If this thing is just a public service announcement about air pollution masquerading as a movie then I'm probably gonna take your advice.

I especially appreciate how the US is the worst, with the French coming in second. Really really insightful commentary.

For those of us that don't watch his movies would you care to elaborate on the cause of the "attacks"?

LMFAO....GTO summed it up  mostly....when the basic premise is typed out you realize how really ridicolous it is.

Then they should have cut down all the trees and replaced them with plastic ones....what a dumb arse premise for a movie.

That's lame, but the first thing that came to mind, (after vowing to not watch this movie of course), was the following "Deep Thought".

Not if you are a tree hugger.  Then it's better than Citizen Kane.
