With the fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance, An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of the most important and prescient documentaries of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself, 'former President-elect' Al Gore felt an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as he had been doing throughout his political career--to the increasingly desperate crisis of global warming, and this riveting documentary is basically a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore has presented (by his own estimate, well over 1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding the reality (not 'theory') of global warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis, many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating and convincing this no-frills film really is.
As we learn about the milestone events that shaped his character (including his sister's death and young son's near-fatal injuries after being struck by a car), Gore sheds the stiff demeanor of his 2000 presidential campaign and impresses us as a man with a mission, transcending partisan politics with an impassioned plea for common sense, ethical forthrightness, and passionate purpose in reversing the harmful effects of global warming through personal and political responsibility. Some may accuse Gore of exploiting global warming as a Democratic platform, but his honest conviction regarding this 'inconvenient truth' (i.e. overwhelming evidence of global warming that's troublesome to those whose interests are threatened by Gore's irrefutable message) is likely to silence all but the most obtusely stubborn detractors. By taking the high road and discreetly avoiding a full-on assault against the George W. Bush administration (which has steadfastly avoided 'the inconvenient truth' with obfuscating spin control and policies favoring the oil industry), Gore effectively rises above political differences with a stern but hopeful eye toward a better future for our children.--Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - A Must See: You're life may depend on it!
I thought this documentary would be boring but I discovered it was just the opposite, it was fascinating!
Al Gore doesn't try to scare you he just presents the facts over the last 40 years of watching it happen. He doesn't rely on future predictions like I thought he would to scare you (he does show them to you through computer models and yes they are scary) but it's more a plea to your common sense side to start doing something about it because we can turn it around if we all work ...

Rating: - Incoveniently Mesmerizing; A Must See
The very fact that all the points Mr. Gore makes in this thrilling film, he painstakingly backs up with undeniable and verifiable historical and scientific proof, makes this film worth seeing. I say painstakingly because I can only imagine the opposition he must have encountered while making it.
The film is both haunting and captivating. I'll bet you'll catch yourself sitting on the edge of your seat at some point duting the movie, if not during most of it.

Rating: - Far Better Than Expected
I went into watching this film with quite a bit of apprehension.I had unfortunately listened to all the ostriches who have their heads conveniently buried in the sand.Mr. Gore, who I was previously no fan of, presented his theory with conviction and sound science.The delivery is in no way dry or monotone as some of the other lying reviews claim.You can feel the "establishment" ooze off these other reviews.It is easier for them to ignore the problem than face the truth.Anyone who hasn't personally ...

Rating: - Everyone needs to see this movie
Everyone has to watch this.If all of us in the U.S. watched and actually listened to what is conveyed in this amazing documentary, our country would become a much better place.Heck, if Al Gore were president, our country would have been a much better place.Any teachers should make this program mandatory for their students.It is just so amazingly done.
