Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Vic Venom Filmed for television as a cautionary tale about the impending global warming disaster, "The Fire Next Time" is a disaster unto itself. If anything, this two-part 1993 groaner is testament to how consistently unoriginal and glaringly inaccurate the environmentalist party line has remained over the past 15+ years.In "The Fire Next Time," the writers do their best to throw everything they have against the wall, hoping that something will stick. The movie employs disaster flick favorites ranging from drought and famine to social discord and disease in painting a picture of overall chaos in the America of 2017. As we've learned from Nostradamus, broad ambiguity is the key to a good false prophecy.Lest the aforementioned examples prove overly sensationalistic, a can't-miss disaster is brought in for support: the hurricane. There is no safer bet than hurricanes in the southeastern U.S., and if this American standard can now be ascribed to global warming, all the better.If only global warming could be linked to earthquakes and the impending "big one" in Los Angeles. Now that would be an "I told you so!" The left-wing fantasy is completed at the end of the film, when Americans are found scrambling for entry into Canada. In reality, 1993 was the year of the big push for universal healthcare in America, with the "Canadian model" being cited as the last, best hope for Americans. Canada was hip, Canada was the "in" thing, and it was only natural that Canada be given further hype as the salvation for climate-oppressed Americans 25 years into the future.Today, we find the global warming community in much the same situation as Health Canada: large, powerful, and staving off collapse as it becomes more and more apparent that their assumptions have constructed a false reality upon an untenable foundation.With just 15 years of hindsight, it is now stunningly clear that "The Fire Next Time" has gone up in smoke.

Raegan Butcher When this was first televised as a two part mini-series I watched the first night and opted out for the 2nd. Now, after renting it from Portland's finest (and the country's finest, if truth be told) video store MOVIE MADNESS and watching the entire four hours I can safely say that buried inside the 240 minute mammoth of overcooked plotting and sweaty melodramatics is a fine 90 minute movie.Craig T Nelson is a hell of a good actor and that's the trouble: he plays a completely unlikable character to irritatingly well effect. There is no one to root for: Nelson's character is a selfish pig from the get-go and he never gets much smarter or nicer. I realize that its not his fault--the script makes everyone a symbol and he has to stand for The Guilty Short-Sighted Consumer of All The World's Goodies....other actors are saddled with equally heavy burdens to carry.Which leads me to another major drawback : the uneven tone of the script.We get semi-interesting first night scenes between the extremely underrated Charles Haid and Craig T. Nelson alongside some real second night howlers like the absurd scene with Lousie Fletcher-- who chirps to Bonnie Bedelia ( who I must say looks wonderful with her ample bosom on sweaty display) "In the morning you will be issued your regulation camouflage army fatigues; its our way of keeping our message of hope alive." I am not kidding, she actually says that--and she is supposed to be the representative of the Evil Pro-Earth whatever the hell you want to call them. Ludicrous. As is most of the rest of this thing. But there are some interesting notions. Not ALL worthless but you have to wade thru a lot of dumb stuff.

hdknight I'm watching this during one of the 5 coldest winters in recorded North American history in the Northeast US and maritime regions of Canada and I am amazed at how absolutely wrong this movie is in every regard. History will prove that this movie was based on hysterical false assumptions and pseudoscience. If you want to watch a group of mediocre actors have water blown on them , feel free to enjoy but don't make the mistake of believing that anything in this movie is remotely accurate.

seldom-ever I too was in this movie as an extra. What a was of air time to show this mess. It was poorly written, directed, and edited. It was fun to work on the movie, made a lot of friends. I was embarrassed to have my other friends watch this show
