If a movie can make me think, cry, question, smile... it's successful in my mind. This movie accomplished all of the above. It is NOT a pro-environment movie, so don't ignore it out of fear of being bombarded with the Sierra Club mentality. There is but one line in the film that can be attached to that sentiment. It is more about the folly of our tendency to congratulate ourselves on reaching the pinnacle of the evolutionary chain, whereas in truth it points to us as more like the virus we are defined as in "The Matrix". It is a movie that makes me "want to be a better man". Anthony Hopkins is, as usual, inscrutable... saying more with a single look in his eyes than many actors do with a full script. Cuba Gooding plays off of him well, and independently gives an excellent portrayal of a man searching for... for what he finds. Well worth the rental fee. I got it to pass the time and now add it to my list of "would watch again".
