View Full Version : Documentary: 11th Hour
I just got done watching this and I enjoyed it. It is another one of those "global warming going to kill humans" type Documentaries. Very informative. Much better than Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth I thought.
Check out the IMDB link HERE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492931/). Check out the movie wherever you can.

I watched the DVD yesterday.. but it looks like the official release date for the DVD is April 8, 2008. It is already on the net if you know where to look. The college I work at got an early copy for classes and I borrowed it for the weekend.

so no legal coppies are out yet?
was this ever in theaters?
It was a limited release in theatres. I hadn't even heard of it until I was helping out the marine bio dept at the college with their fish tanks and noticed the DVD on the teachers desk. He said he just got it and I asked if I could borrow it for the weekend. I hadn't heard of it before and dummy me assumed it was already released. I just noticed it will be out in a week or so to the public. Sorry.. little early posting it, but look for it in a few weeks. Very informative, almost have to watch it a few times to really get all the facts to sink in that are thrown at you.
I may be the oddball, but I really enjoyed the movie and information given in it. I really wish everyone in the world would at least watch this movie just to possibly open their eyes to the extreme problems humans are creating for ourselves and the planet.
One of the most amazing facts in the movie is Humans can reduce our footprint on the planet by 90% in as little as a year, meaning no reliance on things like oil, just by changing our economic structure. Tax the heck out of oil and give great incentives for alternatives like using wind, ocean currents, sun, etc. The technology is already there, just our economic structure is setup to make the most money possible, not help the planet, so we strip mine and suck every resource we possible can from the planet.
The last great documentary I watched was called "Cold Fusion: Fire from Ice" and that was also very informative.

where do you find all these movies?
they all sound very good.
(are you allowed to share any info the the 11th hour)
I am an informating pig.. love documentaries. The only thing I can say is look up "newsgroups/usenet", which is one of the oldest parts of the internet, decades before WWW ever existed. Every ISP I know of has a newsgroup server they give customers free access to, most people just don't know about it. I really can't say much more than that without crossing the line.
As far as the movie itself, it is packed with dozens of "experts" from around the world speaking about the problems we are facing as a species. Leonardo DiCaprio is the narrator, but isn't in the movie all that much, and doesn't try and come off as knowing alot about the subject, he leaves it to the experts to tell the facts.
