From Oscar-winning director Luc Jacquet (March of the Penguins) comes a stirring portrait of French glaciologist, Claude Lorius, whose groundbreaking research in Antarctica gave us the first clear evidence of man-made global climate change. Lorius discovered his destiny as a college student when he joined an expedition to Antarctica in 1955; land essentially untouched by scientific experiment. He would go on to participate in twenty-two expeditions during his long career, facing unforgiving conditions and brutal personal challenges that were rewarded with an amazing discovery: using ice cores thousands of meters deep, tiny air bubbles suspended in the ice reveal the composition of the planet's atmosphere over nearly a million years. Through remarkable archival footage and stunning drone cinematography, "Antarctica: Ice and Sky" is an epic tale where science and adventure meet, equal parts contemplative memoir and an ardent call to action.

The film, though, is more than just climate-change evangelism.

"Antarctica: Ice and Sky," a documentary about the scientist whose research first called attention to anthropogenic climate change, ends with the sort of vague call to action that such works typically do.

The movie is both heady (there are real thrills in the stories of exploration) and sobering (Mr. Lorius’s findings are convincing). This is a cogent, accessible cinematic delineation of an increasingly crucial problem.

Here's a new variation on the despairing climate-change doc: Luc Jacquet's Antarctica: Ice and the Sky showcases a scientist who has been sounding the alarm about carbon emissions and the melting ice caps for so long that now he's well over eighty and has passed a lifetime watching the world not bother to solve the problem.

Swapping marching penguins for an octogenarian glaciologist, Luc Jacquet pays handsome tribute to Claude Lorius, whose snow chemistry analysis underpinned early climate change theories. The archive footage is compelling, but the soundtrack is a muddle of voice-over, music and effects.

The director of “March of the Penguins” sounds the alarm for global warming but also lavishes his glaciologist subject with too much gushy narration.
