     Aerial footage of 54 countries, a depiction of how Earth's problems are all interlinked.  The activities of humanity are threatening the ecological balance of the planet, possibly to it's limits.  The first 15 minutes are of Earth's beginnings, the next hour details the progress of man on Earth.  Most of the remaining portion describes global warming and the crisis of carbon emissions.  The final few minutes are actions being taken to stem global warming.
     I did not like the soundtrack music for this film, how many collections of church music were searched to create this?  The gloom and doom is real but it makes a knot in your stomach, how can one person combat any of these dire warnings?  The aerial photography is beautiful.  It seems the actions we're taking are too little and too late to reverse our mistakes?  3* (This movie is OK)
  
118 min, Doc directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand with Glenn Close, Jacques Gamblin.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 8.4 out of 10, 0% critic 85% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
