adonis98-743-186503 Director Chris Paine takes his film crew behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors to chronicle the story of the global resurgence of electric cars. Revenge of the Electric Car is a 2011 Documentary Sequel to the 2006 Who Killed the Electric Car? The film was directed by Chris Paine and goes with full details inside this "war" sort of speak between some big Car Companies such as GM, Nissan and Tesla and they all try to bring back the Electric Car from the "Dead". Celebrities also appear and talk about their experience with the Electric Car such as Danny DeVito (Twins), Jon Favreau the Director of Iron Man (2008) and Ex-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger plus Ex-President Barack Obama the film is also narrated by Actor Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption). It's not a perfect film/documentary it might drag sometimes but it's an enjoyable movie and although i'm not that much into stuff like this? I highly enjoyed it. (7.2/10)

Ersbel Oraph There is no reason in this piece of film. Only hysterics. More than an hour of emotion to feed the people who want to be angry at something.There was an electric car. It is gone. The audience gets to see the crushed car bodies nicely done from the air. How was that car? There is no technical description. No parameters. Just the feeling of an actor. Sure, as a rich actor he probably droves lots of cars, but the comparison was probably left on the editing floor.And that miracle car was literally crushed. Why? No answer. The gesture is so dramatic and so illogical and the speakers talk about the before and after, never why.As for specialists? A politician who does not like the air he breathes so he builds a career in that place. Reliable. Was he one of the paper pushers who helped kill that electric car? Who cares! He is on "our side" so he must be a "good guy". Other technical people: an actor, one so busy you can see him taking time to become an engineer. And a columnist. He is an English major probably, but he heard a lot of hearsay back in the day when he was doing filed work instead of just reading the blogs as today.So watch it, if you need to fuel your confirmation bias.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

gg-uninstall I wanted to see this documentary because I consider electric engines to be the future of the automotive industry, judging by the data that we now have. I have not seen the apparent prequel to this documentary, "Who killed the electric car?".I regularly refer to IMDb as an indication of whether I may like a movie or not, and was not expecting much from a movie with a 5.8 score. As soon as the movie started, I was surprised that it looked like a well-made, high production value documentary with substance and actual behind-the-scenes footage of the industry. It has many interviews with Elon Musk and Bob Lutz from GM made for the film and covers the subject matter from multiple approaches.It is a very enjoyable and informative documentary that actually made me feel good about the future.4/5

gparob Bottom line- if you liked "Who Killed the Electric Car", you'll like "Revenge of the Electric Car". Where "Who" pointed fingers at people, government, and industry, "Revenge" tells the story of those working hard to bring about a renaissance of the Electric Car. This makes for a different tone in the movie, but the subject matter will seem familiar. Rather than tell the whole story, the movie focuses on representatives. Featured are a couple of large car companies, one making a battery electric, one making a extended range battery electric, a small car company battling amazing odds, and a small shop owner living his dream- converting gas engined cars with the highest possible quality, using carefully selected parts to try to out-do the major car companies. How do you out-do a major car company? Well, that's up to you, isn't it? It could be style, it could be uniqueness, it could be cost. In the case of the EV it could be range or charging time, top speed or durability. Sit back and relax, and drink it all in, as the story unfolds before you. This documentary is easily one of the finest I've seen in a long time. Thanks to the team for making the movie, and a particular thanks to the person who did the opening credits.
