Oil Storm
 
Did anyone watch it, on FX?

I caught a few minutes of it, and it was interesting.

For those of you who don't know what it is, it deals with a situation where we have a massive oil shortage, and how it would change our lives forever. Rioting, war, etc.

For those of you that did see it, what were your thoughts?

I had trouble belieing the events that occured, it seemed like they just picked out random events that would dwindle our oil supply and then shoved them together.

I missed the first half hour or so, but I do not believe I missed much. It was an interesting movie, hopefully something that does not need to be lived through. I would say do not take it too seriously, but know that it could happen.

I saw the full movie, and I liked it very much. The way it was put together was really good, I think they got a pretty good capture of the feeling presented in a documentary.

I saw part of it. I thought it was good, but parts of it didn't seem that realistic, and there were things that I felt that they didn't touch enough on that would have made it more believable. No specific issue, just the way the material was presented.

Anyone know if it's going to re-air? I saw a bunch of commercials for it, and it looked interesting, but I missed it.

I has been on quite a few times and I'm sure it's going to repeat several more over the next month.


I saw it and it looked like something that Michael Moore would create.

It's a real scenario. If we continue on our current course, production of oil will not be able to match the demand.

IE: It won't take an act of god or natural disaster like they've shown. it will happen on it's own.

If anything, it was probably toned down for TV.
