The Oscar winning An Inconvenient Truth created a huge stir around the world upon its release in 2006.Unleashed upon the movie going public at a time where Climate Change/Global Warming was just starting to gain everyday notice, should've been president and one time vice-president Al Gore's film was an insightful and debate raising documentary that appeared at the right place and the right time.Fast-forward to 2017 and this sequel, that perhaps wasn't exactly being cried out for or demanded hit our screens and now home viewing arenas to mixed results, both financially and critically but despite not carrying the same power or drive as Gore's first call to arms, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is still a thought provoking experience even if it lacks a real central driver.At times feeling a bit aimless in its nature, its key that Gore is still such a captivating and inspiring figure, as whenever he is on screen this documentary rides off the back of the great public speaker whose passion and commitment to making a difference is to be commended and a cause you can easily respect no matter your views on the topic he is preaching around the world.No matter where Gore is on stage or where he is intervening, the one-time big-wig of American politics is a captivating figure.If there was a real true driver to this film that is more a fly on the wall experience as we journey with Gore and his team from various locations, delivering the climate change message, it's the key part Gore played in the 2016 climate change summit in Paris and how the well-respected figure used his clout and contacts to help make things happen at the summit that may never have come to fruition without his help and guidance.Final Say - While unquestionably lacking the power of the original, An Inconvenient Sequel is still a stark reminder of how our planet is heading towards some hugely important moments in existence and a further reminder to the United States on what they missed out on when George W. Bush was first elected in 2000.3 ½ wading boots out of 5

A powerful documentary which is lacking in definitive facts. The first 20 minutes are spot on showing alarming symptoms of climate change, but most of the rest are merely political maneuverings and false promises straight from Gore's propaganda machine.Both global warming and ocean acidification are due to excessive amounts of Green-House Gasses be released into the environment. It is only through ending GHG emissions that climate change can be halted, yet Gore insists on pointing to wind & solar (which currently form a hybrid power system with piped methane gas) as the best alternatives to fossil fuels. A shame RE proponents aren't more enthusiastic about nuclear power as Gore Sr was back in the 1950's.Gore Jr's behind the scene's work at the COP21 may be admirable in intention and genius in execution, but do little to advance an actual solution to the climate change problem. Unlike the efforts of actual scientists attending Cop21 {energyforhumanity dot org/en/news-events/events/2015/efh-summary-achievements-cop21-paris}, Gore is more fluff (and personal profit) than substance.Other persons worth listening to on the subject are James Lovelock {https://youtu dot be/mYP22KfI8lw}, Bruno Comby {ecolo dot org}, and proponents of Eco-Modernism {www.ecomodernism dot org/authors}.

I was told to "have fun!" at the cinema and thought to myself: "hardly" because of that serious and guilt-inflicting-matter, but I was so wrong:Al Gore showed us how important it is for us to think globally as sisters and brothers and demonstrated the devastating stupidity of narrow minded fanatics but mostly the heart-warming connection between world-peace, intercontinental and bipartisan love and support .When I came out of this movie I wasn't as frustrated or guilt-ridden as before, neither was I inclined to lean back in despair or frustration anymore; but I was filled with tears of an re-opened heart, and freshly inspired to share my love for the planet and humankind.So I ask everyone who blindly did vote this documentary down not to simply bury their heads in the sand but to face and watch it, and thereafter cast an honest fresh vote. You will not regret it, because this documentary will make you feel better - not worse!EDIT: After having seen a documentary on how the fossil-fuel-lobby divides the population by buying opinions of scientists, I realised that the 2/3rds who downvoted positive reviews such as mine, are not people who scream their guilt-conscience into the ground, but simple shills and robots designed to distort that opinion. So if you feel that you are "one of the few" who have a sensible opinion and see that there is something dead wrong - don't despair, because you are in the majority against a bunch of programmed computers which are designed to falsify the public opinion.- -Ah, and one afterthought: With that publicity Al Gore could run for the Green-Party as president - and even though he wouldn't win, he could kick-start a third party into the race so high that it could get a discussion of the faulty non-democratic US-2-party-system started. In the long run he therewith could probably change the political landscape deeper than he ever would have done as president.

Global warming, caused by man, is all the rage. After all, some dudes in white lab coats wrote a bunch of articles about it and Al Gore sold DVDs and shirts about it, with charts about as reliable as Netanyahu's ACME time bomb picture. "Bro, you don't believe 97% of smart scientists and writers, bro, about AGW? Do you even care about the environment, Bro?"-- Ummm....Not everyone of that group is in total agreement about the timing, cause, solution, or cycles, contrary to the political and media brainwashing. There have also been articles about misinterpreted data, and studies on what we can do to truly combat global warming in coming years. If all the money they wanted was put towards climate change prevention, they could hardly reduce the warming anyway over 30 yrs. Face it, folks--this is a trillion dollar industry of scaring people to death or making people feel good by buying into the hype. The earth is really old, and goes through cycles; man is not God, though he tries to be, and I find it really funny that all these idiots pushing taxes and changes due to AGW are still flying huge jets and driving in motorcades with gas-guzzling SUVs and living in mansions that use way more power and emit more carbon than anyone. This idea is for the average joe, not the elites who push the policies and crap on everyone with it. Same as their views on gun control, sex, drugs, taxes, etc. Those laws are for the peasants, not them. Plus, every time someone says a scientist or doctor or "expert" says something, I am already skeptical. Doctors will push big pharma, cut off a man's genitals and approve of him mutilating himself, suppress kids' hormones and delay puberty, operate on women for aesthetic purposes, kill children, drug children, and this same crew thinks there are "89" genders and the govt. still locks people up for growing pot in most states. How "progressive", truthful, and enlightened are any of these dunces, in reality? I am far more concerned with tangible problems than whether Al Gore can convince people of this nonsense while flying in a jet. These people don't care about you OR The environment, only scamming you as the sheep that they see you for. Carbon taxes, population control, fear-mongering, and a globalist control by banker overlords= that is the name of their game.
