Chasing Ice (2012)
9/10
Nice visuals..

Look, majority of us writing reviews here will never see full impact of Global Warming. We'll be long dead by the time anything happens to this world and I for one, don't care what happens after I'm dead.

Having grown up in third world, still living there and living in suffering with few moments of joy day by day, I have no intention of NOT enjoying my life (whatever the cost to the environment) to please pretentious westerners who suddenly realizes that they have been destroying earth all this time to become to so called "developed world".

That said, this movie shows you nice visuals. Including large ice-bergs breaking left and right. Very breathtaking visuals. And I found the human element (knee problems) OK as well, it didn't distract me even though, the interviews with wife and daughter were entirely pointless and could've been cut for more footage of the ice itself.

Too bad the movie does jack about actually explaining to the viewer why it's all happening (unless you already know from other sources, like I do). "It's happening cause of Global Warming." is the only thing this movie tells you. And you know what? This is what the guy behind this documentary is hoping. He wants to show the idiots out there ice-melting to basically layman the Global Warming for them. I get it.

But it won't do jack. We'll be dead faster from Islamic terrorism than Global Warming. I am pretty sure religion and wars will be still bigger threat to extinction than melting ice millions of miles away from your home.
