This could have been so much better had they left politics out of it.

A. Perkowski | nyc, ny United States | 09/20/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great film, pure and simple. And it is a great film because of its purity and its simplicity. Director Turk Pipkin relentlessly travels the globe to find answers to the very difficult questions regarding man's survival here on earth. In his travels he interviews nine Nobel Prize winners, some with complex answers to Pipkin's question, and others with a very simple view on our reality. The interviews are quite riveting, combines with superior cinematogrophy, and editing make this film a must see. And will get the viewer asking, "What can I do?""
An Extremely Moving Film

"Director Turk Pipkin realizes there are many problems with the world. To find the solutions to those problems, he does not go to politicians or corporations. He instead tries something new, and asks some smart people: Nobel Laureates. He travels the world, and finds surprisingly simple solutions to some of the worlds greatest troubles. After seeing how easy it is to do something that could be so great, you will feel compelled to act."
Even better the Al Gore's movie!

"Frankly, I thought "Nobelity" might be a bit boring, when I first heard about it. But, no, it's an absolutely fascinating title that offers answers to some of the world's pressing problems from a number of Nobel prize winners (and who is better qualified!). I wish they had taken on the world's biggest problem, tobacco, a drug which kills 5,000,000 users and hundreds of thousands more innocent people (that breathed toxic tobacco smoke) around the world every year, but maybe they can do that in the next edition."
