I just saw this last night and I thought it was funny how the climatolagist was warning the politicians that things would be bad if they didn't do something about pollution.
The politicians said that the economy was more important. Then about 2 weeks later all the climate changed stuff happened.
At the end of the film they pretty much said that we should have listened to the climatologist.
I thought: well what could they have done in a week anyway!
Not to mention that they kept talking about the same thing happening 10,000 years ago in the same sentence as they talked about pollution being the cause of it!

It was made with an agenda, released to a purpose and paid for by ideologues. That is not my definition of anything but propaganda.
To say that a film is made with an agenda (asside from maximum profits for the studio) means that it deliberately attempts to convey an idea. An ideologue is simply someone who believes strongly in something. What you seem to be saying here is that a film should only be taken seriously if it lacks purpose, conveys no ideas and is made by those who are without convictions.
The only other possiblility I can think of is that maybe you think it is fine for a film to have an idea after all. It only gets dissmissed as propaganda if you don't agree with it.

Well yeah!?! If I don't agree with it, it must be lies and propaganda. Isn't that obvious? 🙄
