I don't quite agree to the film's conclusion. Technology has brought us into the situation we are in today. I don't believe, it will save us. Apart from that, I don't think it is five minutes to twelve, but five minutes past. Yah, I believe, it's "game over" as far as civilization is concerned. Has been so right from the start.
Anyhow, watch the film!

I remember growing up in the '80's, hearing the saying if we don't do something now, it may be too late, we didn't do anything then and things have gotten worse. From what I've heard of global warming it is on a path that has to play out that may lead to flooding, desertification and devastating weather changes.
So I concur
The movie was pretty, though I am not sure what it was trying to accomplish? To make us feel even worse?
And as for technology, we need new solutions, not ways to keep this flawed system going.
oz: "...I am not sure what it was trying to accomplish? To make us feel even worse?" Yes. I think that's a huge part of it. Make us feel even worse, so, maybe, we'd wake up.
"...we need new solutions, not ways to keep this flawed system going." Exactly. Unfortunately, it's the latter, the film tries to sell as a solution. The usual blindness: if only we develop and employ new technologies, we can go on as if nothing ever happened. NOT.
Sometimes I think, this pseudo-awareness everywhere is maybe in some way a meaningful part of humanities suicide. - Sorry if I sound a little pessimistic...
