With the fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance, An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of the most important and prescient documentaries of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself, "former President-elect" Al Gore felt an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as he had been doing throughout his political career--to the increasingly desperate crisis of global warming, and this riveting documentary is basically a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore has presented (by his own estimate, well over 1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding the reality (not "theory") of global warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis, many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating and convincing this no-frills film really is.
As we learn about the milestone events that shaped his character (including his sister's death and young son's near-fatal injuries after being struck by a car), Gore sheds the stiff demeanor of his 2000 presidential campaign and impresses us as a man with a mission, transcending partisan politics with an impassioned plea for common sense, ethical forthrightness, and passionate purpose in reversing the harmful effects of global warming through personal and political responsibility. Some may accuse Gore of exploiting global warming as a Democratic platform, but his honest conviction regarding this "inconvenient truth" (i.e. overwhelming evidence of global warming that's troublesome to those whose interests are threatened by Gore's irrefutable message) is likely to silence all but the most obtusely stubborn detractors. By taking the high road and discreetly avoiding a full-on assault against the George W. Bush administration (which has steadfastly avoided "the inconvenient truth" with obfuscating spin control and policies favoring the oil industry), Gore effectively rises above political differences with a stern but hopeful eye toward a better future for our children.--Jeff Shannon

- Al Gore is a genius.
Let's all watch Al Gore's film on our energy sucking electronics so we can feel guilty for doing so.The only person not feeling guilty about your watching this film is Al Gore who is getting PAID.Now that is an inconvenient truth.
Rating: - Great movie to put you asleep.
This movie was very boring.Two hours of crying and lying over humans destroying the earth.Scientists have already said the sun is heating up and all the other planets in the solor system are also.So this movie would lke you to think what ever you do on this planet go back to living in the 1800's and buy a horse to ride to work.Come on people were not born yesterday.If you feed into this movie then you must not mind paying a person Cap-And-Trade money to make you feel you are not destroying the planet.This ...

This film did not show me any 'proof' or a single piece of evidence that man's CO2 is causing warming or the current cooling !
FACTS:

issue was raised, there came an agreement among the UN that countries emitting high levels of CO2 must PAY a considerable amount as penalty, and US being first in rank pays the HIGHEST PENALTY (this means additional payment in taxes)

- A Must See
First I appologise to former President Carter. i didn't think much of his term in office, boy was I wrong. We are killing ourselves but for no other reason but greed. Please vue this with "Who Killed the Electric Car".
Rating: - Fakery created to dupe the masses
[...]
At best, it's a documentary on the sorry state of government-run alleged "schools" that so many can be fooled by a greedy gasbag politician who himself uses 20 times the average amount of energy as the homes of the Normal-American Community.
It may be too late already, but WAKE UP, America!Sheesh, it's just embarrassing.
