This "documentary", is for 3 types of people: 1. Those that believe the moon landings were fake, that 9/11 was perpetrated by the Jews, that slavery was good, that the Earth is flat, etc. 2. Those that like to make fun of group number 1. And 3. Actual scientists who wish to know how depressing our education system (especially math and science) is in the U.S. I'm sorry if my review spoiled your viewing. Many climate change deniers like to support their beliefs by saying that climate change is only a theory. The third group above will probably most appreciate this next statement, but here goes. Too often, people seem to confuse theory with hypothesis. Gravity is a theory. Relativity is a theory. Global warming is a theory. Most (if not all) of the evidence supports it. Hypotheses, on the other hand, are that global warming is cyclical and due to solar flares and that autism is caused by vaccinations. Little or no evidence supports these hypotheses yet. Phil Valentine jokes that this "doc" was not funded by the oil industry, but then fails to mention that he is associated with the Tea Party and the Koch brothers. Again, I apologize if these spoilers ruined your viewing experience.
... View MoreI saw the movie opening night in Nashville and loved it.Let me say up front that I do believe in global warming, and do believe man has a part to play in it. I do not however believe everything I hear or read and I actively search out new sources and opinions on research and data interpretation.Mr. Valentine, through this movie, is not so much trying to disprove global warming as much as he is asking viewers to be skeptical and ask questions. And he asks some VERY good questions. To say he oversimplifies his criticism of the establishment would be a disservice to those who may not be familiar with his viewpoint, and by ignoring it you yourself prove your unwillingness to learn.It's more than a documentary about bad science, it's politics and social engineering as well.... Interviews with students at Vanderbilt Univ. show how even the best and brightest have drank the kool-aid without really thinking about it.Valentine effectively asks us to reexamine what we commonly accept as base fact, and causes us to question what the messenger is trying to hide. Ignoring one while accepting another, without fair consideration of both, is a trap.Thanks Phil, you done good.
... View MoreThis was absolutely wonderful! Thanks for having the guts to tell the truth! This took a lot of work and time to make, that's obvious. It was so interesting I didn't leave my seat for a second. There was a lot of good information, some I knew and some I didn't. I would recommend this, and have, to anyone with an open mind. Al Gore has lied to so many people for so long, and it's refreshing to get the real information out there. I actually went to see this movie, unlike so many who rated it badly. And I think they shouldn't be able to rate it unless they saw it. The truth may hurt them, but it doesn't change it. Thank you so much, Phil.
... View MoreThe movie is entertaining as well as very informative. Lot of information in the film so better plan to see it a couple of times. Should be a requirement for all students grade school thru college age. Hope everyone gets behind this film and take to all of the masses. Love you Phil!!! Specifically the scenes in front of Gore's house. The film has very credible interviews. Everything was done with real FACTS. The movie never lagged. Very factual. Scenery is beautiful and the cinematography is very well done. Music is really great too and very appropriate for the movie scenes. Nice to see a movie that presents facts instead of fiction.
