Audience Member In a thinly-veiled tout for the fossil fuel industry, the film maker has assembled a panel of "experts" consisting of leaders of conservative think tanks and industry sponsored organizations. I'll save you the money: the solution to our energy problems, according to the movie, is to reduce taxes on exploration and ramp up domestic production. Interesting that one of the biggest news stories of the past decade relating to fossil fuels (greenhouse gas emissions and climate change) don't factor into the logic of this movie IN ANY WAY. The movie is designed to make dems look like fools and repugs look like victims. See if you wish, but bring a big piece of salt. This movie has to be taken with a lot of it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw a screening w/ the director doing a Q& A after. He claims and advertsies the oil companies don't like this film but the only reason I can see for that is it doesn't include ALL the points they'd like to make. The film does establish and emphasize the importance and urgency of the oil issue but basically briefly examines and shoots down alternatives and leaves us with the idea that the only near-term is to let the oil companies run free and "drill, baby, drill", everywhere, ASAP. And it's sexist to boot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
