Good movie but grossly overrated

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I've watched hundreds of documentaries and this has to be the most blatant example of an attack-docu. Let's be honest about the topic, 99.9999% of people don't know anything about this but it seems that a lot of people in this movie and it's counterpart are able to speak on the topic in great depth. Bringing Russia into this documentary as a main topic is pretty weak in general, almost desperate!This movie is so bad it's worth watching. I don't give a frack about either side of the debate but this movie makes me want to be anti- fracking. Frack this piece of fracking ****.

Do you think environmentalists are peaceful, earth-loving guys trying to create a better place to live? Well, you're dead-wrong, and this guy proves it! To anyone who says he was paid off by oil companies, he wasn't, that's silly and he would have been caught by now if this were a true fact. These reviews are coming from the environmentalists who are too scared to face the truth. And like this guy has had, gun threats, questioning environmentalists, I've had it happen, too. I litter on purpose and spray chemicals on my lawn and toss dead batteries in the woods. When an environmentalist catches me, do they work out a peaceful compromise? No, they threaten, bring up that they're planning supposed murder and then lecture as if they're geniuses! Why is this? Because they're scared to admit that there's a possibility they could be wrong. And I'm not the only one out there who loves pollution and hates the environment, there are other people like me. This guy isn't an earth-hater like I am, he just wanted the truth and questioned a boatload of know-it-alls who turn out to maybe not know what they think they know. It was unbiased and factual and I'm pretty disgusted to see so many reviewers who are so narrow-minded to not even give this great documentary a chance. Watch it, you might learn something.

It was nice to hear the other side of the story. I'm sick of the 1% (actors and rich politicians) manipulating our information to fit their agendas. There are too many groups in our country who wish to censor opposition rather than have a calm debate over the facts. Why wouldn't you welcome investigations by multiple source to prove your point? America needs more debate and information free of censorship. This documentary was well produced. It really showed how we in America can be managed by a biased media. Actors who are either uninformed or have their own agenda push questionable information. We need to question the information put before us rather than viciously supporting it and tearing down opposition. This film does exactly what we all need to do. When presented with information first ask if it's true. Seek out other sources that support or disprove the information. To be clear, I'm not saying I believe this documentary 100%. Only that it's nice to hear another point of view.

This movie (I cannot refer to it as a documentary, as it has been carefully scripted) appears to be the gas industry's response to Gasland. The entire movie is a bunch of people with a vested interest in hydraulic fracturing being interviewed. An utter farce.The industry has either paid jobbers to write glowing 10/10 reviews or made their own staff construct the reviews to try and give a false rating. Who in their right mind goes and gives a documentary 10/10, no room for improvement? They are clearly paid to write these bogus reviews.I am sure this review in itself will be given poor ratings as well, just like the other negative review of the film on IMDb.
