The 11th Hour on DVD (2007)

Christiaan from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 17/02/2008

Hands down the best environmental film I've seen. DiCaprio does a stellar job of covering a huge range of topics (the only one missing in my opinion is a discussion on nuclear power). Manages to convey the urgency facing us while offering some truly inspirational ways of looking at our current situation. If I could make films and I did a documentary on the planet and our current situation, this is probably what I'd like it to turn out like.

Edit, 18 Oct, 2008: I find the review below titled 'Utter Rubbish' puzzling, and especially so that 5 people have found it helpful. The reviewer says 'Di Caprio is rubbish - he has clearly been hired to front this, is in it for about 15 mins max and has no interest or insight into his subject matter whatsoever.' Doesn't the reviewer realise that DiCaprio is not just the narrator but one of three who wrote the film?

I cannot believe that ANYONE in their right mind sat through this rubbish and actually enjoyed it, or for that matter gained any factual insight into the Worlds environmental problems from it.

It is so bad its difficult to know where to begin. For a start Di Caprio is rubbish - he has clearly been hired to front this, is in it for about 15 mins max and has no interest or insight into his subject matter whatsoever.

Basically this is just clip after monotonous clip of statement after meaningless statement, simply the opinions of some of Americas Scientific community, most of whom probably drive to work every day in their $100,000 Lexus.

Its like watching a verbatim version of someones Holiday Snaps, no meaningful information is imparted via this documentary in any way whatsoever.

If you want to watch a decent environmental documetary with some actual evidence, statistics and real ideas in it I suggest you watch Gores version which we thought was great.

As for Di Caprio and his bunch of nerds, the best thing they could do for the World would be to reduce their CO2 emissions by shutting up.

I cannot stress how bad this really is.

Must have clicked this one by mistake actually! Didn't get passed the beginning, too depressing. We all know about global warming but I don't need to see a bunch of US patriots harp on about it. We are all forced into this recycling rubbish that seems futile, we all know that recycled glass get dumped in Japan or the Ukraine. Now on the other hand watch the documentary Earth - definately more interesting.

I was dubious about this at first when I saw that Leonardo Di Caprio was involved. By the end of it I was nearly in tears because I was so moved and scared for what was happening for this world and our chidrens futures.

Everyone should be made to watch this in the same way that during the war everyone was given a guide how to build an air raid shelter and how to put on a gas mask. Its necessary for survival.
