2 out of 5 stars The modern "Faces Of Death"    January 9, 2009
C. Marziliano (Fresno, CA.)
Watching this was very depressing. Everything that has gone wrong in this world. Too much to think about and worry about. It is a chain reaction that will not stop.


4 out of 5 stars Let's Stop Debating and Do Something...    December 21, 2008
M. Bruner (Oklahoma!)
I would consider myself a community activist and try to do what I can to save the planet earth. But after viewing this film, it seems that I'm not doing enough. This documentary is based in science and provides easy to understand connections to the problems of the world and global warming. The problems are clearly stated, viable solutions are given and reasons why we (Americans) are not heeding the warning signs are discussed. Whether you are "green" or not this film is for you. It may change your mind (one way or another) on why you need to do more in saving the planet.

As a political science professor, I use this film as part of a class project on grassroots change. The video does have a few moments of slow action or communication of fact and the wording describing who is speaking and what they do is too small to read. Even though I had a few students with moments of eyelid heaviness over all most stayed engaged. It was definitely worth 95 minutes of class time as the discussion that followed was extraordinary.

We are in the 11th hour, don't sleep on making changes that will not only save you money but save our planet for the next generation. So let's stop debating and do something...

Important information for humans to integrate into their lives. Don't stop here, though. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Hannah A. Parker (Alabama)
I received this DVD last week and could not be happier with the scope of the film and the diverse cast of experts used in the production of The 11th Hour. This was actually purchased as a Christmas gift for my 8 year old son, but I decided to show it also to my 12th grade Economics class as I wanted them to be aware of the issues involved with our continued wreckless destruction of our home, the Earth, and for them to understand that it will be on their generation to help come up with the ideas that may change our current course.
In my opinion, The 11th Hour tells the story of the enviromental destruction of our planet in a constructive way. In other words, it sets up the current picture, but then leads the audience to think abouth how we could change the way we look at things so that we might be able to change to more sustainable ways of life in the future.
I know this video had an impact on several students as I could tell that they were asking questions in a more concerned manner than usual. One student, who is very bright, but who has been brainwashed by the pro-oil lobby into believeing that global warming is not a real event, looked very flustered and defensive when he made derogatory comments towards the film. You could just see the question in his voice and on his face. At least he is considering that he might possibly be wrong and that, just maybe, he has been sold a line of bull by the right-wing Republican (Bushies/Fox News) establishment.


4 out of 5 stars A Must See Movie    November 29, 2008
Steve Fox (USA)
Although others I watched this movie with thought it was too long, I found that it had profound insights, elegantly expressed, and is well worth watching and discussing with family and friends. We are offering it, along with a panel discussion, to our congregation here in Los Angeles.
