i think that this film and all that global warming is one of the biggest lies ever ... film is very good made but it is one big lie. it might be an influence of pollution into global warming ... but not as much as they show us. if anyone want to know more about that ... just try to research. there is many many lie's in what American movie maker are poisoning us. (and they government), start to convince You with 2 titles for the start: zeitgeist: the movie and afterwards check 2nd part: zeitgeist: addendum. maybe there ios a little info about global warming, but if You seen this You might have a future need to see more of that kind of movie. Anyway ... good made film but i don't believe that this movie present real source of our problems ...

The message is there in this film but the idea given is simply unattainable. The scientists and important figures featured are appalled at how destructive we are as a society. Thing is we ARE a destructive society we use manipulation and intimidation along with power and strength to control what we feel is rightfully ours. Not all of society is like this way but a majority of it is and what the interviewees fail to realize is that, that will never change. Only a small few will take on the challenge of global destruction put forth by humans in an attempt to reverse the damaging effects but attempts to conquer it will be thwarted by the ruthlessness of man.The issues arisen in the film are indeed relevant but have already been assessed as a major impact on the part of change and therefore makes this film seem dated.Imagery and narration are beautiful but the film lacks a realistic approach to a solution that is inevitable.

Leonardo DiCaprio narrates a disturbing yet infinitely hopeful look at global environmental change and what needs to be done now in order to insure a livable world for ourselves and our children.Certainly some people will no doubt label the movie 'alarmist". These are the same ones who undoubtedly are still ignoring the tons of scientific data to the contrary. Sticking your head in the sand is always easier than doing something about the problem.By the way, this film is not simply a rehash of An Inconvenient Truth. It takes that information and builds on it; bringing viable, workable solutions to all of the various, interrelated problems that together contribute to the crisis facing our world today.My hat's off to DiCaprio and the rest of the talented and knowledgeable people who brought this informative documentary together.The only question is; will we listen? The 11th Hour is now out on DVD, so take the time to watch it. Your children will thank you for it.

I went into The 11th Hour expecting a straightforward, didactic documentary summarizing the current threats from global warming. If not for a momentary interest on the subject, I would have probably passed it up altogether. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was extremely nuanced, being an insightful and scientific investigation on mankind's role in global warming.Rather than spurting out random facts and events (like most documentaries), The 11th Hour uses a wide range of viewpoints to build a conceptual foundation that explains the general scientific impression of global warming. Some of the ideas may end up being wrong, but all of them are at least plausible. The different speakers include Paul Hawken, Wangari Maathai, Mikhail Gorbachev, and (my favorite) Stephen Hawking. There are many different ideas communicated, but they are all based on the same underlying principle. The structure of the documentary is very dialog heavy, which can feel overwhelming at times but is guaranteed to bring forth new knowledge to viewers.The main ideas are nothing new for most people educated on environmental news, but the speakers submit some profound new ways of looking at them. A common theme was relating Earth's existence to the human civilization's existence. If we continue to progress global warming, the planet might be able to heal itself eventually, but only once humans are gone. One thing I found especially interesting was the consideration of the economic value of nature, which ended up being roughly two times greater than the world's industrial wealth.My only significant complaint is that the film is often rough in style, organization, and editing. The images sometimes feel out of place or even distracting from the message. Occasionally, the images rapidly jump between completely different environments, which can be hard to process. To be sure, most of the cinematography was excellent, but it just wasn't put together in the best way. Overall, it could have been more focused.The 11th Hour is an insightful and inspiring documentary on one of the most important topics to date. It provides a balanced and comprehensive conceptual overview on the human role in global warming, but also expects viewers to take this knowledge out of the theater and implement it into their own lives. It is extremely educational experience.
