Preview: Fuel (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

If it's a documentary about some global issue, there must be a planet somehow inflicted on the poster. The first few examples this year were clever, but they have become progressively weaker and this one is certainly no exception.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

While the idea is quite powerful, the scenes and details provided by the trailer are rather rudimentary and inexpressive. Hopefully, the actual film will be much better than this preview suggests.

Oscar Prospects:

It's possible the film could end up on the Oscar shortlist, but I'm doubtful it will be the 2008 list.

Release Date:

• November 14, 2008
