Oliver Stone makes some compelling arguments, while refraining from flashy film making and overly high production values. He doesn’t hold back on his advocacy of nuclear power as the only plausible way of getting humanity through the current crisis, and while he’d probably love to see solar and wind being the answer, he’s fairly clear that it’s never going to be. Others have written that it’s not the most entertaining documentary ever made, but I beg to differ: the density of content more than compensated for slightly unsophisticated graphics and a clunky, hand-held filming style. Definitely worth a watch.

It got me. A emotional ride of a story, and not a weak performance in it. Makes you care deeply about every one of these flawed characters. Loved it.

Interesting story marred by clunky, predictable script. And the repeat of the line “eyes to me” by three different characters defied any credibility. Donald Sutherland, Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman dialled in a performance as required but failed to shine. Good-ish ending though.
