The film combines a lecture on the climatic crisis (the scenes taken from the lecture Gore has taken, by his own account, all around the world, given more than 1,000 times, and doesn't seem to engage in any adverse ascetism during these trips) with a sort of biography of Gore intended, at critical moments, to segue into the next section. The only one that is not a segue is a long section on Gore recounting the story of his child once being hit by a car and of his meltdown after he lost the 2000 Election. Such a response to such a minor event—when he now has the benefit of hindsight and knows that a flagrant challenge from Islamic totalitarianism…

An interesting documentary based on Al Gore's presentations about climate change. It's a continuously important issue but the film didn't bring much new to the table.

I expected a movie about global warming, but learning about how stupid the Republican Party is and that Al Gore grew up on a farm is interesting too I guess.
But in all seriousness. Al Gore holds an entertaining presentation and he really knows how to talk to an audience.

Don't really want to rate this, but you should absolutely watch it. Everyone should.
-
Quite possibly the best PowerPoint presentation ever put to celluloid.

So tired of watching this for school. We all know it's a good, convincing documentary, but come on.

Mucha gente niega la evidencia, pero no entiendo cuál es el motivo. Según la película hay pruebas claras y científicas de la correlación entre la temperatura de la tierra y la concentración de CO2 en la atmósfera. Las pruebas se muestran con claridad.
Es cierto que hay científicos que niegan esa correlación, pero también los técnicos que participaron en la investigación del accidente del metro de Valencia afirman que el conductor fue el único responsable.
Siempre encontraremos un roto para un descosido pero ¿por qué mucha gente cree a esos científicos?. Probablemente porque se trata de una verdad incómoda.
Por suerte, según Al Gore, no hemos de volver a la época de las cavernas para recuperar niveles aceptables de CO2. Es suficiente con usar fuentes alternativas, construir sistemas más eficientes, reciclar, ... y sobre todo: NO NEGAR la evidencia. -

Everyone should watch this. Al Gore's passion for the issue is apparent and the issue is vital to our world.

Here's more evidence" -
Gore's charm, on repeat -
Al Gore's documentary draws you convincingly into his turf and makes you worry about what we are doing (or not doing) and what we can do to fight against the effects of global warming on our planet. Despite how in-your-face the snippets of the 2004 election might feel, Gore's knowledgeable narration grasps you and doesn't let you go. He also manages to intercalate events of his life (his sister's death, his son' near-fatal accident, the aforementioned failed election) into the point he is trying to make to us.

An Inconvenient Truth may be a very important documentary and won all kinds of awards but that doesn't always make for a good movie. Hell it doesn't make for a movie at all.
I respect the hell out of Al Gore for everything he has done for environmental awareness and all of that and he deserves all of the awards that he has received for it. Well at least all of them except for the academy award. I mean seriously this is one boring as hell movie. I watched this thing but it took me all of four attempts to do so since I kept falling asleep while watching it.
The fact of the matter is that this isn't so…

I prefer Michael Moore for my left wing docs cause at least I'm entertained. This wasn't even a doc. It was a recorded lecture.

Obwohl mich das Thema Klimawandel sehr interessiert, hatte ich die Befürchtung, dass der Film sich dröge und langweilig präsentiert. Doch diese Befürchtung sollte sich nicht bestätigen. Al Gore schafft es die Thematik schön auszuschmücken und spannend rüberzubringen. Dies schafft er, indem er sich in seiner Präsentation nicht nur auf Tabellen und Diagramme verlässt, sondern diese mit Einspielern auflockert. Mit dieser Macht der Bilder erreicht er wirklich jeden Zuschauer und lässt ihn die Folgen des Klimawandels direkt erkennen. Zusätzlich schafft es Gore seine Präsentation durch einige Witze aufzulockern, so dass man nie wirklich das Gefühl bekommt in einer trockenen Vorlesung zu sitzen.
Man kann also sagen, dass mir persönlich der Film “Eine unbequeme Wahrheit” gut gefallen hat. Seitdem ich den Film…
