawed, but it's a touchstone for the environmentalist movement in a way that few documentary films have ever been cultural monuments, and even ignoring its social and political relevance, it stands as perhaps the prime example of the modern didactic documentary in style, tone, and substance. While its problems will age the film in the coming decades, its monumental real-world impact on the contemporary dialogue about global warming outweighs those criticisms.

Yep, the world is warming up. There used to be glaciers covering most of North America, so it's really not much of a surprise is it? I'm still gonna heat my house and drive my car. Al Gore is going to take Limos and private jets and helicopters wherever he goes because he's important and he invented the internet. What a pretentious ass. I give it a 50 because even though Al Gore was in this, there have been much worse films.

While global warming is a hotly-debated subject, what everyone on both sides can agree upon is that, if real, it's a very bad thing. Since losing the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore has busied himself by being an outspoken figure against this potential environmental disaster. As much about the man as about greenhouse gases, this candid, powerful and informative documentary illuminates some of the myths surrounding both of its subjects equally well.

The documentary is extremely boring in terms of presentation and Al Gore is a dull personality. Gore is prone to exaggeration and misunderstanding what the actual scientific narratives are for climate change. For example, he makes unsupported claims that hurricanes and various diseases are caused by climate change and frames this as consensus. I also hate his solution; He believes it's more valuable to push weak political agreements than make green energy cheaper and more appealing to investors.
