If the Brits actually were the heroes, and if the Chinese actually were likely to have a change of heart, if it actually presented the changes of lifestyle people will have to go through to make any difference. I don't mean to be so cynical. Maybe this can make a difference. I think people of all political persuasions will be laughing their socks off. I did. Really really annoying.

I finally watched the 2nd part and I'm pleased to say that I actually enjoyed it. I'm sure that it will eventually air in the U.S. and other parts, as it is a BBC U.K. + Canadian production, so I won't give away any of the plot... but I found that the info given and the portrayal of the supposed "inner workings" of big oil vs gov't policy making [ie: Kyoto 2 Conference was the main focus], was all very fascinating. Part 1 had a focus on unexpected twists in the action-filled plot, whereas part 2 had more to offer politically and educationally and seemed more realistic to me overall. I'm glad I stuck with it and watched the finale. Looking forward to seeing more productions in this new "eco-thriller" genre. I’m back!

Which shows you how much of an impression the first part made on me. I wasn't exactly thrilled with it, but there were some interesting scenes and points made. Overall, I was just happy to see the new film genre of "eco-thriller" attached to it and hope to seem more in the future. I also generally enjoy BBC productions so I knew that they would jam pack it with eco-stats -- and they did. Let's see how I feel after watching the ending... which I'll get around to. Eventually.
