B+
"Hour, even with its somewhat tedious presentation, has profound ideas to share, and in this naked intent lies a disturbing, chilling tale of a tomorrow we all can avoid through action and some good old-fashioned consideration."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

4/5
"a film that wraps its message around a hurled brick."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

B+
"This global-warming documentary culls information from over 50 experts of many divergent backgrounds to succinctly verbalize the dire crisis of the Earth's ecosystem, and also provide thought-out solutions."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"Debates over policy, resources, and money are and will be shaped by campaigns, images, and celebrities. The 11th Hour understands that, and makes its case accordingly."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

B
"Felt like a college lecture more than a cinema experience, but is essential viewing."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"More concerned with emotionally manipulating the audience than breaking any new ground on the subject matter."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

B
"Even if it becomes little more than a case of preaching to the choir, it's still a pretty sound sermon."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

5/5
"Challenges us to change our consciousness and transform our lives by living lightly on the Earth in harmony with nature; offering a road map to a sustainable future, this is one of the most important documentaries of the year."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

6/10
"...feels like something we've all seen and heard before."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

2.5/5
"DiCaprio's star power probably propelled this film into release, even though Gore has stolen much of his thunder."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

2.5/4
"Its foretelling of gloom and doom almost make the entire idea of worrying about the global climate change crisis seem unnecessary, seeing as we're all apparently going to die by our own industrialized hands."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"This ain't bread-and-circuses [celeb] infotainment intended to distract us from the very real, very dangerous problems we face as a society. It's exactly the opposite, and absolutely terrifying."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2.5/4
"May be a kindred spirit to An Inconvenient Truth, but in terms of style, tone, and scope, this Leonardo DiCaprio-produced and narrated documentary on climate change is a wholly different beast."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

B-
"... a compelling and sobering lesson in the devastating effect of human industry on the planet. But a lesson nonetheless."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
