Critics Consensus

Alternative energy is a business and not a sustainable solution, but beyond that, offers partial information that's unlikely to motivate change.

Spirituality & Health

The film's broad-based approach can be uneven. Gibbs isn't nearly as compelling a figure as some of the activists he interviews and portrays...

The New Republic

A feature-length made by an avowed environmentalist in 2020 could arm the public with information to work toward a better place along that spectrum...Gibbs doesn't have such critical democratic engagement in mind.

[U]nlike Moore, Gibbs is an understated and somewhat flat narrator.

Ultimately, it leaves us unsettled, with a marked sense of instability and doom. [Full review in Spanish]

Cineuropa

The film plays out like a tale being told. The Italian director dares the audience to believe it is real.

Lola On Film

In taking on the shadow aspects of the environmental movement, the filmmakers have their hearts in the right place. Not sure about the corporate environmentalists.

Rated: 3/5

As with all Michael Moore productions you can't take things verbatim. There is a lot of sketchy logic and cherry picked stats but the central tenet that green energy isn't always as green as it's advertised deserves scrutiny and the film opens the debate. The film almost tacitly places green energy as being as bad as coal though, which is odd. Watched on YouTube.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

You need to see this. If you are sensitive, do not watch the last 8 minutes. I cried over it for an hour. It still upsets me. The truth is out there, just not with big industry. This message resonates now and for the next crucial decades. We are being massively hoodwinked.

Boycott this movie! This movie is filled with misinformation, deliberately misleading and inflamitory. Watch "Planet of the humans debunked" on you tube before making any conclusions. Shame on you Michael Moore and Jeff Gibbs for making money from this travisty

Very well made, thought provoking docu-movie. There were a couple of omissions from consideration but overall, excellent and very brave documentary.

The simple fact is we all want to do the right thing...or do we? When I see Bill McKibben fumble to respond about Germany's use of "green energy" it is so telling and it reveals something utterly sinister. This armpit is living in Vermont pretending to be the future energy Czar for future president Sanders, yet he won't have an honest dialogue about BioMass because he is so dark and convinced America sucks that he refuses to use his eroded Harvard "educated" mind that focuses on everything wrong America: Pretty Transparent.
