Gore's movie gets raves in Berlin, yawns in Bangkok

U.S. critics swooned over "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary film about global warming starring ex-Vice President Al Gore, but international response has ranged from raves in Oslo to yawns in Bangkok.

"It carries a strong message and hard fact with Al Gore as the presenter but it is a boring documentary presentation that could have been made more fun and exciting with some editing techniques," Bangkok film critic Natakwang Sirasoonthorn said.

In eco-friendly Germany, where Gore attended last week's Berlin premiere, the film was a multi-media event, covered by major newspapers and several television news shows. It drew specific praise from German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel at a news conference on energy.

"An Inconvenient Truth" has grossed more than $23.7 million in the United States since it opened in May, distributed by Paramount Pictures. That makes it the third-highest grossing documentary, behind No. 1 "Fahrenheit 9/11" and second-ranked "March of the Penguins" -- both of which have been running far longer.

I wonder if the military government is on the side of the stay the course industries on this issue?
