Critics Consensus: An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power makes a plea for environmental responsibility that adds a persuasive -- albeit arguably less impactful -- coda to its acclaimed predecessor.

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is a hugely effective lecture.
As Gore admits, he's often tempted to give in to despair. Yet he goes on. Doggedness has its virtues.
Railing against rising tides, Gore emerges as a cannier performer and a more compelling subject than he was in 2006; a message that sounded critical then has become no less urgent with time.
Would I still recommend "An Inconvenient Sequel"? Sure, although I doubt there is much one could glean from this movie that couldn't be obtained by rewatching "An Inconvenient Truth."
For those of us who need no convincing of the truth of man-made climate change, but find the problem too paralyzingly abstract, Gore's workmanlike methods are both fascinating, encouraging, and, yes, even a little exciting.
Gore is seen on the phone and in meetings with various figures, pushing toward a goal of saving the planet. "The Avengers" do it with intergalactic battles, Gore does it with an iPhone and a global travel itinerary.
The bulk of the doc is spent scolding climate deniers and responding to skeptics rather than presenting clear, sound science on the issue.
That An Inconvenient Sequel chooses to focus more on the particulars of Al Gore's contributions than the situation at hand is an unfortunate misstep.
Through India, the film also addresses the developing-versus-developed-world debate over carbon emission and energy issues.
This mix of issue film and character profile is, like its predecessor, glossy and digestible in its execution, a well-produced, informative, engaging and encouraging feature.
I admired An Inconvenient Truth and find its sequel even more powerful (and necessary).
This documentary, with its slick graphics and quick re-editing, is a must-see because the issue of climate change goes beyond party lines and is again, like An Inconvenient Truth, a call for more science, not silence.
Following on a decade from when former American Vice President, Al Gore alerted the world about the threats of Global Warming and their impacts on our planet and our lives, it seems all too real now that another one of these films didn't really need to be made. However, it's most certainly a film everyone and I mean 'Everyone" on this entire planet needs to see. Rather than alluring to the obvious shocking facts and events affecting our planet and way of life, audiences actually see Al Gore for what he's really doing in real life 'being the most influential person of his generation' inspiring others to take up arms in the fight for Climate and how the world's democracies are politically unwise when it comes to using the actual solutions. But what I actually take away from this film is that despite everything we're fighting for, the film gave me a renewed sense of hope that greater change will come and when it comes only then will we look back and see how all this was done. Even before you can say "F*ck Donald Trump", just know full well how far we've come, how much of a difference we're making and how much the world is changing for the better than the worst either to ourselves or the planet. In the end it made me think, 'Deniers will deny but they will not last long, at all.'
