How Have We Affected the Planet?  That's what this film asks and shows us, according to the previews and reviews. Leonardo DiCaprio produced and narrates the film, which features more than 50 leading scientists and leaders -- including former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, renowned scientist Stephen Hawking and former CIA Director James Woolsey -- discussing the important issues facing our planet, including global warming. The movie opens nationwide today. (Get showtimes and info for 'The 11th Hour')

DiCaprio is a committed environmentalist and even has his own Eco-Site.

The new movie's reviews have been mixed, but the New York Times and L.A. Times both liked it, according to AOL's rating page for 'The 11th Hour' here.

I admire movie stars who make these kinds of films. It shows that they care about something beyond the fame and fortune their careers bring them.

I might go see the film this weekend; if you check it out, post your comments here.
