Do you remember how electrical currents and "unseen waves" were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy. - Albert Einstein Reading some of these reviews I am surprised and then yet again I am not... You can throw out "Shoddy Science" labels but have you ever studied Quatum Physics? It is a huge controversy yes, but that is mainly because it totally puts into question how we've been observing reality (science!) all this time... a good book to pick up after watching this movie is --> From Science to God<-- the story of a physist who realizes the way he perceives his reality is based on his conditioning in this three dimensional planet... It's amazing what happens when you just open your eyes to the possibilities!! It really is the first step... My favorite Physist in this movie is Dr.Fred Alan Wolf.. the guy with all the crazy hair... hahaha he actually has written some AMAZING stuff... www.fredalanwolf.com/ He has great articles on page two... Conversations With God is a must!!! Dr.Wolf has a great way of explaining things... they make sense scientifically and yet he can tie it into the everday so you can APPLY it... to those sceptics out there... it is important to realize that when you are having such a strong negative/rejective reaction, you need to take a step back into some neutrality and figure out why you have such a problem with it... remind you of yourself? maybe reminds you that you're not sure what you believe? While it is never comfortable to go through this "processing" it is ohhh soo necessary!! The film will open yer eyes, if you let it!!! and to the Dr.Emoto bashers... our thoughts do have either a positive or negative effect on our body and all the cells/moleclues in and around us... how do you know there is no way to "see" it? and I wonder what yer water crystals would look like right about now... Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life. - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi The Yogi's have known it for thousenads of years... we just have to catch up... www.whatthebleep.com/whatthebleep/ go.. go NOW!! GO NOW!!!!! -  MerryMarie :D

"What the Bleep Do We Know" includes explanations of some concepts of physics and biology, from neural networks in human brains to quantum mechanics and much more. But it goes far beyond that when it seeks to *interpret* those concepts and present its own thoughts on their possible impacts upon people, relationships, the human body, and our general outlook on life. People who expect a straight-up scientific piece will be disappointed, because this movie goes deeply into theories that cannot be scientifically verified. Some of the ideas are more plausible than others; some are ridiculous. But the point is to get you to *think* about science and how it *might* affect our lives and our outlook, even if it just gives you jumping-off points for your own creative thoughts. After all, there's more value to be gained studying science than merely acquiring textbook knowledge of what is provably true and what is not! I found the film to have surprising depth and breadth of ideas, and I seem to get something else out of it each time I watch. - Bryan

Excellent. This movie to me was not about Science, not about religion, It was an informative, entertaining way of expressing the old premise of treat your neighbor. There is some fact, some humor. this film was not made to create controversy or even geared to piss anyone off. It just makes people think. How can anything that makes you go HMMMM. Can be bad? It was stimulating & makes you think. Life's too short create the one you want. - Shawn , posted 07/04/07 |

A must see movie. People will say negitve things about this movie because it challenges their own beliefs. Watch this movie with an open mind, not one that is looking for reasons to disprove it. - Unsubscribed , posted 04/09/07 |

It isn't science, it's BS. Here's what other scientists have to say about it: "Most of these statements are gross distortions of recent scientific findings." "It is the third highest grossing documentary ever and it claims to be about quantum physics, but in fact it makes gross distortions that would make any self-respecting scientist squirm. For example, the film states that experiments imply that labeling a bottle of water with words like 'love' or 'hate' can change its molecular structure. Indeed, the film suggests that quantum physics can explain why this is the case. Apparently quantum physics can also be exploited to bring about world peace through meditation. Having spent the last fifteen years making documentaries and writing about science, I care hugely about the accurate and honest portrayal of science." “I think this film is dangerous because it exploits people’s genuine desire to understand the big questions – like why we are here – then gives the answers the veneer of science. My worry is that my friends – who are all very intelligent people but not scientifically trained – will not know where the good science ends and the speculation begins – that’s the insidious side.” (From www.einsteinyear.org/bleep/ ) Also: "My own reaction was complete embarrassment that anyone could offer such claptrap under the name of physics speculation." -Donald Coyne, retired UC Santa Cruz experimental physicist www.santacruzlive.com/ex/cont...547/104/ - mandy , posted 04/09/07 |

Thank you for this movie it is WOW. BuddhaHill, a place where the experiment is done to integrate this scientific insight in the daily life of a human being. - ChaMeera , posted 04/09/07 |

these things have been said for thousands of years by budist and now the is science to back it HA!!!!! - Unsubscribed , posted 02/02/07 |

Both examples of stories based on Junk Science. The science explanations are decent and do a good job of explaining complex concepts to the world. It basically fails when suggesting it's own theory as fact. It's simply irreproducible and the evil part of this movie is that it presents itself as science. It's like GW Bush promoting himself as a great "Uniter". If I could i'd give it zero stars. It's dangerous in that it tries to base itself on solid science and yet fails the basic scientific test: reproducibility. No one has yet to be able to reproduce these results. The "molecules" of water they present are not even molecules at all - any intermediate science student could tell you that. It's a shoddy piece of work, but presented well enough for people to believe in. That's what makes it dangerous. - David , posted 06/19/06 |

I don't really care for Ramtha, but I liked the concept of the movie. It helped push home some of the thinking I already believe in. And what is this constant stuff people are yacking about "fluffly new age" and "new age thinking", who the hell is to judge if it makes someone happy or thats what they choose to believe. Is it truly affecting those who are so bothered by it? The movie was good in my opinion. - Greg , posted 06/01/06 |

Yes, I know the water crystal thing is allot of BS... But I like it… Allot of what we prove turns out to be wrong anyway… Basically this movie serves as a reminder to focus on the positive and don't get dragged by your own thoughts. Kind of like that guy on the old Saturday night live shows.. Self Affirmations... : ) - Garth , posted 05/29/06 |

I fully believe that science, mysticism, poetry, and spirituality can co-exist - indeed, that they are at heart the same thing. But this is junk science and spirituality-lite masquerading as deep insight. - kanewai

just another step towards opening up more minds... to the possibilites - Sharon , posted 05/12/06 |

I would have rather just watched it as a documentary with interviews all the way through. The animations and storyline didn't translate well with me. Good intro to quantum physics if you are new to some of the more unusual concepts. - Jeremy , posted 01/18/06 |

Movie isn't actually accurate, but give it props for at least delivering concepts to the masses...who generally have too short of an attention span to watch if it were not "jazzed" up. If your a new fan of the movie, I would highly suggest reading "Alice in Quantumland." - Daysha , posted 01/05/06 |

It keeps getting better. I've charged my day like charging a bottle of water. Love, happiness, peace, money, health. It works. Yes it does!! - WallsSTudio , posted 01/01/06 |

It's an introduction to some thought provoking ideas. Those who hated might want to ask themselves why it pushed their buttons, rather than tryring to dismiss it so readily. They never claim it to be truth, simply possibility. - Mink

I watched this movie three times and I had to take notes. It is so intense. It could have done without the cheesy dramatizations, but that is part of it's charm. The interviews with Ramtha and Dr. Pert were the best. I don't buy Dr. Emoto's findings though. I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to change the way they view their world. - Andalee , posted 12/19/05 |

This movie really changed my life and has lead me to study the law of attraction which has helped business and life in general. - Chris , posted 12/12/05 |

this infomercial new age crap piece of a film (?) was one of the most laughable attempts at metaphysical meandering i've ever had the displeasure of seeing. after being emphatically recommended by a few people -- who thought it was right up my alley, i finally got my chance to see this drivel. I would have loved to have seen a film that truly expounded on the theories and complexity of quantum reality and how this might affect spiritual development. however, this movie had me cringing!! embarassed for the people who made it.. the film looks really bad for starters (got art direction..?).. and comes off feeling/looking like an afterschool special. me being the analytical spiritual seeker that i am. i was very disappointed that such a great subject matter was reduced to this schlock. Ugh, it makes me cringe to even think about. even more so for the people who think it's an amazing, eye opening film. to the film's credit, there were a few brilliant interviewees that could actually speak to the complexity around quantum physics and how it (may) affect our lives. the rest felt like a brainwashing mind-fuck by ramtha. she's so disingenuous, and creepy! i gave it one star for the attempt and the few brilliant quantum physicists in the film. the rest is torture to watch! - )(_.gabriel._)( , posted 12/07/05 |

I thought this film was awesome, not because it was great film making (it was not), not because I am a Ramptha devotee (I am not), but becuase it reminds us about our inate, powerful spiritual selves in a time when so little in our everyday universe does that. I left this movie feeling empowered and reminded of all that could be in my own world, were I to stop being own public enemy #1. It's message all of this apathetic planet could stand to hear right now... whether you want to argue the finer points of the research or not. I KNOW that when I perceive myself to be an empowered being (which I am from time to time), I AM an empowered being, at least until the fog settles back in. But the stuff I am capable of while in that frame of mind, whooooEEE!! Look out y'all!! And this movie just scoots me back there a little bit, and that's good. - Saakimba , posted 12/03/05 |

Once in awhile there's a movie that changes your beliefs on almost everything. When watching this movie you will be reminded of what could be, and all in all the ultimate question will always be Why? - Unsubscribed , posted 11/22/05 |

hey all, hated it.. If the psuedo-scientific clap-trap (I have an open mind, 2 seconds of research blows half of the assertations in this flick out of the water) isnt enough for you.. do a little bit of research into the ramtha cult and it's connections to this "documentary".... please... please, please, please, please, please.. - J , posted 11/21/05 |

You know, the medium is the message? The way this movie was conceived, shot, and edited lends itself very well to explicating its subject. Oh, and, Marlee Matlin is *hot*!! - Jesse , posted 11/16/05 |

Pay attention! This movie is a stepping stone of some importance. did you eat the red or the blue pill? - Miz Julie , posted 11/15/05 |

Great to see the Mind power & quantum stuff on the big screen finally. I though it was brilliant. - Glenn , posted 11/14/05 |

It starts out all science talk and almost innundates you about physics, like "ok already I know what you are talking about, so what about it!?" Then it totally delivers. Amazing concepts and visual representations. - Rebhel , posted 11/13/05 |

Well, okay loved the movie for it's message and information it relayed...once I got over bad acting and the cheesy story they put with all the great facts that the movie shared. It's definitely worth seeing. - Angelique , posted 10/24/05 |

Well, I suppose this is a European film that's been done in the US. Coming from hi! places, to low places. Different places. I wish I'd seen this movie but I don't, or even exist, or in the US. It sounds like a mind bending trip down memory lane, heart break hotel. I'm sure the space program is in there somewhere isn't it? Like it was Irwin Lane? 1950s? David Watts in this movie is who? Amanda? Do you believe in worm holes? I do. - grandpa , posted 10/05/05 |

I won't go into detail about how dodgy the science and spirituality are in this film, because I feel that it's been well expressed by others. I will however say that I thought the quality of the film itself was that of a mid-grade after school special. |
