As an EV owner and former EV manufacturer employee, I saw this movie believing it would only show an enthusiast's perspective on the concept of the electric car. The truth is that this film documentary brings the question back to the basics of "What is the Electric Car?" with a brief history followed by segments of questions and decade long misconceptions being answered in a very entertaining, yet extremely fact oriented manner.
The idea in the film is simple. Electric cars are safe, reliable, convenient, economical and the benefits range far beyond an environmentalist's strong stand on petroleum issues. The U.S. economy and America's ability to lead in innovation and set a new standard of transportation are also put into perspective.
Although the film was not as dramatic as the 2006 documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" that showed the crushing of hundreds of GM's EV1s, it did however keep its premise very clear. It answered the question!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It is actually hard to describe in words the amazement of this film. In times like these is when I cherish the work of film critics who can find the more appropriate syntax to put a movie in its rightful place. The Dark Knight just simply devours your attention for 150 minutes non-stop with incredible scenes, an unarguable incredibly smart plot, first rate acting by all of its performers, and most notable... the disturbingly maniacal and psycological challenge of the Joker's persona, I dare to say this to be Ledger's twisted "opera prima". I just saw this movie last night and can say that I had a hard time getting to sleep. The story reverberated in my head... Batman's TRAGEDY of being the hero in the dark, and the grimm yet satisfying ending will have me in continuous awe for days to come.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
