Preview: Earth Days (2009)

Synopsis:

• Poster: C+

Review:

There was no poster immediately available for my review. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated.

Slogans have been a part of the protest culture for decades and it seems moderately appropriate to mold the earth out of them. The small sapling at the top of the globe is a bit too much and the glow behind the "planet" is certainly too much.

• Trailer: A

Review:

You can't get more interesting than this. A perfect trailer for a documentary, using archival footage combined with a look at present-day movements and a historical perspective while leaving plenty to explore in the body of the film.

Oscar Prospects:

If this one gets in under the wire and makes the shortlist, I could very much see it on the final ballot as Best Documentary Feature and it could even go all the way to an Oscar.

Release Date:
