It's hard to make a visually compelling narrative out of 100 minutes of a 58-year-old man talking about carbon-dioxide emissions, but director Davis Guggenheim does it.

As lectures on film go, An Inconvenient Truth sends its message in clear and engaging fashion.

... an important subject, and... possibly an important film.
Original Score: 87/100

The material is presented clearly and, for the most part, persuasively, although the side-trips into Gore's family history... seem like the minibiographies that are traditionally served up during election time.

The educational moments work beautifully, the personal bits don't. Still, one of the year's best - frightening, compelling and at points unforgettable.

Though the information is dense and seems a bit like a college lecture, Gore and his presentation come across as quite engaging.

I doubt if this film can save the planet, but it speaks volumes for Gore's political future as his public profile is given a much needed makeover.

the documentary is so convincing that it makes opposers of the argument as credible as Holocaust deniers.

Even if you think global warming is a bunch of malarkey you'll at least be reassured that Gore is not a robotic government android.

The film succeeds powerfully, even though it's short on practical solutions, makes some questionable statements of fact and, given Gore's current ambiguous position in public life, requires a tighter focus on the message than on the messenger.

Part awkward yet surprisingly funny stand-up comedian, part wily environmentalist, whether you like Gore or hate'm, the last thing word you would use to describe Gore in his new documentary is "boring."
