The movie Revolution by Rob Stewart was a very academic film. It used a very academic approach to conveying a global message about the environment. To me, it was the conceptualization that captured the essence of the film. The conceptualization was about how the individuals within the upper layers of the hierarchy make decisions about how the lower levels of the hierarchy should live. Rob Stewart seemed to be trying to advocate for social injustices being done to the poor and at the same time, he was conveying a message about how corporations were constantly moving ahead with their plans while destroying parts of the environment. In 2013, this film-theme is one of pure universalism - for example - the idea that corporations are entities and at times they are not always doing what is right for human-beings.
In a way Rob Stewart was like Michael Moore - trying hard for society to change. However I found the message of the movie to have been delivered in a very conventional way - and I found that how the message was conveyed to have been so academic - that it just fell flat.
Furthermore, the topic about the environment is such a futuristic topic - as how does one really know what the future will look like? There are currently so many natural disasters in the world today - how does one know if human beings are destroying the planet - or if the planet is destroying herself - in the way of a natural selection.
I much preferred his previous movie about sharks.
