Description
A movie based on a PowerPoint presentation by a former presidential candidate may not sound exciting, but once AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH hits its stride viewers may be surprised how compelling the subject matter proves to be. While many high-ranking political figures continue to argue about global warming, Al Gore has plunged headlong into a serious wake-up call for the planet with a series of lectures about the problem. It's on one of these lectures that this movie from director Davis Guggenheim is based. Guggenheim breaks up Gore's delivery by illustrating his points with film footage, much of which features the former Democratic nominee exploring the globe as he examines the effects of global warming. Gore's speech is neatly divided between calm recitations of the facts about the issue and several stories of a personal nature. His skills as an orator are considerable, and it's hard not to be alarmed by most of what he has to say. Indeed, as Gore relates tales of melting polar icecaps, rising global temperatures, and the reluctance of political leaders to do something about the problem, the film takes on an air of hopelessness and doom, especially as no easy solutions are offered. Gore's advice is for individuals to take steps to reduce their own inadvertent poisoning of the atmosphere, and to persuade others to do likewise. It's a powerful message, and one that is likely to remain in non-cynical minds long after the film comes to a conclusion.

This is the most important film I have ever seen. It is IMPERATIVE not only that you see it, but that you convince everyone you come in contact with the urgency of doing whatever they can to deal with the "inconvenient truths" of its subject matter. Nothing else in your life will ever be as important as this, once you understand the problem and what's at stake.

No matter what side of the political fence you are in. No matter what you think about the environment. "An Inconvenient Truth" is a movie you MUST see. After we saw the movie, which depicts Al Gore doing a slideshow presentation about the current situation and outlook of the global warming crisis, we scratched our heads at how careless we can be about a topic that our very survival as a species depends on.

The movie gives hard data in a visual way, that is compelling and easy to understand, showing how bad the current situation with global warming is, compared to our entire past history. It goes on to elaborate in terms of particular geographical areas, how they are doing today and their outlook in case certain (not too unlikely) environmental events unfold. It presents the US in the context of the world, what we are (not) doing about the problem, and most importantly, it gives lots of tips of things we CAN do, to make a difference, along with directing viewers to the movie's web site.

We owe taking action for our childrens sake.. for the future of humanity.. lets make the difference together.
