Seven Years Later . . .

This film was made in 2010 but great to watch now. It presents a fictionalized worst-case scenario thru the eyes of "Lucy" who is born in 2009 and by 2100 is the oldest person alive in a dystopian world. Topics covered are peak oil (it gets wrong due to fracking), drought (it pretty much nails), heat-waves (accurate), the flooding of NYC and migrants (eerily prescient) and a host of other issues still too soon to determine such as tropical diseases popping up in temperate zones, sea-level rise, the arctic methane burp, melting of Greenland. The film is US-centric, so might be frustrating for people in other countries who are tired of seeing us place ourselves at the forefront all the time. But it does mention China, India and Mexico among others -- trying to show the global extent of the problems. The film also features impressive experts such as E.O. Wilson and Jared Diamond. The greatest weakness of this chilling and very important warning message is in the "solutions" presented at the end. Like most, it suggests using compact florescent bulbs and everyone just trying harder instead of specific policy, tax and economic reforms that would put in place the incentives and policy machinery needed for sustainable economic systems. In that regard, we could badly use a sequel/remake/revisiting of this crucial topic.

deniers where are you now??

... since it's only 6 years since this movie was made, and already Lake Mead is falling toward 1/2 its normal capacity, and Hurricane Sandy flooded lower Manhattan, not to mention the Western wildfires... are you keeping score dudes?

You can see climate change coming soon in technicolor, to a denier's neighborhood whether he likes it or not.

americo-centric and naif

most of the speakers are highly qualified and very scholar, but the narrative around Lucy is very naif: they describe life in 2080 as technologically very similar to the present (gas-powered cars, internet, power grid...)... also, the director seems to believe that USA is sort of a "leading nation" with a duty to guide the rest of humanity out of this ecological predicament, while in reality USA is the nation who does the most to CREATE this predicament in the first place, with their absurd lifestyle and the aggressiveness of its corporation.... don't forget that the largest polluting entity on the planet is the USA army - but this is not even mentioned in the movie. The narrator also mentions people coming from "failed countries" as a big security threat (to Americans... the rest of the world doesn't really matter...), while forgetting to mention that USA itself is mostly responsible -with direct or indirect military, political or economical attacks - for the "failure" of these states. So on the whole this movie told me little I didn't already know (I have read all Jared Diamond books, they are excellent) and only annoyed me for its faith in Governments and americocentricity.

interesting -lovely anime

I happened upon this show on H2 and thought it was well done and thought provoking - very Japanese anime. I have actually watched it more than once for the unique way this movie was filmed and presented. I did not gain any knowledge that I didn't already know as any human being would - if we do not take care of our planet and people, our planet will not take care of us. Simple truth that anyone would know. The way that you follow the family through the years and how NYC changes is actually sad and lovely at the same time. The soundtrack and animation is very interesting. I am planning on purchasing this movie and watching it with my family. I will watch it again and again.

Crappy propaganda

First and foremost: The "apocalypse" shown in the movie is crazy one. The climate change may be very bad for people, yes, but historically it was mostly beneficial for the environment. The current "cold age" is abnormally cold, historically it was way way warmer, there was basically no ice on the poles, there was actually even polar forest! What is real problem is overpopulation, globalization (the transport of food around the world is really stupid), ecosystem destruction not short of genocide, production of toxic garbage and other waste. Please stop crying about flooded cities and the end of the civilization. You know, this has happened multiple times in the past and the impact was not that bad. The ruined cities were reused, especially in the Middle East. The oldest cities there have been "recycled" for thousands of years. And they will be recycled in the future as well.

The climate change is not the end of the world nor the nature. It is very unpleasant change for most people. But have no doubts that preventing the climate change would save us from overpopulation or new illnesses. It will not. If your city is in the path of destruction it is just simple to move the city than to try to change the nature. So deal with it and focus on more important issues like stopping the globalization that is the actual devil here - it is really outsourcing of the ecosystem destruction. Riding your bike will really not prevent China from apocalyptic destruction of forests in Africa and South America.
