{movie} an inconvenient truth (2006)

Director-producer Davis Guggenheim (HBO's "Deadwood") captures former Vice President Al Gore in the midst of waging a passionate campaign -- not for the White House, but for the environment. Laying out the facts of global warming without getting political, Gore makes a sobering impression on the audiences who hear his message, urging them to act "boldly, quickly and wisely" … before it's too late to act at all.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** This movie was kind of like Gore's personality: nice, informative, and well-intentioned, but overall boring in presentation and delivery. The first 30 minutes of statistics bored me until we got into the good stuff: the impact on the world. As much as I respect and admire him as a person, as a professor, I'm afraid I'd fall asleep in a class with him as orator.
