Absolutely brilliant

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

While some special effects are well-done, even creative, others are cheesy and distracting – and repetitive. The "acting" is mediocre – likely due to poor direction, full of flaws. The "story" is even worse – actually a melange of claims attempting to build some kind of theory on an "alternative reality" based on sketchy scientific "facts" (non- accredited and without references) and the authors' own "alternative facts". Intriguing, for the many minutes of never getting to the point – until "scientist" (one has to assume) claim one can create one's own "reality". So, one could walk on water, for example, if one just believe it possible. The problem is that they present it as "truth". They should invested their ideas and efforts in some sci-fi thriller. They could have come out with something entertaining or at least interesting – this was neither.

I watched the first half or so of this movie in class to learn the basics of quantum physics. I objected because I had heard it called pseudoscientific, but I moved on. My fellow students were quite bewildered by what they saw, not because they didn't believe it but because they were confused. There is definitely real quantum mechanics in this film, such as the fact that particles behave randomly until they interact with something. However, the presentation is not very interesting (no narrator, "experts" giving interviews that have nothing to do with the "story" that ties the narrative together) and is ultimately deceptive as it connects strange mysticism somehow to quantum mechanics. These ideas, misguided as they may be, could be better explained (someone saying "This means that observing the world around you could alter your perception, for instance). The reason I am comparing this to Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas (which I haven't actually seen) is that while both do feature some factual information (St. Nicholas did allegedly beat up Arias, the Christmas tree is connected to the cross and the Tree of Knowledge, et al.), the presentation is confusing and cheap (the weird techno dance number, the coffee-cup dubbing), and the leaps in judgment made by Cameron will throw most viewers off (God created the winter solstice, so there). I'm never disgusted by movies, but I think this deserves the same rating as Saving Christmas.

As a fictional Sci Fi film this movie is neat but as a documentary it is more a theological presentation not Physics. The part where this shows this to the viewer is at the end when they introduce those that they interview. Most are educated people of science then you meet the blond woman in with the odd accent. "Ramtha" Master Teacher – Ramtha School of Enlightenment Channeled by JZ Knight. WTF? So I looked tat up and found ….a main authority for the information being presented, (in the film WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?) is a 35,000 year old warrior spirit from Atlantis, being channeled by this Tacoma housewife turned... whatever
