I was looking forward to seeing this movie, especially after seeing GasLand in 2010 at Sundance (a must see documentary written and directed by Josh Fox and was also up for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2011).
Gus Van Sant, again, did a GREAT job. The cast was great and I can understand the writing direction Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Dave Eggers went with in the film (showing more of the corporation BS side instead of really showing more and more details in regards to the major harmful issues caused by hydraulic fracking and all the money hungry companies and lobbyist involved) but the film fell short of being powerful. You want to walk out saying "What a GREAT film" but you don't.
FYI - The BIG companies behind this unregulated huge rush of natural gas drilling (it's been going on for the last decade), specifically, horizontal drilling into shale formations aka "Fracking" are raping our planet with all the chemicals and toxic materials and we all need to be aware and demand for strict regulations (for more detailed information - see GasLand ASAP). Why is this industry allowed to hide (deny) all the problems when our public safety is at stake? More and more communities in the United States and throughout the world are being impacted. It's killing people, Mother Earth, the animals that end up in our grocery stores, and continues to destroy more and more of our underground drinking water supplies (tainted water).
Did the Big Corporations push for the "R" rating, which is total BS, so less would see? Should be "PG" at most.
Go Green with Natural Gas?....At what cost? I'll quote the movie, the best way to go GREEN is to "Go Solar."
