A better-than-most film on the topic that gets beyond the dire warnings to contemplating what can actually be done to help turn, or at least significantly curb, the tide.

A deeply conventional though attractive documentary designed to reinforce just how bad things are getting while offering hope...

Putting quibbles about pitch and approach aside... as a beginners' guide to Arctic thaw and its consequences this is pretty exemplary stuff.

In Mother Earth's respectably long history we are mere late arrivals, [thus] the arrogance of our ilk in assuming the place is now all ours to refurbish, truly beggars belief.

Rated: 3/5

If the tone of the Titanic actor at times is too didactic, the seriousness of the subject in question frees us from any kind of prejudice. [Full review in Spanish]

I loved that The documentary offered scientific additional actions we can take to help the environment that aren't the typical suggestions like recycling and electric cars etc. Of course they mention that these are additional steps and solutions humans can take.

For HBO level, this docs is passable. Nothing new and is effectively boring. If the whole point is to champion against climate crisis, this production falls short to entice the audience and bring an oomph for the education narrative.

Fascinating documentary on the science of climate change. It suffers from preaching to choir a little bit though. I wish it addressed climate change deniers and skeptics more.
