  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-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. It is also narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, who brings the 11th hour to light. It's not too late to change our ways to save the environment.

  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… More
  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 information.

  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. However, "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.

[/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"!

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!

  Important in subject matter yet woefully ineffective in presentation.

  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. As a huge fan and admirer of Leonardo DiCaprio, I respect his involvement in this picture 100%. Very good stuff.

  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 corrupt officials as well as corporations that care about only one thing: money. I guess they don't seem to realize that they and their children (and on and on) live here too... This is eye opening just as is "An Inconvenient Truth".

  This documentary is more than just about the climate change (for example AN INCONVIENT TRUTH), it also involves the humanity in every sense of the word. It projects how humans and any living and organic things are cooperating in this world, and how our actions affect the environment.… More
  This documentary is more than just about the climate change (for example AN INCONVIENT TRUTH), it also involves the humanity in every sense of the word. It projects how humans and any living and organic things are cooperating in this world, and how our actions affect the environment. 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. It's more informative as to what has happened to the Earth and about what we can do to help stop Global Warming. Oh, and hearing Leonardo DiCaprio's voice for an hour is much more soothing than Al Gore's. Definently worth a look!

  insightful... deff a good look at what we are doing to our world... i recommend to anyone...

• Lee K

  
  Although highly imformative i found this movie extremly dull. It didnt have the charisma behind such as an inconvenient truth did. I still think nonetheless that this movie should be shown on normal tv free of charge to the whole world.
