How so? To me it was based for a hollywood film, although it falls short of any meaningful systemic critique, or highlights any of the devastating human costs of climate change in a realistic, respectful way, at least it acknowledged there was a problem and the billionaire elite are part of it.
not OP, but I definitely got something real out of it. I've been working in academic/outreach STEM world on climate change shit for like over a decade. just full bore, staring down the barrel at the anticipated drivers/impacts.
in a lot of ways, Leo and JLaw gave life to emotions and voices in my head arguing for supremacy. lol especially JLaw. her 100% losing her shit was cathartic for me.
I know movies are about more than that for critique, but for raw artistic expression and emotional resonance... they got me.
to be clear I'm not a doomer, but sometimes I want to freak out on people like an animal.

Yeah when you looked into climate change after 1995 you had this view of "Fuck, the data is so overly clear, it is not any lack of information that is the problem".
Might just be that it didn't land for me, obviously the subject matter is important but it seemed too corny or on-the-nose IMO.
I just hated the editing.
Anything that wants to satirize billionaire tech moguls while simultaneously repeating every stupid advertising promise of "AI so powerful it can accurately predict your death", or "no worries, we'll just pop in the secret rich-person starship" is doing a pretty awful job at satire.
You're exactly right. I didn't expect anything else though. The editing was just surprisingly bad (and was nominated for best? wtf?) lol.
To me, doing that in the face of what you mentioned is what made it meaningless. Like I saw quite a few Twitter leftists trying to project their own radicalism on to it, but all the libs that watched it were just yass queening it for calling out republican hypocrisy while missing the hopelessness of trying to work within the system. And then, on top of all that, Leo was pushing some :vote: stuff in the interviews he was doing for it.
