An Inconvenient truth
Michelle from Dublin, 24 Jul 2007
I really appreciated this film and I think everyone should view it at least once to make us more aware of the damage in our planet.It is more a documentary though so I think you need to have a real interest in the subject to appreciate it. Al Gore has shown he has worked on this matter for years not just as a person jumpin on the bandwagon which is what makes this so good. All the info is there and you will see the truths of this film happening every day in real life. Wake up world!

Unconvinced!
Wayne from Kildare, 26 Sep 2007
I'm not unconvinced about the gravity of the situation our planet is in but more with this film. I fell asleep on 2 separate nights about 40 mins into it, and that has to be an indictment in itself. As another reviewer on this website has said, it was too much like being in a classroom or in a lecture hall in college.
Al Gore is quite impressive though and it's a huge pity he didn't make President ahead of that ignorant, malevolent gimp that's in Washington now.
Good but don't expect too much!

If you do one thing, see this film
John from Donegal, 18 Aug 2007
I avoided this film as I was tired of being told that we are killing the planet and had come to accept this as fact. After seeing it, not only am I shocked at how close we are to self-destruct, but also at the blatent lies we have been told about who the worst offenders are. It ends on a lighter note, it's not too late, some things are working. If Al Gore had won the presidency, then this film would probably not have been made, so maybe there is a reason to everything... Watch this film

Must see.
Ciaran from Dublin, 11 Apr 2007
Al Gore shows us how worldly he is as a speaker (compared to George Doubleya) in this documentary/presentation of where the world is going if we don't change are carbon-junkie ways. It's a very interesting and well presented show that will entertain and enlighten without being overbearing. Highly recommended.

Overrated
Aileen from Dublin, 22 Jul 2007
For all the hype that surrounded this 'documentary', I was surprised to find it is little more than a powerpoint presentation with overindulged Al Gore stories. Irrelevant segments include sick family members, his childhood farm and of course his failed Presidency bid. The most unintentionally funny (and quickly annoying) part is the cutaway shots of Gore flying all over the world on planes, driving SUV's & travelling in massive limos. Then he urges us to 'recycle'!

Good morning humans. Have a nice sleep? -Earth

I'm very relieved that someone has spoken about the environmental disaster underway and found a few ears to listen. None of the information given in this movie should be shocking to anyone that reads science mags or journals instead of celebrity gossip mags. I am quite happy that environmental awareness is becoming a trend for many after watching this movie. Scientists across many disciplines have released data for years, but the general public would never bother to listen. Finally, they listen.

Environmental Indoctrination
Paul from Cork, 13 Apr 2010
Wow.....the first 'documentary' ever made that has only one point of view (Al Gore's).and without anybody else being interviewed, and certainly not with anybody that might disagree with him........oh, and did I mention that Al Gore is not a scientist. This science fiction movie is a joke and has already been completely discredited by the high court in the U.K. when its claims were challenged. It was shown to contain a number of significant errors. For example, Gore claims that Polar Bears are dr
