Revolution

The graphics in this movie are exceptional. Not to mention the audio throughout the film is amazing. It enhances the beauty of the shots taken.

The efforts put forth by the director Rob Stewart to capture all aspects of environmental issues was well presented. He captured a wide array of footage from different countries, underwater and even during the midst of protests. Especially the underwater filming which makes you as a viewer feel as if you are there with Rob in the ocean.

Conducting interviews with environmentalists, scientists and most inspiring children he provides in-depth information on the issues. The parts of the movie where Rob talks to children who have already started to slowly make a difference is very moving.

The movie makes you realize the danger our future is in and gives motivation to actually do something about it.

Overall a great documentary that everyone that everyone must watch!

Covers a range of issues, joined with an engaging personal narrative and culminating in a message that there is hope but we need to get involved in the movement for good. Great cinematography including beautiful underwater scenes and well produced overall.

Whilst it has a similar message to 'An Inconvenient Truth' or 'Age of Stupid' it also has something in common with David Attenborough wildlife films before it goes on to cover the Canadian tar sands issue. Then it specifically deals with the need for international cooperation at climate conferences and the need to hold politicians who attend to account, and how young people are so engaged and involved. While we have annual climate conferences this will always be topical.

Rob Stewart grew up as an animal lover and became a filmmaker. In 2007, he released Sharkwater to tackle the shark finning industry. He is then forced to face a much greater threat to the global environment. It starts with the lost of coral due to ocean acidification and the movie closes with the fight against the tar sands in Canada.

The first half has some interesting underwater filming and a healthy helping of environmental diatribe. It gets a little unbalanced as it concentrates more on the tar sands and railing against Canada at an environment conference. It's not as pretty as underwater life and it is very much tilting at windmills. I'm not convinced of the effectiveness of these environment conferences. There is a naivety to the world that is rather pathetic. They're going to war against powerful forces and their only weapon seems to be shame.

I am a big fan of Rob Stewart's work. He had me at Sharkwater. His latest film shows beautiful footage of some of the world's amazing living things, and then the not so beautiful as well, such as Alberta's oil sands. Stewart is very humble in his approach, acknowledging the importance of holding yourself accountable for environmental impacts, and he definitely does not leave his own impact out of the equation.

The best feature of this film is that it is highly empowering for youth. As an educator, I highly recommend taking your students to see this film. Our school took every kid from grade five through eight to see it before it even hit theatres. It is potentially in theatres for only a few weeks so go now before it is too late.

Totally Moved By this Film - Actually if you live on this earth you should see this movie! We are literally consuming the planet and all the resources on the planet that create life - it is time to reassess our wants and needs so we stop destroying the future for generations to come. This stunning motion picture will open you eyes to the fact we need to change and we need to start by educating everyone around us. They need to be aware of their actions, they need to decide to do something to sustain the planet not destroy it. Fight for something you love or believe in- don't sit by and watch your kids future be consumed. Get involved. Tell your friends to go see this movie - it will change their lives, it has already changed mine !!!
