Sorry, this movie sucks

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It hit me pretty early on that this was most probably not a "legitimate" documentary but something more along the lines of Joaquin Phoenix'a "I'm Still Here". Still the concept was interesting. Personally I enjoyed the "spiritual journey" aspect that would have been interesting even without the premise of his sixth sense. A reviewer here implied, in so many words, that the film came off as one big advertisement for new age philosophy, etc. I didn't see it that way. On the contrary, Elrod's reactions to practically all of the "mystics" was one of befuddlement, confusion, cynicism and resignation that the journey had not ended...and perhaps it's a paradox that he "found enlightenment" not with modern esoteric theology but in the ancient wisdom of the Native American. On the contrary, I got the impression that some of the new age practices were being skewered. I mean, how foolish do grown men and women look shooting arrows at targets with blindfolds on their eyes??? I give the film a seven because it was interesting and a decent, if concise introduction to unorthodox belief systems. It held my attention.

My daughter, who has a Masters in Psychology and is a shamanic practitioner, told me to watch this. For some reason I haven't figured out, i had to try and watch it three times (getting past the first twenty minutes was just so uncomfortable). It was worth the effort of breaking through that wall. I felt his journey was honest - including his discomfort in front of the camera and his slow learning that being vulnerable is not as awful as the fear of being vulnerable. The folks he contacted were very interesting and appeared genuine. There were many 'touching' moments. The 'ah-ha' moments were my favorites however - just love witnessing openings. Watch it with an open mind and heart - then see what you think after.

I agree with timmyhollywood's review on this documentary. It was boring and very poorly thrown together. I expected to see more concrete examples of his connections with spirits, like in the movie sixth sense. The only interesting part of the movie was the interview with Roger Nelson on his Global Consciousness Project, which has been collecting data from randomly generated numbers for 12 years. They claim that there is a connection between randomly generated numbers and world events, it is an interesting theory. However, I am skeptical.I'm disappointed that Netflix has a 3 star rating on this film. Skip this film and watch Tom Shadyac's 'I Am' documentary, which is also available on Netflix and much more inspiring.

I really liked this documentary and plan to watch it again shortly with my husband. It is a refreshing look at a courageous man grappling to come to terms with unusual abilities that come to him. Other reviewers doubt the authenticity of his experience. That did not occur to me, honestly. It seemed believable, and, yes, it would have been nice to have more explanation. But what I got was that there really was no explanation, and that is a fact of life, that it's full of mysteries. Mostly, however, it's a journey from a fundamentalist Christian origin to a journey of open spiritual exploration and the realization that we are evolving to a world where spirituality transcends religion.
