Sometimes powerful documentary on global warming, it has two key problem. First, it often comes close to feeling like it is overstating its case, presenting things in a very skewered, Michael Moore like way, but without the irony or humor. I'm a great believer in the science of global warming and the urgent need to do something, but- at least from what I've read - this film took some worst case scenarios and presented them as mainstream established fact.
Also, for me, the linking device of Pete Postlewaite (an actor I love) as a man in the future looking back at film clips to see where we all went wrong is dorky at first, then dorky, preachy and dull, Any film that ends with "The end?" is a little cute for me.
But the subject is important enough, that if this makes it accessible, say, for kids, that is a worthwhile thing.
