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?

Re: Oil Storm
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.

Re: Oil Storm
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.

Re: Oil Storm
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.

Re: Oil Storm
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.

Re: Oil Storm
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.
