The 11th Hour ultimately blossoms into a 21st century PSA of sorts, buoyed by hope and optimism...

| Apr 23, 2021

Fails to address any of these basic questions while maintaining itself as a more humanitarian perspective on these critical environmental issues.

The montage rolls inexorably forward, pitched somewhere between Koyaanisqatsi and An Inconvenient Truth.

As much as for what it says, the film is important for how it says it, in a manner that is easy to understand and hard to ignore.

| Original Score: A | Oct 18, 2008

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2008

A cautionary tale sounding the alarm that we're close to the tipping point of wholesale ecological disaster, if not already irreversibly past it.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 6, 2008

...feels like something we've all seen and heard before.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 4, 2008

A heavy dose of hysteria along with copious scientific data means that, even at 90 minutes, it can feel unwieldy and quite overwhelming. Still, if you're able to handle the pace, it is in the end, a positive eye-opener.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2008

Too scattershot to land any effective punches.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2008

Well-intentioned save-the-planet doco is dense with factoids but ultimately something of a bore.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/6 | Sep 22, 2007

While it's a well-constructed doc, full of relevant information and geared toward those people who still might be fence-sitters on the subject, there's something missing... a sense of maddened outrage.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2007

On a subject as grand as the planet, we need expert testimony. That's what The 11th Hour delivers. Finally. The film's power is its objective and authoritative declarations.

What is there to say about The 11th Hour? There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It does exactly what it sets out to do.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 19, 2007

...deserves credit for passion and good intentions...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 14, 2007

It's almost an eco-message companion piece to the recent Iraq documentary, 'No End in Sight': It relies on the strength and logic of its arguments rather than on appeals to emotion or partisanship to make its points.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 14, 2007
