Somehow, An Inconvenient Sequel is empowering, not depressing.
An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power is an important and relevant worldwide look at the environmental crisis.

Went to see this finally, and the info and updates within just as amazing as the first one, longer review later. Sadly, the former VP could not deliver his address in Paris because of the horrible terrorist attack there. The "coal trolls" giving this neg ratings not even having seen the film, need to find something a lot more positive to do with their miserable lives or get off this site entirely. This is the TOP existential issue for humans, but all other land and water species on the planet, and will be the 6th extinction as actual scientists including Neil De Grasse have talked about forever, if we don't get it under control and ****'s called the Anthropocene for a reason, people--e.g. humans will be extinct!!

Don't be afraid to see this movie about climate change. It is based on facts and tells the truth about how climate change has already affected us all over the world from floods in Florida and NYC , to drought and starvation in Syria. Every country has joined together to do something about climate change, except the U.S. because Trump pulled us out of the agreement. Everyone should see this movie and fight to make our government respond to save our planet.
Report
The movie reaches its emotional climax with the signing of the accords. But even under the best of circumstances, climate change offers no quick solutions. “This is a mission I have dedicated myself to,” Gore says, a mission that remains “a constant struggle between hope and despair.”
As a character study, it’s highly successful, but given the context it will be watched in — albeit not quite as oxygen-deprived and manic as Sundance — it feels a little too pat.
An Inconvenient Sequel does indeed speak truth to power, but the elephant in the room remains: The very powerful rarely pay attention to the utter truth.
Like many sequels, Truth To Power is bigger but messier than its predecessor. While it doesn’t quite deliver the oomph of the original, it is still a timely, persuasive wake-up call.
An Inconvenient Sequel is more a portrait of Gore than a call to arms. It ends with a sort of forced positivity, much of which is recycled directly from the first movie: political change is hard, but we can do it, morality demands it.
I saw a lot of reviews complaining that not enough time was spent on educating people about the science. I am glad that Al Gore did not spend as much time as these people desired. It would not have been much of a sequel if it did that. Let the scientists debate the science. We need people inspired to do something about the problem and this film does a great job inspiring people despite the despair we may feel given the kind of inaction and scorn associated with this issue. Make no mistake though - it is a very informative film, although not about the science, but more informative about the fight and challenge to get broad acceptance and co-operation to actually do something.
A shout out to all Indians. You should see this movie to understand some of the India related politics on this issue. It is a message of hope for those of us who especially felt hopelessness on this issue in India for the longest time. It is very interesting to learn what happened behind the scenes.
I'm realizing that writing a review for this documentary without spoilers is a bit difficult, and I'm going to try my best. Now obviously, I believe that climate change is a real thing, and I don't debate this because I don't like to pretend that I understand the science. But when the scientific consensus is there and when we have seen quite a lot of evidence of increase in Climate related episodes throughout the world, I find it undeniable. The film does a good job presenting the evidence for this once again. And yes... there is a bit of discussing how the original films predictions were mostly correct without trying to lecture. Now obviously the people who say that they don't believe this stuff after watching the first film as an adult are unlikely to appreciate this movie. My impression is that these people are close minded on this issue - so I would not recommend this movie for you. But if there are those of you out there who are at least interested in hearing about the challenges that our side goes through to fight against your side, I promise that you will find interesting information and perhaps even some gratification that you are doing a good job in slowing us down on this issue. Yes... you should watch this movie. At the very least I would like to see your sides rebuttal documentary - there is always one. I will be sure to watch it.
Overall, this documentary presents a message of hope that we can and are doing something to deal with the problem of climate change, and it does an excellent job delivering that message and showing the challenges that are faced and overcome.

Just like the title, this follow-up feels longer. Al Gore is back to amplify his treatise about the terrifying effects of global warming. The core message makes it dramatically clear that climate change is our fault and we can fix it. This is told with effective statistics and sometimes astonishing visuals. Since this is a sequel, there's more of Gore travelling around the world meeting with people. As a film, it starts to bog down with his behind-the-scenes proceedings at the Paris Agreement. Even so, the amplification of his original message is more vital than ever, which makes the film important.

I'm a big supporter of former VP Al Gore's environmental efforts. I think his hard work - displayed here - to help protect the planet from fossil fuel-caused climate change is well worthy of admiration. There are some fascinating sections, such as the footage of Greenland's glaciers starting to crumble. But I didn't learn much from watching this. Instead of being an informative and/or intriguing documentary, this seemed more like a long infomercial for Gore's campaign and for Gore himself.

Most of what was forecast in the first climate activist movie, "An Inconvenient Truth", has turned out to be wrong! It's models, not laws of nature. Models are more or less correct. They are never exact. The models used have turned out to be wrong. Furthermore, at the heart of science and the scientific method is the rule that a claim or theory has to be falsifiable. The task of scientists is then to try and falsify, i.e. prove that the claim or theory is wrong. This effort should never stop. Scientists are still trying to prove that Einstein’s 100-year-old Theory of General Relativity is wrong! What climate activist now demand is that the climate models shouldn’t be criticized or questioned. This goes against the fundament of science and proves that “Climate Science” no longer is science. It is now ideology.
Climate science has been hijacked by green activists.
Report
There is a fine line between intelligent concern about the environment and an intellectually vacant zealotry aimed shutting down opposition. Al Gores movie is the only disaster here.
