Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
PodBill Just what I expected
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Steineded How sad is this?
Leofwine_draca BEFORE THE FLOOD is an engaging documentary that reminded me of the same quality as a Werner Herzog film. It stars the constantly improving Leonardo DiCaprio as the host, exploring the topic of climate change and visiting various places in the world on the front line: the palm oil plantations of Indonesia, the melting ice shelves of Greenland, the horrendous tar pits of Canada. The topic is explored in a clear and concise way, without preaching, just focusing on facts and methodologies that could be utilised to prevent the kind of mass damage than mankind is doing to our planet. An all-star cast of interviewees helps to make this a thoroughly watchable documentary, perhaps one of the most important of our time.
Emilio Gelado Outstanding documentary to face the problem that is the climatic change, but it sins of certain failures. The most serious fail that I see is addressing the cause of climate change from the point of view of fossil fossils. Some of the biggest emitters of CO2 are the cattle and the felling of tropical jungles for the food of that won or the plantation of oil of palm and the subjects are treated of fast and superficial way in the documentary. Another mistake is to show that all countries, especially the US, are committed to CO2 reductions when most industrial countries welcomed the Paris agreement with great reluctance, For example, the Trump administration has decided not to apply the signed in Paris. Finally, I think the should talk about nuclear energy as one of the alternatives to fossil fuels. Despite all these "failures", it is a great documentary and shows the public this problem and the pressures of the lobbies in the US congress.
jlond19 A very good documentary that shows the reality that our world is living, that global warming is something real and also show why human are responsible of that, and that we are the ones that can make the change and help our world
pantananket This movie provides information about climate change that challenges people around the world. Most people ,especially scientists, accept that human activities lead to this issue. However, politicians do not believe in this problem as they may close relationships with other interests if they pay more attention to resolve environmental problems.From my point of view, I was really impressed with Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, an automobile company. It is because that imposing carbon tax is the most effective way to change consumers' behaviors. At least, this method can reduce overconsuming on products that emit too much CO2 and lead people to consume more environmentally friendly products. In addition, government can manage this amount of money to resolve another environmental problem.I like this movie since it not only shows environmental problems that have already happened around the world , but also provides good information through many interviews, especially those who work to protect our world. Moreover, it leads me to see this problem through different perspectives.I rate this movie 8/10. Although it motivates and raises people's awareness of global warming, the way that this movie tells the story should be more interesting and easy to understand for children. As children are the foundation of society, this movie can educate them and also enhance them to make our world better in the soon future.
