Beautiful, moving film.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I actually liked this movie very much, even though there are lots of things to be disliked. The first time I saw it, I thought that it was jaw-dropping. Then after that I researched some of the claims and unfortunately it seems that some of the things presented as truth are not true at all. And yes, I'm also very cautious with people who claim that they are a medium and there is one medium in this film...But next to that there are a lot of interesting things said in this film by some very intelligent people. So my advise is to not take everything too seriously and to draw your own conclusions about the things said in this film. Don't let the false claims and the medium distract you from the interesting stuff this movie has to offer.

With the polarization of the human race between Religion and Science, this movie (so I thought) did a good job in expressing a view that, if nothing else, opens some minds on both sides. To my horror, by reading some of these posts, it seems that the science community is becoming more and more close minded by totally disproving topics that don't align with their beliefs. I do not know how this movie was advertised, but I wasn't anticipating a science class. I will admit there were at least one self-serving unnecessary opinion in this movie that kind of turned me off, but overall I thought it did a good job of making the average person think in a way they never have and that is always a good thing.

For free-thinkers this movie is a must, if only because it defies categorization. The closest comparison might be a mixture of Donnie Darko & Moulin Rouge, with a little Neverending Story thrown in for good measure. But it's really in a league all it's own & as such must be taken with a grain of salt, not as gospel. It does get preachy, especially towards the end, and some of the new-age babble will leave non-free-thinkers highly uncomfortable at times. The movie walks the line between creativity & craziness, physics & psychics, psychology & psychosis. One minute we have "Dr. Quantum," an animated character rendered as a wise old blue-eyed man (read: God) encouraging the denizens of "flatland" (read: Earth) to break free of their 2D mindsets & recognize infinity, and the next we have an Irish priest saying that the idea of some aloof God lecturing from on high can go against ethical development. Some of the interviewees are geeky & down-to-earth, while others seem to have resolved-upon-observation to one fixed point of view from among the many potential points of view that they may hold when nobody's around. That said, the viewer should have a basic familiarity with some of the paradoxes, a.k.a. "weirdnesses" of the sub-atomic realm vis-a-vis the mechanical realm & "God" really does give a good visualization of the classic double-slit experiment near the movie's beginning, which for me was worth the price of admission anyway.

This movie did not develop ideas beyond the first version on any level: intellectually, creatively, visually, or spiritually. It did not deserve the effort or financing to produce it, and in fact seemed like a rehash of all the footage that wasn't used from the first film.*Perhaps* it included a couple of new 'talking heads'--but that only conveyed to me an egoism in trying to appease all the experts in the field. It contained no new information that was not already included in the first movie.Supposedly this movie is about cutting edge thought--but in fact, it pandered to an audience that doesn't have a clue, just because it repeated itself. Sort of like just shouting louder to someone who doesn't understand your point the first time.I liked "What the Bleep?" (liked, not loved) and I was prepared to LOVE "Down the Rabbit Hole..." But in my book, it was the same movie. What a disappointment!
