Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 07/21/2005
3/5
Husband-and-wife filmmakers Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy pack their film with information that will not please anyone frustrated by the ubiquity of space-hogging, gas guzzling SUVs. Go to Full Review
Anita Gates New York Times 07/18/2005
1.5/5
Most of this is old news. And the filmmakers never make a coherent case, at least not to the layperson. As a result, the film, which runs about 90 minutes, seems painfully long. Go to Full Review

The Oil Factor places the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq-in fact, the entire so-called 'global war on terror'-within a definite geopolitical context. Go to Full Review

03/31/2021 A good story and great animation I normally go to adult movies. But once in a while, with my little daughter, we decide to go to the theaters to discover the magic of animation. I do frequently criticize movies that do not have strong stories. And animated movies are part of those. But the four movies of Tinker Bell are outstanding. Not only because of the animation or the creativity involved in every situation, but specially because the story is normally so strong, and the characters are so well defined, that a sense of emotion comes from me and my family at the end of the movie, and when any movie touches you in some way, it has achieved its goal. Totally recommended for families and people who wants to discover something new in a classic story. See more delysid d 07/27/2019 black gold! texas T! See more 06/06/2011 The most interesting part of this film is the on the streets footage of Baghdad and surrounding areas. I guarantee you've NEVER seen this on network TV. Lots of interesting interviews and speculations about overall USA/ Oil Companies long range goals for explotation of oil of not only Iraq but also the region and the ongoing strategic games between USA- China and Russia. The film makers did bungle a page out of The Peak Oil Theory play book as they speculate by 2010 North American oil production and resources would be depleted. See more 11/02/2010 mention some intersting facts and some probably unknown truth,.... but today I think that at least in europe we are informed of the unnecesserity of this war and the intrests that the important world players had in it. See more 08/19/2008 Very important and influential movie. Some deductions are not explained adequately to suit my skeptical mind, but the bulk of the evidence is enough to show that the plan to invade Iraq existed LONG before 9.11. See more Read all reviews
