Scott clearly isn't trying to make a definitive statement on the consequences of global warming -- instead he appears determined to encourage a new line of thinking.

The information here is compelling and frightening, but the movie is ham-handed.

NYC Movie Guru

Stylishly edited and timely, but it's too angry, exhausting and repetitive while failing to be inspirational, balanced or truly enlightening.

Rated: 5/10
