So the movie started really slow and cold ;) just talking and talking and some weird language from "the north" until Chloe appears still talking about herself and the man she's met !! then things got a little interesting with the funny looking "freaking Eskimo" so it started to get a bit funny with Chloe steal from the Retirement home :D
So whether we agree or disagree on the importance of global warming issue ,, the movie amazingly shines a light on this making it so purposeful and it gets really emotional while Theo starts telling the story of how the "men of the south" and their capacity of destruction and their need for expansion effects other on the planet... but again it went back to be humors .. so the Genre is not so much Drama as it has comedy, thrill too and some emotional statements in the final scenes ..
The performance of Dakota Johnson is applaudable, Mira Sorvino and the others .. Theo Ikummaq was also so good, for him it's like just be there and here you are a rigid strong Eskimo or Enoch !! ;)
See the problem here was maybe all the monologues it kinda felt more like a documentary in some parts and the script could have been so much stronger and tighter .. but it felt like switching from talking to yourself to a regular scene again and again .:P
Overall ,, Maybe the script is not as strong or vigorous as you'd expect but it has some intense purposeful emotional idea and that's what made it enjoyable and catchy especially in the second half.

I have to say this film opened my eyes to the amount of ignorance we have toward humanity, it was well written with a great cast, it has a true meaning and those with a heart will be able to capture this meaning and see the world through the eyes of people who have genuine concern for not just the earth, but all those who exist in it. Thank you to all involved especially Theo who plays himself in the movie and Monica Ord a producer of the film and a true activist for the well-being of mankind. I recommend with parental guidance that this movie is for everyone. There is laughter and tears and I was able to bond with the characters unlike any other film I have seen in a long time . Please don't miss this one!!!
A Good script, a touching story and a simple way of telling the story. Do not expect the greatest of the movies but, can expect: simple directing, simple starring and a simple movie. It makes one think. Good job from Dakota. Must See In a time when everybody wants the new gadget, the more fashion clothes, the super car, this movie makes us think, just for a while, that we must take care of the planet, so that our grand grand Childs still can live here. Movies should do at least one of the following: entertain, make us think or makes disconnect for a brief moment in time. This movie makes us think, but both Dakota and Theo, makes us disconnect.
Theo is an Inuit from the Arctic. The elders have a nightmarish dream of the angry sun. They send Theo to deliver their message to the elders of the south. He arrives in NYC clueless to the modern world. He is befriended by homeless Bruce Lee fangirl Chloe (Dakota Johnson) and her circle of friends. They go to the UN but are taken to jail. They find an ally in Monica (Mira Sorvino).
This is one odd indie. I'm sure its heart is in the right place. The central environmental message is important but I fear the unrealism only detracts from it. Dakota Johnson is homeless like a billionaire is poor. The quirky humor is ill-fitting. At times, it's really heavy handed which also detracts from the central message. It's too bad because Theo is a really compelling character. A better writer could bring about a better message movie. This has too many awkward moments.

I picked this movie up at a dollar store. It took my breath away. When something really makes sense and speaks more truth than anything you will ever learn about life....it seems to remain unnoticed, ignored and hidden. This movie is heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. It speaks in volumes and depth if you are fully listening and watching. Although people are becoming fully aware of how destructive we have become to our planet and ourselves...I have to wonder if the real problem is we just do not know how to stop? I now feel inspired to find as many ways in my life to stop and make changes. Thank you to the people who took the time and effort to make this fantastic film.

- GoofsWhen the Central Park Singer is shown playing the guitar, his strumming does not match the music you hear. This is true for both the shot through the sound hole and when he is seen directly in a frontal shot.
- Quotes
Chloe: Don't think. Feel. It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger, or you will miss all of the heavenly glory.
Larry King: That was a profound statement.
Chloe: That was Bruce Lee.
