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

The Spirit is, in effect, Frank Miller's directorial debut - since he co-directed Sin City with an experienced director in Rodriguez.

While visually very similar to Sin City, however, the Spirit is a much more light-hearted flick than Sin City, with a healthy dose of humour and many laugh-out-loud moments. The movie has virtually no gore, but it does contain a lot of "eye-candy" in Eva Mendez and Scarlett Johanson.

Those expecting to watch something like 300 or Sin City (or perhaps a true recreation of the original Spirit comic book) will be disappointed; the movie has been marketed as some serious-business hard boiled drama/thriller, which is not.

In reality, The Spirit is a genuinely funny, action hero movie for those looking to be entertained for an hour and a half by a PG-13 movie.
