Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
xdmoritz The film discusses the urgency to take action against climate change because the effects of it will be devastating. Every person is responsible for their carbon footprint and can reduce it for example by eating less beef. I liked the documentation because it opened my eyes and taught me about climate change. However, I would have liked for DiCaprio to discuss the aspect of nuclear power.
kanebarner The movie shows us the consequences of the global warming, and what we are going to do to solve this problem.I think Sunita Narain made an impression on me when she said: "I'm sorry to say this, and I know you're American, so please don't take this the wrong way, but your consumption is really going to put a hole in the planet." She has very clear ideas about what we need, for example when she said what 1 American consumes at home is equivalent to 61 citizens of Nigeria, she knows about what we need and what we must to do to solve this problem. Also she wants to inform us about what is happening in the world.I liked it, because for me it is important to be informed about what is going on in the world and now I know what I can do to make the world better. I also learned important things, like there is no support from the Unites States government against global warming and that the islands could disappear as a product of the increase in water levels. My rating is 8/10.
majose_pv Before the Flood is a sincere and objective documentary that gives us a brief but strong look at our past mistakes and how they are coming back to haunt us. Through the documentary you will see world leaders talk and try to take action and raise awareness about this problem, that is happening in our own backyards. Seeing such a variation of powerful people giving their own prespectives gives the documentary credibility. The documentary itself is a piece of art. Every person involved had their own struggles, their own point of view, and their goal. One goal that grabbed my attention was Dr. Piers, he has stage 4 cancer and he's willling to do anything in his power to make an improvement, He has faith in all of us, that we can change and make a difference, step by step. He demonstrated that we can't be negative or scared about our future. The best part was Leo's ability to travel and explore different parts of the world trying to understand every situation's need. It was just amazing. The drive he has is just mezmerizing. If you have any type of questions about global warming or how to help the environment, this documentary will give you the facts, and different ways of how you could help right now.
rafigijon Before the Flood is a documentary that makes you think about how your actions affect climate change. And it has different forms of leaders giving their opinion on the subject.The best part of the film was Sunita Narain. She is an Indian environmentalist who had a one on one conversation with Leonardo DiCaprio. I loved her because during the whole interview she was very clear about what she wanted and was very realistic.She didn't believe the speech Leo was giving her and asked exactly who was going to do all those things that he was promising and hoping for. She kept asking until she found what she was looking for. And I loved that she was speaking from the point of view of a country who didn't have the resources to change to change to a more clean type of energy. I love the movie, it was eye opening. I never read anything profound about climate change - it was always a fast read. This documentary left me thinking about what I can do to help our planet. I think everyone should watch it so they can see and realize how we are killing the earth, our home. Because of this film i'm going to try to change my lifestyle to be less harmful to our planet. I hope this movie inspires everyone as it has me. So we can all accept our reality and try to change it, to improve it.
