2040

What an inspiring film, great to see such a positive perspective on our future for once :) Amazing work Damon!

This is a great film. It is a documentary assessing how we can manage the Earth in the next 20 years. He is an amiable (but committed) host, who takes us through the ways we can improve our planet and, it is structured as a "visual letter to his 4 year old daughter". He travels far and wide to gather his evidence and it is a well-structured "journey". I saw this film in a packed-out cinema in Melbourne (Australia) and we initially thought that we had come into the wrong cinema because there were so many children with their parents present. Asking the parent beside me, she said that she brought her children because they needed to know about this film. I can add that these children were indeed very interested in the unfolding story. It is not perfect, but it comes close, that's for sure. His presentation is quite innovative, and also engaging. Certainly an important documentary to see.

This movie shows the vision of a sustainable world, by the ideas of a father who cares for his daughter's future. There are many ways to save earth from CO2-emissions and other threatening things. What I didn't like ist that the movies makes me feel to sit in a religious meeting. All shown is presented 100 percent positively. That would be ok, if I didn't think at some point that they would change a torpedo with a watermine. Solar Energy is not effective enough. They tell about joint electric circuits in the third world and put the idea into more civilized areas, where devices are ten times more often and some of them need very much more than the view they have in the third world. The dimensions don't fit. And I had those thoughts throuout the whole movie. I thinks it's made by the right intentions, but sucks when it comes to reality. I like it, but won't give it more than 7/10. If it had better solutions, including the use of the hydrogen gas an some things like that.

The enjoyable idea of this film and the hope it inspires, should maintain interest. They don't tend to explain the various levels of corruption that we face before true change can be reflected. Fossil fuels is only one major obstacle we face in this modern society. The problem is the ignorance of the truth and the capitalism manipulating from the shadows. This documentary is more about the changes and doesn't wallow in the ugly truth. The key is the youth, and as one person who once saw the world heading in a terrible direction, I'm now quietly optimistic. Great research and unique doco filmmaking.

... you'll share the ideals this film brings to halt the rise in CO2 by 2040, in various ways - none more inspiring than through the empowerment of women the world over.
