View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreThis "documentary", is for 3 types of people: 1. Those that believe the moon landings were fake, that 9/11 was perpetrated by the Jews, that slavery was good, that the Earth is flat, etc. 2. Those that like to make fun of group number 1. And 3. Actual scientists who wish to know how depressing our education system (especially math and science) is in the U.S. I'm sorry if my review spoiled your viewing. Many climate change deniers like to support their beliefs by saying that climate change is only a theory. The third group above will probably most appreciate this next statement, but here goes. Too often, people seem to confuse theory with hypothesis. Gravity is a theory. Relativity is a theory. Global warming is a theory. Most (if not all) of the evidence supports it. Hypotheses, on the other hand, are that global warming is cyclical and due to solar flares and that autism is caused by vaccinations. Little or no evidence supports these hypotheses yet. Phil Valentine jokes that this "doc" was not funded by the oil industry, but then fails to mention that he is associated with the Tea Party and the Koch brothers. Again, I apologize if these spoilers ruined your viewing experience.
View MoreI saw the movie opening night in Nashville and loved it.Let me say up front that I do believe in global warming, and do believe man has a part to play in it. I do not however believe everything I hear or read and I actively search out new sources and opinions on research and data interpretation.Mr. Valentine, through this movie, is not so much trying to disprove global warming as much as he is asking viewers to be skeptical and ask questions. And he asks some VERY good questions. To say he oversimplifies his criticism of the establishment would be a disservice to those who may not be familiar with his viewpoint, and by ignoring it you yourself prove your unwillingness to learn.It's more than a documentary about bad science, it's politics and social engineering as well.... Interviews with students at Vanderbilt Univ. show how even the best and brightest have drank the kool-aid without really thinking about it.Valentine effectively asks us to reexamine what we commonly accept as base fact, and causes us to question what the messenger is trying to hide. Ignoring one while accepting another, without fair consideration of both, is a trap.Thanks Phil, you done good.
View MoreUsing truth and common sense so often lacking in today's discourse, "Ole' Uncle Phil", elevates the actual climate scientists and their findings, to a level completely superior to that of the faux-scientists and their "scientific consensus", used by Al Gore and his minions.Our society needs a wide release of this film.Someone once said,"Follow the money". Certainly, many truths have been uncovered by doing just that. "An Inconsistent Truth" represents both the latest, and likely the most overdue example of this maxim. This expose' of the spectacular hypocrisy Gore and others steep themselves in, may make many wonder: "Where has our "watchdog media" has been on this issue?(And others...)" These guys have made journalism look so easy, you'd think more journalists would do it! This is a very enlightening film I hope to see many more times before I'm through. It's quite an accomplishment for Mr. Valentine to self-finance this documentary, and actually produce it. Can I get a DVD or Blu-ray?
View MoreTWO THUMBS UP!!!For years we've heard only one side of the global warming hype and dealt with the consequences.Phil and crew do an excellent job of getting together with leading climatologists, laying out facts, and interspersing some of his fabulous humor throughout. It's a sensible documentary that debunks the global warming hype and had the audience applauding several times throughout the movie.Whether you're a global warming believer or a skeptic, this movie is a "must see". I haven't seen a movie in a theater since '99, but this was a movie I couldn't wait to see. It was WELL worth the money . . . . . AND worth the 80-mile drive to get to the theater!
