Look, I know it’s been out a while, but it takes time for movies like this to make their way to rural North Carolina.

But no matter where you are, you really ought to see this movie.  I’m pretty well informed about environmental issues, and it even opened my eyes.

Yes, on one level, it could be described as an Al-Gore-Gives-A-Powerpoint-Presentation movie, although Al Gore is not the issue (the whole film is non-partisan), and it’s a lot more engaging then Powerpoint.  Al Gore is merely the messenger, and it’s the science (which he makes accessible) which reaches you.  Because of the subject matter, it’ll have you on the edge of your seat, more so than a fictional adventure movie.  In ten years (unless we do something now), global warming will be the daily topic on everybody’s lips — much more than 9/11 was — and you best get informed now.

Don’t take my word for it — Educate yourself.  See the movie and/or visit the website.

UPDATE:  Amanda Marcotte writes the review I would have written if I had more time.
