This could be the film that launches the best new actor in Hollywood – Al Gore.  As our guide in this documentary on the issue of global warming, he is frank and at times even humorous.  He states his case clearly and even the obvious directorial decisions regarding the inclusion of details about his sister’s death or his child’s accident which come across as being rather cursi fail to sink him.  Yes, this is an important movie and it is interesting to see someone use the industry to promote an idea that would normally be rejected by big business.  The content is very important, the style and format might be rather questionable but An Incomvenient Truth is an event which shows once again how vital it can be to harness the power of the cinema to get a message across.  It is not a great film in terms of cinema – more of your powerpoint stuff like Fuerza Aerea but it is watchable and serves the purpose it was made for.
