Another example of greed attacking truth. Conveys a painful message which humanity has chosen to ignore at great peril. It may not be a perfect production but it tells the truth and we are witnessing the profound effects now.

Admirable, that is, if you believe the fictitious tale that Jones was a victim instead of a perpetrator. The evidence is part of the public record. This is a throwback to the old days of Hollywood hagiography. As factual reportage,it's risible. The acting is good though.

I've read all the reviews and I am, once again, sadly amazed that something so important to mankind is being politicized. While I have a TON to say about that, I won't. Those "in the know" know exactly what I mean.
The MOVIE was a bit slow because the topic of the word Trick in science is NOT the same as it is in, oh say Politics!! And they explained what it means scientifically very well. They explained everything well.
And they showed how Dr. Jones and his family were affected by being attacked unfairly by the press and an unknowing, knowledgeable public.
They explained the who and whats that were benefiting from keeping knowledge of climate change quiet. Where "THEY" are going to go is another story that I would like to see.
So - was the story dull? NO WAY! Was it a thriller? Well, in a way - but we have no idea how it turned out yet! Give it 10 years, or less.

Very uncomfortable for climate deniers. Extremely well directed with excellent performances communicating the extreme pressures and confusion of such a situation.
The script also conveys the nature of what went on at the macro and micro levels very well. One of the very best docu-dramas ever made?

This is a docudrama so it both informs and entertain s through bringing to life the scandal. The hackers wrongfully denigrated the lifetime's work of the Unit for Climate Change. Consequently we are 10 years behind in the fight to save the planet. The acting is superb. It's a warning about what can happen to create a conspiracy theory. If in doubt, do watch it.

The Trick tries very hard to make it's subject matter compelling, to make a thriller come alive from its source material, but unfortunately fails to ever really warm up.

Think about it: When was the last time that you could truly believe a politician?
Climate change studies are deeply intertwined with politics.
The IPCC is a political organization managed by politicians with agendas.
It is an intergovernmental panel, and as we all know, governments and their policies are.subordinate to ideologies. Science is usualy brushed aside whenever it conflicts with ideology.
Climate change has become a religion. It is a dogma. It is no longer a scientific question. One either accepts it or will be doomed until kingdom come. Scientific curiosity has been suprressed by the IPCC inquisitors.
