It's a laudably complicated, if emotional and a little comic-book goofy, story of how a confluence of forces - industry skepticism, trained-seal lobbyists and, last but not least, consumer reluctance - undermined the future of a quiet little bean of mobile metal that the anointed few who could afford to lease it passionately adored.

The real question is why this purportedly impassioned documentary investigation of a great subject--the culture's conspiratorial dismissal of eco-friendly alternatives to the gas-guzzler -- would assume such massive viewer disinterest that it coats the pill with C-list celebrity NutraSweet, including Martin Sheen voiceovers -- that would sound unforgivably hackneyed even on basic cable.

Best movie and truthful, unless you're too RIGHT! Take the kids, this one was made for their future.

I would have given it a 20 out of 10. It was a very well-done film with a great message. Everyone should see this movie.

Magnificent plot, finally I understood why the car companies were making such conflicting statements and actions. Great footage and involvement.

Excellent statement of what happened. Without Chris Paine and Dean Devlin this story would never have been told. Now what ever they do to us, at least the truth is out.

Go see this film and you will gain a lot of insight into why we have an energy crises and perhaps why America is having so many problems. Go see it and tell everyone you know to do so also. It is too bad this film did not get more exposure.

Now I know why General Motors was so eager to cease production and recall all of the EV 1's. Viewers get caught up in the mystery and also feel saddened at the destruction of such a beautiful car.
