Collapse (movie)

[Cru]

Has anyone seen this 2009 movie, and if so, do YOU think it's worth watching? I can read netflix reviews all day, but I'd rather hear it from people who have at least similar views to myself in various areas.

My GF and I watched it a few weeks ago. Very interesting and chilling at times. It's a one man show. This guy lays it out on the line and I think he is credible. Can't say that I agree with everything he says, but like they said in the X-files TV Shows,,,,,
"The Truth Is Out There". It's up to us to research and learn from every source we can find in order to figure out just what that "Truth" is.

I recommend seeing it. It's worth your hour and half.

Yes it is worth watching, although Michael Ruppert's credentials are not that outstanding (cop, "govt agent"). Collapse Movie

I found the movie "What a Way to Go" to be more compelling.
What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire documentary A middle class white guy comes to grips with Peak Oil, Climate Change, Mass Extinction, Population Overshoot

I'm watching this show on Planet Green, right now. I thought it was an interesting INGO topic, so I searched and found it. Hey, who would have thought the search feature worked? Anyway, it looks pretty interesting. Could be viewed during a pretty cool MSG movie night.

Have you found it for rent somewhere? I tried Blockbuster and Family Video and neither have it.

Might try Youtube. Its well worth watching. Only thing I dont agree with it,I dont beleive we have hit the peak in oil. But I have read the non energy crisis. Supposably
We hit 2 of the biggest oil reserves in Prudoe that have never had any oil pumped from. Thats a story of its own. thats something to check out too.

I just put it in my que on Netflix

You can stream it directly from Amazon for $3.99 for three days (I think) or it can be purchased as a download.

Holy crap. I just watched it last night. Sheila was very skeptical at first, but it caught her attention and we were riveted for the rest of the movie.

It makes sense the way he describes things. You just have to hope he is wrong.

I found it intriguing, however I would have preferred more sources of information. With only one guy telling the story, I would like an expert on Peak Oil, an expert on the Economy.

Watch away... very good documentary

Part 1: The website you are trying to acces is blocked
Part 2: The website you are trying to acces is blocked

(not sure why it says this movie is blocked, but it still works for me if you click on the link. If it doesn't, go to Google and type in Collapse in the search field, then go up to videos... you will find both parts in there)

Just watched it.Wow. I sure hope that 100th monkey is getting on with it.
I think I am around monkey 70 lol.

I just finished Collapse and it sure makes me think about the areas in my preparedness that needs attention.

Also, how will a collapse play out? How can I best prepare my kids to carry on and succeed in life no matter what life may be like in their future? If a collapse hits bottom in as little as 20 years I will be in my mid 60’s and my kids will be in their mid 20’s. (ya, I got a late start with having a family) I think about how much I learned between my mid 20’s and mid 40’s and I may not alive or able to teach them in 20 years. There is so much I need to teach them now. They may well be part of the first generation that has to adapt to such a harsh life.

I am going to bump this in the hope the 100th monkey sees it.

Red Dawn always thought it was a great movie
