Movie: Inconvenient Truth

I was afraid to watch this film because it would be too depressing, reminding us that the earth as we know it is being destroyed and very little is being done to stop it.  Kind of makes you want to jump off a cliff.

Al Gore explains in layman's terms the compelling evidence of global warming.  Unlike most documentaries which become those "talking head" movies, this one steers clear of that and isn't too boring. There are some tedious parts, but overall, it is very interesting and watchable.

Rather than learning more about Al Gore, however, I would have liked to hear more of the hard science.  He explained a little about how some of the science was done, but more may have been dull, but it would have made the movie more substantive.  I would have liked some of these scientists to be interviewed and seen names and institutions doing this research.

Overall, it is a good film with an important message and well worth your time.
