KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Diagonaldi Very well executed

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Steve Some of the concepts take several viewings to fully grasp, and in some cases due to the film maker approaching them poorly or without the correct context.Great food for though movie to get you thinking.It could change your world view, if you are open to it.

giglbox This isn't really science at all. It is humorous that a PhD can give a person so much power...when supported by the right people. The biggest problem is...wait for it...GOD! This is philosophy and personal opinion dressed in scientists clothing (so to speak). The fact that someone can make an argument and then destroy it so easily by adding God to the equation should arouse suspicion in even the undergraduate mind. Just because someone uses the word "quantum" doesn't mean they know the be all end all (if there is such a thing and assuming humans could ever comprehend such), no matter how many textbooks, or how many supporters there are of the idea (which I would suggest to all to look up such supporters and the real arguments at hand). Maybe there is something to be said for spirituality in science, but I would venture an INFORMED guess that any "GOD" is not the logical outcome and the idea of spirituality is skewed in a particular direction by Goswami. If you rate this documentary more than a 5 then you essentially abandon any claim of skepticism, scientific understanding (even if just attempted understanding), and pure common sense. if you can skew evidence one way then you can skew it the other...interesting that the "other" rarely makes the definite claims as found here.

jlittlebass Movies like this are doomed to instant and total dismissal by people who think they know everything.Why? Because they propose possibilities that people are totally unwilling to consider, even for a moment.This movie has one purpose, and that's to show you one man's point of view so that you can integrate his thoughts and insight into your own understanding of the universe you live in. But the people who trash it don't see it that way, they see it as "sparkly-eyed peddling of nonsense" and dismiss it entirely.I would never say that this movie is totally truthful or correct. The point of it is that the universe we live in is a very complex place, far too complex for us to really understand, and the only way we can broaden and increase our understanding of it is to BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS, open to the possibility that what we currently think MIGHT be wrong. That's exactly what the high-horse riders who wrote the leading reviews for this movie do not, cannot and will not ever be willing to do. And that's why they're annoying and pretentious.I'm not going to say this movie is totally brilliant, perfect, true, etc. But I will say that it is worth seeing and worth thinking about if you're the type of person who is genuinely interested in developing and improving his or her understanding of humanity, reality, god, and the universe. But since I think most people don't fall into that category, I understand why most people will find it worthless.

tedg Gosh, yet another something to buy as a shortcut to enlightenment. Yet again we encounter quantum physics as the magical combo: a scientific mystery that "proves" the mysteries beyond. Just what those mysteries are, depends on the salesman of course, but it is usually some Jungian truths presented with sparkly eyes.In this case, we get an esteemed professor who teaches the stuff, so he must know what he is talking about, right? Oh, and he is a Hindu with spiritual awards as well, so has street cred there too. Problems:What we have in this film is basically this one guy prattling on. I suppose one could edit this into a tight film like Linklater did in "Waking Life," or could spread out like we saw in "Ayurveda." Of we could have amusing animations like "What the ##."You have to know a few things. One is that just because someone teaches accounting doesn't mean he has insights into the dynamics of the economy. Quantum mechanics is clerical work; it is quantum logic (or whatever you choose to call the principles when divorced from physics) that is where the mysteries lay. You should also know that there is a long and seamy relationship between spiritual pitchmen and scientific notions: magnetism, vibrations, relativity, the fourth dimension have all had their turn as proof without realizing that they are metaphor.This is bad filmmaking, bad science and unconvincing spiritual wisdom. I would point the student to "Andrey Rublyov" instead.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
