A decade after An Inconvenient Truth brought climate change into the heart of popular culture comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight, traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes—in moments private and public, funny and poignant—as he pursues the empowering notion that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.

PodBill Just what I expected
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
saccitygrl Disclaimer: Al Gore holds a special place in my heart--I was in N. Carolina during his first bid for president when he championed climate change as an issue in 1988. Also, he's also the only politician I can say I have shaken hands with, back in 1996. He's the only politician I would and will have ever gone out of my way to see in person and it was a thrill. So if you are a Gore basher, move along.I enjoyed this movie. I mean I ENJOYED this movie. It made me smile, many times. You may say thats an odd reaction to the destruction but I am one of the few who is long past bemoaning the course we have set for ourselves as a species. It is what it is.I admire Al Gore's tenacity. I envy his hope. I envy his faith in the system and in people. And I enjoyed his angry rants. Wish there was more of this in the first film--it may have helped fuel the flame when it was needed most, and cowed the trolls and predators in the only language they understand. I am not angry he continues to carry these things forward into the twilight of our collective path. He knows what he wants to save (do you?) and he will continue to fight for it. Good on him.However, to be honest the film adds nothing to the discussion. Every scientific fact stated in this film was WIDELY known and accepted in 2006 when the first AIT film came out. But, given more than a decade has passed, things have shifted by an order of magnitude or so, so now we get to see it from the perspective of a rearview mirror. I am glad there was a lot of focus on the ocean in this iteration. Climate change activists are so doggedly focused on humans and fossil fuels, they have been completely oblivious to the slow death of the one thing that maintained this biosphere and the climate in which the biosphere we know and love has evolved. Twenty years ago I would regularly argue this point with greenie granola activist types, until I realized we had reach a point in time where this issue was yet another moot point. That aside, its nice to see this truth in full living color on the screen.We also get something else in full living color--the complete and utter commitment of our "leaders" and more importantly the elite, to this collective trajectory. When the bible says greed is the root of evil, it clearly wasn't a metaphorical statement. We will now all pay for that collective "sin".If you are clueless, you won't see this film. You are the type to deny what has been knocking you repeatedly between the eyes for years because it would mean you would have to relinquish some dogma planted in your head as a child. As Rhett Butler once said, "Well, far be it from me to question the teachings of childhood." I leave you to the inevitable crash and burn.If you are in the know, this film will not do much in terms of enlightening you, or motivating you, unless you fantasize about cornering the market on renewables or some such thing.All in all, this film is beautiful. You will see things you have only read about up until now. You can relish the carnage and anticipate the further unfolding that we face. Upon leaving the film, you can take with you the feeling that you have borne witness to the great unraveling. Its a spectacle that doesn't get much airtime and for that alone it makes this film worth seeing.
BasicLogic this guy is just using this subject and topic to make himself richer and more famous. After his first film won him an Oscar, his bank account has increased beyond any average American could fathom. I think using this trendy topic to enrich himself and afford him and his wife, a two-member family, live in an over 10,000 sq.ft mansion, is just one of the evidences to expose him as a typical shameless opportunist among other similar smart entrepreneurs who could foresee and predict what's the next business opportunity to make more dineros for years to come.I didn't see any new input in this so-called sequel, only found this guy appeared in a lot of paying shows to repeat, to reiterate what he had already talked, discussed and written, a more simple-minded bore-you-to-death well-known dried up crap, merely with more crafty film editing and subtle soundtrack. There's nothing new in this film, only showed us an older, fatter, more puffy and bloated white guy who obviously has been affected by the unhealthy global warming and climate change. The only way to avoid his further deterioration is to better stay indoor of his 10,000 plus sq.ft. mansion with 24/7 climate controls. I've forced myself to sit through watching this deadbeat documentary and have found out nothing new at all. What a phony and a totally unnecessary pointless sequel only with his repetitive complaints of his unfair presidential election loss to that idiotic clown (by the way, similar presidential election outcome repeated in our latest president election; Democratic Party and most of the American voters never learned). If you are smart enough and not certified stupid like me, forget about this pointless film. Don't even bother to rent it in order not to add more dollars to this guy's bank account.
Eye_MD_B 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.
keelhaul-80856 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.
