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.

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

No matter what time it is in the grand, cosmic scheme of things, The 11th Hour arrives about a day late and an eco-dollar short of An Inconvenient Truth

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 31, 2007

The movie needed to reflect its own lesson: Less would have been more.

It's like sitting through a college lecture and knowing with gripping dread that you're going to be quizzed on all of this afterward.

The shadowy photography of the interviewees lends an ominous tone to nearly every scene, but what they're saying is often pragmatic and helpful.

An Inconvenient Truth was short on how to make life better. It rushed through a list of 'what to do next' offerings in the film's last few minutes. Here is where The 11th Hour shines.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 24, 2007

Consistent with the film's occasionally hippy-dippy tone, DiCaprio speaks about human beings engaging in a willed 'evolution in consciousness,' which sounds a little too desperate to be comforting.

If Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth was a warning, The 11th Hour is the red alert.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 24, 2007

The film lacks both the personality and central figure (as well as the all-important sense of humor) that made last year's similar An Inconvenient Truth so watchable.

| Aug 24, 2007

It benefits the most by providing good advice and an abundance of well-considered ideas from forward thinkers of all stripes and persuasions who refuse to give up hope.

The filmmakers take pains not to foster fatalistic gloom, concentrating on some of the progressive solutions still available to us.

| Aug 24, 2007

This movie, for all its noble intentions, is a bore. Rent An Inconvenient Truth instead. Even if you've already seen it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 24, 2007

The movie says we have to get back to the garden before complacency and ignorance hasten our demise. This is a hard argument to make without sounding kooky, but the documentary is too dire to turn dippy, cheesy, or sentimental.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 24, 2007

The picture almost beats its theme to death -- the first hour is enough -- but the imaginative designers dreaming up a cleaner future end this Cassandra cry on an upbeat note.
