About

If you want a motivating, fact-filled environmental wake-up call with emotional weight, this fits, especially if you liked The Social Dilemma; Not for you if you prefer light viewing or avoid sad, urgent climate stories.

Pros: eye-opening and informative; striking underwater footage; urgent wake-up call | Cons: slow start for some; heavy and emotional tone; some tech-focus detours
