''You see that pale, blue dot? That's us. Everything that has ever happened in all of human history, has happened on that pixel. All the triumphs and all the tragedies, all the wars all the famines, all the major advances... it's our only home. And that is what is at stake, our ability to live on planet Earth, to have a future as a civilization. I believe this is a moral issue, it is your time to cease this issue, it is our time to rise again to secure our future.'' A documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide. Al Gore: Himself My first thoughts after watching Truth is that more films like this need to be made in this style. That show we have to change our ways because quite frankly the world we live in doesn't deser...Read more

An Inconvenient Truth is really weird. It’s not a drama or even a documentary in the traditional sense, it's more of a slide show, delivered to a live audience, on the subject of the environment. To make this work you should need a great presenter, so who was chosen to tackle this huge task, Bono from U2? David Attenborough? Nope, it’s Al Gore the former American Vice President – well we all trust what politicians tell us! Don’t we?

I would have given this film a higher rating, but to be honest with you, it frightened me quite a bit with all of that end of the world talk, and why it is bad to use electronics and so forth, but I actually learned a valuable lesson from this film, and it taught me something. I learned that global warming actually is eventually going to happen, and it is not worth pretending that it won't. This film did a good job at putting those facts together, into one huge presentation to show the world. I enjoyed this film a lot.

Only Al Gore could be so passionate and so low-key at the same time. This documentary is basically a wooden old guy doing a slide show with graphs and pie charts about things you don't want to know. But, with Al's comforting voice, willingness to be the butt of his own jokes, vivid scenes of places in peril and intimate views of Al's past and present, it becomes a whole lot more than a slide show.

this is a very well done presentation, that for about 5 minutes lets you think: "sell your car, stop heating your living room and get back to nature".

Everyone who is still not convinced that global warming is real and humans are causing it, should see this movie. It shows you pictures and data that can not be overlooked!
