Racing Extinction Reviews
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
This movie is scary and depressing, but it also gave me some hope.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
If a documentary can be both alarming and oddly reassuring, it's the gripping splash of cold cinematic water "Racing Extinction."
Baret News
Kam Williams
A chilling rallying cry exhorting humanity to save the planet from climate change , if it's not already too late.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It's as if we're being asked, once again, to believe that rock n' roll will really save the world.
HeraldNet (Everett, WA)
Robert Horton
As an example of image-dissemination, Racing Extinction is skillful, right down to the evocative (but nonstop) music by J. Sharp.
Madison Movie
Rob Thomas
This new wave of films wants to make environmental films that aren't just educational and enraging but poignant, exciting - and even beautiful.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
The breadth of Louie Psihoyos' environmental documentary Racing Extinction is wide -- the fate of animal species around the planet -- and the overall impact is forceful.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A special interest documentary, something for schools to show as an educational tool, is conventionally helmed as a lecture by the marine activist Louie Psihoyos.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
This documentary strikes an effective balance between alarming statistics and practical solutions.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
If you've ever wondered what a breaking heart sounds like, it's right here in the futile warble of the last male of a species of songbird, singing for a mate that will never come.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Racing Extinction tends to be far more effective when presenting its enlightened activists as heroes.
Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
The film is a captivating, sobering look at the world's endangered aquatic species, but it's also a frightening revelation of what methane and carbon are doing to the ocean.
Village Voice
Meave Gallagher
Maybe the film's website, where viewers are directed to actually learn about how to stop killing the planet, holds more answers than Racing Extinction itself.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A prophetic call for action against capitalist waste of natural resources, as well as some stunningly beautiful vistas above and below the ocean. It took six years to make the film and it shows.
