6. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power

RottenTomatoes Score: 78% (6.5/10)

Box Office: Made for a mere $1 million, Al Gore's documentary sequel has grossed roughly $3.5 million so far. It may be a pittance compared to the original film's huge $49.8 million haul, but nobody was expecting financial fireworks from this decidedly more low-key follow up. It's fine, basically.

Verdict: While it lacks the Earth-shattering impact of Gore's original doc, Truth to Power is nevertheless an impassioned, persuasive and absolutely vital follow-up.

Gore continues to be an incredibly compelling speaker, and he smartly aims his ire squarely at President Trump, whose regressive policies regarding climate change will have an extremely damaging effect on global environmental progress.
