The upswing of 1s and 10s is fairly normal on IMDB, but the extreme nature of it on that movie is what makes it of interest. Still, you can kind of see through the extremes on IMDB. Look for the normal distribution buried between the extremes. Looks like the movie is probably an 8.
I haven't seen it yet. Are they donating any the proceeds to worthy causes? I'm not a big fan of paying to see someone's polarized message, even if they are right. But if they are donating to worthy causes, I might go see it. If not, I'll wait until I can watch it for reduced cost or free.
And yes, it's a shame this is a polarized message. The fossil fuel industry and those invested in it have done a good job of polarizing the issue. Of course, those concerned about climate change are right. The only question is whether they can somehow be successful in making the necessary changes, leaving the skeptics forever skeptical, or if mother nature will have to prove them right the hard way at the expense of the prosperity and future of all life on Earth.
There are some things environmentalists sometimes advocate for that I don't necessarily agree with, and most Republicans certainly wouldn't either. Stuff that seems to go too far, at least in the now. Those who say we need to shrink the population, live in smaller densely populated spaces, ride bicycles everywhere, ban straws, recycle cow poo, those kinds of things. Conservative arguments should be focused on saying -- lets hold off on the more extreme stuff for now, and focus on switching everything we can to clean energy at a reasonable but prudent pace, and recycling our trash as much as we can; if that's not enough, we can look at going further. Too often though, they just deny climate change science altogether which makes them look like crazy hacks who want to destroy the planet.
