Revolution

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.

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.

An incredible film by an incredible man.

Gorgeous underwater photography - phytoplankton at night, schools of fish moving in fantastic patterns, lemurs in Madagascar dancing and sunbathing!! The interviews with scientists, conservationists and activists present wholistic views on the issues - which left me feeling educated, optimistic and inspired.

The film takes you through a visual history of underwater and terrestrial life in order to better see where we are and what needs to happen.

Essential viewing for all.

This film will open your eyes to the destruction of the planet, and hopefully inspire you to take action. I found it very emotional and motivating.

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!
