	The movie is an impressively large collection of common places concerning the interaction between the environment and humanity. The structure is simple: famous or not so famous people giving their oppinion on industrialization while we are shown altrernating images of disasters and the beauty and greatness of our Planet. Often, instead of words, these shots are the main means of conveying the simple message: We all are heading in a VERY unfavourable direction, and we all really should do something about it. The second half of the film makes a weak attempt to elabourate on what exactly it is to be done. In fact, they come up with nothing new, stick to the orthodox green mantra: renewable energy resources, use, consume less. The film completely lacks scientific data, in fact any kind of quantitization of what is happening. On the other hand, only one perspective is given. I am not missing the representation of a strong anti-environmentalis view, or showing any doubt in global warming. However, there are several valid, contradicting and still responsible and environmentally concious ways of approaching these problems. Unfortunately, only the simplest one is presented in the movie: It's bad, bad, bad, Do something, do something, do something. I did not learn anything from the movie. Some of the footage is, in fact, very impressive. (4/10)
