An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power
A decade after An Inconvenient Truth brought climate change into the heart of popular culture comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight, traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes—in moments private and public, funny and poignant—as he pursues the empowering notion that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Good movie but grossly overrated
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Like a couple of others who've reviewed, this is my first review on IMDB. Reason being is people need to watch this documentary- and all others like it- its an extremely important issue, and one that we cannot know too much about. While this isn't the BEST climate change documentary I've ever seen, I still found it good. Al Gore is a great speaker, well educated on the topic (unlike some reviewers here) and it did give an inside look into the Paris Climate Change negotiations which was interesting. To those who gave it 1, 2 and 3 stars because you think the science behind it is fake... All I can say is I hope that you are lying on the beach the next time a hurricane hits. Let the ones with common sense survive, and let the Trump supporters be swept away with the twigs.
2/25/18. Not as ground-breaking as its predecessor but necessary. That's because one would think that since 2006 we would have seen some progress towards a more global addressing of what is basically a fact of life. Yes, there is the 2015 Paris Agreement in which only ONE country has not joined the rest of the world's countries to address this issue. That's good progress. This sequel just adds more statistical evidence that climate change will have serious effects on the environment that will affect mankind as well. See 2006's "An Inconvenient Truth."
28th STOCKHOLM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. DAY 2, NOV 9th 2017. Swedish premiere.The message is as important as ever, some of the video clips featured are truly harrowing, but the film itself is much less engaging.Eleven years after Davis Guggenheim's (director) and Al Gore's (writer) groundbreaking and very important documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" (2006), Al Gore now returns in the sequel, again written by Gore but directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk. It's not as impressive.
Watched the Inconvenient Truth years ago and was very concerned about the state of the Climate. Since then... nothing. Just about all of his predictions did not come true ie Gore claimed in his 2006 film that by 2016, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa would be snow-free (did not happen),Gore also claims temperature rise from increases in man-made carbon dioxide emissions were "uninterrupted and intensifying." He claimed heatwaves will become more common, like the one that killed 35,000 people across Europe in 2003.what actually happened to global temperature after Gore's film was released? Global temperatures showed little to no warming trend . In fact, surface temperature data showed no significant global warming for a period of about 15 years, starting in the early 2000s. These are just 2 examples from the first film. There are many more!! I believe now that Gore is conning us and getting rich doing it.. Now more false claims in this movie.I find it interesting that his first movie about the end of the world, has a sequel... how ironic!!
