Worthy amateurs get my goat
I’m afraid the dreaded term “worthy” is the only one that I can honestly use to describe this film; while I actually agree with its premise, as cinema it left me cold. (We were promised that it would leave us shocked and devastated by the end of the picture; I found myself devoid of emotional reaction.) Those who hated Al Gore will predictably hate this more — those who liked “An Inconvenient Truth” may be somewhat disappointed.

Pete Postlethwaite lends little more to this film than the lustre of his name (considerable), as his part is scarcely a demanding one. In fact, my credulity was severely strained by the script towards the end when his character appeared to imply that the entire ‘Earth archive’ in which we discover him was not the legacy of the human race, but apparently his single personal hobby project — clearly our future descendants will be very advanced indeed! I was also annoyed by the way in which direct action against wind-farms (BAD) was juxtaposed with direct action against Alpine tunnels (GOOD) without any apparent awareness of the fact, let alone ironic intent; if nothing else, this seems poor editing! I suppose I’m just immune to single-viewpoint campaigning; the wild enthusiasm they were attempting to whip up at the “People’s Premiere” (another term, alas, that makes me cringe) was not my cup of tea at all. The only sections I could actually identify with were the French-language segments with the old guide (and the unintentional humour of his clients’ attempts to converse with him in pidgin French — a much-needed touch of irony); this was a world and a viewpoint rooted in reality, and the only one which actually told me something I didn’t already know.

The message I think the film was trying to convey is a worthwhile and indeed an important one, that action against climate change needs to be taken immediately if it is to have any effect at all. But it is diluted and diverted by a seeming lack of focus onto the evils of colonisation, the misdeeds of big oil companies, and anything else that also riles the directors’ sense of global injustice. As a campaigning tool I can only see it appealing to the converted, and — as in my case — not to all of those.
