    It's our generation that gets to change the world... forever.

    Good and important documentary about mostly earth, global warming and a few more things that are very important in our species. This documentary is mostly informative and despite the fragmented expositions of its well... read more-meaning interview subjects, it offers hope and a heroic sense of optimism that we can still do something about the issue.

    This first appeared on www.realmoviereview.com I applaud Leonardo DiCaprios effort to co-write and co-produce this Al Gore-style environmental warning film. I agree with his views and those espoused by the never-ending parade of speakers about the need to address the environmental collapse that threatens to destroy our way of life, and indeed our very lives, however, I think he really could have found a better way to express these views. His heart is in the right place, but Leo, my friend, heart aint enough. He has some interesting speakers but repetition might help study for a biology exam, but it doesnt do much for entertainment.

    Pack the bags, honey! Were going on a guilt trip. Al gore took us on one of these, as well, but at least he gave some amusement along the way and offered an upbeat optimistic ending that made us believe that it wasnt too late to save the whales, the tigers and all of those little humans running around ( I kind of like them). Here we are offered a parade of authors, scientists and environmental leaders telling us over and over again that we better get moving. Some solutions are looked at and those are always good to see, but a little entertainment value would have gone a long way.

    Dry, but not a bad documentary, and certainly a topic that does need to driven (ummm, or commuted on a high speed electric train) into our consciousness a couple more times at least. A little more imagination and variety would have helped out here. I know that guys like Leo and Gore like to think they are persuading, but really they are mostly preaching to the choir, (will George Bush see this film? Im guessing not - probably thinks its left wing pinko propaganda) so at least at least give us a chuckle or two along with our sermon. Still, celebrities and politicians see the publics will through box office receipts, so please see this movie.

    This movie is a documentary of the change in our world and the consequences of the industrial revolution on our environment. There are detailed accounts from experts in the field.

    Interesting plea for action to combat a global catastrophe, with a range of talking heads and fronted by DiCaprio. It is less manipulative than 'An Inconvenient Truth' and more philosophical but the interesting graphics are spoiled by being shown too quickly to take in all the in... read moreformation.

    In all honesty, this DiCaprio-narrated documentary is repetitive and less data-driven than "An Inconvenient Truth". It uses the reliable 'scare tactic' of presenting rough cuts of horrifying catastrophic images/videos, cautionary narrations from experts to persuade the audience. ... read moreHowever, "The 11th Hour" is better at giving a broader picture, covering ecology, political agendas and social roles and responsibilities, than focusing largely on climate change. It offers personal and corporate contributions for mitigation, supporting it with real-life technological examples. Also, to its credit, some interviews from the experts will resonate with any viewer with minimal sense of science and the environment, and were inspiring (to the point of fooling me that each scene is that very inspirational closing statement). Such VIP-fronted docs give a larger spotlight to such an urgent issue, and for this I applaud them.

    [color=olive][b][i]Juce sam ovaj dokumentarni film pogledao u praznoj sali: u stvari, nisam ni znao o cemu... read more je, ali sam po plakati mogao zakljuciti... [/i]

    [i]Nakon filma mogu reci samo ovo: OVAJ FILM BI TREBAO POGLEDATI SVAKO NA OVOJ PLANETI - DELITE GA BESPLATNO, cinite sta hocete, samo da se opasuljimo dok jos mozemo! Znam da nama Kosovo i takve stvari izgledaju vazne, ali planeta nam umire, a i mi sa njom... na kraju cemo mi nestati, ali ce planeta uspeti da se oporavi, bar su joj vece sanse nego nama![/i]

    [i]Mihail Gorbacov, Stephen Hawking, Andrew Weil, Leila Conners Petersen, Nadia Conners ovde govore sta misle o nasoj planeti koja je na ivici opstanka! A strucnjaci koji ovde govore se ne sale: sve su to fakti koje svi mi sa nasom decom pod ruku trebamo znati i shvatiti koliko je jos malo vremena ostalo... Leonardo Di Caprio je vodeci ovaj film pokazao svoju svest... jel je i mi mozemo pokazati, ili cemo ovo prepustiti "drugima"! [/i]

    [i]Drugi su nas do ovoga doveli? Ne: svi mi imamo udela u ovoj ludosti i svi mi mozemo pomoci da se iz ovoga izadje, ali samo ako pocnemo da cinimo nesto i to SADA. Sutra je vec kasno! [/i]

    This is definitely one of the more compelling documentaries I've seen. Unlike Al Gore's over-acclaimed global warming scare, this film is involving and hopeful. The movie's study of mankind's relation to nature is intriguing, and there is plenty here that everyone can learn from.... read more As a huge fan and admirer of Leonardo DiCaprio, I respect his involvement in this picture 100%.

    I see a lot of people complaining about "the constant barrage of information" from scientists that "goes over my head" in this film. I, on the other hand, believe what we need is a constant barage of information to combat the constant barrage of propaganda inflicted on us by cor... read morerupt officials as well as corporations that care about only one thing: money.

    It's quite an interesting film, although i would say that not everyone will like it because sometimes the explanations get a little too complicated. But it always depends on your level of knowledge of the subject matter.

    Very interesting and very well made. I actually liked this more than "An Inconvenient Truth", because I didn't feel like I was being lectured the whole time.

Critic Reviews

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

It's not a movie with a lot of answers, but The 11th Hour does push the debate further down the road. Full Review

Bruce Newman

Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

No matter what time it is in the grand, cosmic scheme of things, The 11th Hour arrives about a day late and an eco-dollar short of An Inconvenient Truth Full Review

Lisa Kennedy
August 31, 2007
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

The movie needed to reflect its own lesson: Less would have been more. Full Review

Colin Covert
August 30, 2007
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

As a call to action, it's sincere but flawed, and as an inquiry into humankind's bafflingly self-destructive tendencies, it scarcely scratches the surface. Full Review

Christy Lemire
August 30, 2007
Christy Lemire, Associated Press

It's like sitting through a college lecture and knowing with gripping dread that you're going to be quizzed on all of this afterward. Full Review

Joe Garofoli

Joe Garofoli, San Francisco Chronicle

An Inconvenient Truth was short on how to make life better. It rushed through a list of 'what to do next' offerings in the film's last few minutes. Here is where The 11th Hour shines. Full Review

Liam Lacey
August 24, 2007
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Consistent with the film's occasionally hippy-dippy tone, DiCaprio speaks about human beings engaging in a willed 'evolution in consciousness,' which sounds a little too desperate to be comforting. Full Review

Susan Walker
August 24, 2007
Susan Walker, Toronto Star

If Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth was a warning, The 11th Hour is the red alert. Full Review

Tom Long
August 24, 2007
Tom Long, Detroit News

The film lacks both the personality and central figure (as well as the all-important sense of humor) that made last year's similar An Inconvenient Truth so watchable. Full Review

Terry Lawson
August 24, 2007
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

It benefits the most by providing good advice and an abundance of well-considered ideas from forward thinkers of all stripes and persuasions who refuse to give up hope. Full Review
