Michael Taylor and Karen Coshof's slickly made documentary serves as a tidy primer on climate change, making up in breadth what it lacks in exhortation. Go to Full Review William Arnold Seattle Post-Intelligencer 11/02/2006

Does a solid job of dealing with the problem but with enough originality that it's not an exact duplication of the Gore film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gloria G 10/30/2024 Ignoring a phenomenon won’t make it less real or make it go away, we need to know that we are living in a physical and spiritual world. This documentary is centuries predicted and now people in our time experience it. Awareness is key in this passing life, well written and executed! Summary, must see for yourself. Embrace? See more Andrzej K 03/20/2024 "This Is Mark Copeland For Radio Free Oregon. Don't Believe The Lies." – Copeland Remember that celebrities are not authorities! Sadly, such a nice actor like Keanu is a naive and easily manipulated person. See more 04/19/2011 KEANU REEVES IS GOD. See more 11/04/2006 I loved this film! It's a must-see documentary that entertains like a movie while educating you. And, it' was made 'carbon neutral' thanks to a gift of FutureWind clean power certificates from Krystal Planet, of course. This film is non-partisan, and can unite both sides of the political aisle on this urgent topic of climate change and our silly dependence on foreign energy. See more Read all reviews
