SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

AHOLDER-1 Sound: Well mixed, utilizes a new agey techno sound track, decent sound effects. Noting really special here. 70/100 Technical: Competently shot, nice special effects, Lots of slow motion. Again nothing special here. 70/100 Character/Acting: For the dramatic parts there is not much of a reach for the actors and again nothing really bad either. They are just used for demonstration purposes only. 70/100 Narrative: A documentary format that uses interviews with "scientists" and exemplifies thier arguments with a dramatic companion story; very much like the health and science films we would see in school but with better production values. The arguments presented are not proven at all, they lack clarity and direction. No opposing point of view is shown. The companion dramatic story is really not needed because it does not help prove the arguments presented. 30/100 Did I enjoy it: Not really, though visually slick with some humor; the ideas presented are weak pseudoscience, are not qualified by the scientific method, ignore Aristotelian truths, and ignore sound theological truths. Ergo "cogito ergo sum" being the truth of reality then this film does not really exist. 40/100 Artistic Merit: None, other than some fair production skills. 40/100 Total score 53/100

samandor-15781 I don't want to review this flick, but am doing so out of a sense of duty. You will learn absolutely nothing by watching it. You will be misled about how math and science works. I don't think there is a single true, useful fact in the entire film. If Ayn Rand took LSD instead of amphetamines, and had a camera instead of a typewriter, she might have produced this instead of "Atlas Shrugged." It belongs in the dustbin of ideas promulgated by and for those who want to believe, rather than think or learn. Wanting badly enough to believe something, does not make it true.

theomere It's a bunch of nonsense. It's been a while since I watched it however I'm pretty sure they don't actually get anything right. Watch this as fiction. If you do that, you might enjoy it to a degree. Suspend your disbelief for the amount of time it runs for then amuse yourself by looking up all the claims they muddled up or fabricated. There's some clever presentation at times and it's a shame it is wasted on people who want to convert you to their way of thinking, their way of looking at facts, their way of defining reality.I'm all for people believing what they want, don't get me wrong. However, this feels like propaganda. Always look at all the available explanations and then make your choices. Don't be drawn in by a flashy show.I was 16 when I watched this and was unfortunately doing Class A drugs heavily and regularly. I think this 'documentary' had a lot to do with pushing the psychosis that was building into a Messiah complex. Although I definitely got something out of it, what I got was my own. My later debunking of this dribble didn't change that so I just give this the dubious honour of being a catalyst to my own science-based ideas and the philosophical ideas which haven't been answered yet. Be careful with it.

acbader I don't have much in-depth knowledge of quantum physics, but with a very good high school physics, I had enough prior understanding to realize that this movie is not, in fact, a crash course in quantum physics, biology, psychology or neuroscience. It seemed to me more of a call to realize that we live with many assumptions that may or may not have any basis whatsoever, and that it is completely within our power to break away from these assumptions, from which we create our daily tendencies. I don't think that the movie ever makes the claim that a basketball can actually be in two places at once, or that we can shape water with our minds. The point is that we are in a universe that is growing larger and more confounding with every discovery that we make, and often times we hide within our own addictive tendencies and make the decision not to move forward. It is indeed incredible that we are all made up of the same stuff as the universe around us, but we alone have the gift of observation, thought and decision-making. We, as individuals, and as a race could make better use of this power to be our own God, to define our world as modern science makes both matter and our mind more pliable. Call out whatever facts or inconsistencies you want, that isn't the message that I am choosing to take from this movie. It was thought-provoking and empowering, even though the creators may not have made some of the best decisions with analogies or special effects.
