Coproducer Leonardo DiCaprio’s intense sincerity serves him well as on- and off-screen narrator of this sprawling, frequently distressing documentary about the various ways mankind is despoiling our planet. In addition to footage of melting icecaps, widespread deforestation, overflowing landfills, etc., the directors include cogent testimony by disparate experts and activists, from Stephen Hawking to Mikhail Gorbachev, who suggest specific steps that can be taken to keep Earth inhabitable.
