Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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)

SnoopyStyle Director Chris Paine of 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' follows up with this documentary about 4 electric car programs starting from 2007. Bob Lutz from GM was anti-EV until he had a complete 180 switch and started pushing for the Volt. Entrapeneur Elon Musk is driving California upstart Tesla Motors. Carlos Ghosn is the hard-driving CEO of Nissan Renault developing the Leaf for the mass market. Gadget Abbott is doing small scale electric conversions of gasoline cars. The film follows the four separate approaches as they face ups-and-downs.I don't like the title. It's too strident. It would be better as 'Return of the Electric Car'. It's kind of violent and it automatically lays claim that EVs are going to win over gasoline. Return would be less forceful and more correct. I also wonder why the movie limits to just those four cases. It could make passing references to other cars like the Prius especially since it mentions Toyota. It feels selective. Gadget Abbott's addition seems meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Did he even sell one car? It's a rather unimpressive documentary until the financial crisis hits. Then there are some drama with Elon Musk and GM. That part is interesting and gives something good to this selective doc. It doesn't have the same intensity as the first one which was a great diatribe against a good villain. This is more like an in-depth TV report on PBS.

gvseostud Many reviewers seem to miss the point of this documentary, which is to document the varied approach businesses are taking to react to the new technology of the electric car. The comparisons captured between the Nissan approach versus the GM approach versus the Tesla approach are very revealing of the strengths and shortcomings of these different companies. Even Netflix gets it wrong when they categorize this movie as a Political documentary, when it is actually a Business documentary.This movie is an instant classic for business school audiences in particular, and yet is still entertaining and engaging enough for very general audiences. Without spoiling, one scene that is particularly revealing is when two competitor's see a third's production product at an auto show, and seem unable or unwilling to understand the threat to their respective businesses.Stunning access to a thrilling competition for a new technology in which the stakes could not be higher. Every MBA class in the world should see this movie as a precondition to graduate. 9 stars plus.

martin tuky The movie is shallow in the look at the issues with the automotive industry today. They mistake the change in the consumer trends for something that is a real way forward.AS long as we don't have batteries, EV is useless. As long as electricity is produced from oil and gas, EV is useless.The cheerful mood for the idea through the movie is definitely nice. The underdog of Tesla "showing it to the big guys" is very nicely done. (but not true...) The thing I LOVE about this movie, is that it focuses on the technology under the dash - not the useless flashy touch this or that.It is a good thing that this movie exists, but it less of a true unbiased documentary than a popular mechanics view of US efforts to catch up.The one thing is that I'd like to see US manufacturers to focus on other ideas as well. (since only part of the EV cars is actually useful for the next 50 years) Rest of the world is not showing up with old technology and lost of smiles, they actually, quietly do something.
