What I find most amazing are the responses that are nothing more than name calling. Usually, that's limited to the purveyors of hate radio, but it's interesting to find it here. Note that there isn't any actual refutation, just denial and denunciation with nothing to back it up. Why? Usually the cause is fear...fear of anything that might upset one's limited view of the potentials of the universe. Personally, I just found the movie very boring and dated. Mostly a yawner with researchers having gone far beyond what was put into the film. - Shambhalanth , posted 03/22/09 |

and soooooooo racist and sexist! what a load of crap. so glad to see other folks on here who hated it. i saw it in a crowd of friends who loved it and i thought i was going to throw up! - Kinnari , posted 03/22/09 |

This movie...is terrible. I am a huge fan of the quantum. I study it. I read it all the time. And I like movies that try and make it easy to get. But this movie?? ABOMINATION!!! It mixes the facts with new age crap...."if you want a bike..YOU GET A BIKE!! YES!!!" no. - sabine , posted 03/20/09 |

First using new age-y folks like Ramtha to sell the current thinking in neuroscience is not a particularly good tactic. Even if one of these quacks did manage to come across the same general idea does not mean they "invented" it, nor that they even came close to getting it right. These platitudes have been spread across every religion, every self-help guru, and every philosophy since the dawn of time, Just because science finally got around to an explanation, doesn't meant it's new or has anything to do with Atlantis. And the story about Columbus landing in the Caribbean was a complete fabrication. Not only did those tribes have no writing, and passed knowledge through oral history only, but they were completely killed off by his second expedition. His first landing killed most of them by disease, the rest were enslaved and ultimately killed before any other western contact. As for the physics, well, that was the worst explanation for some of the current working theories I've ever seen. My feeling is that they were intentionally picking the most obfuscated parts of the most complicated theories to help make quanta seem more complex rather then more understandable. Once you resign to not understand something, then it's easier to get spoon fed crap like the stuff above. I use the same technique when talking to Fire Marshals. You want a good movie about particle physics? Pick up "Mindwalk" - Tedward , posted 03/06/09 |

I liked it! I watched it sober first, then drunk another time then stoned another time. Each time it got better. And to think I didn't even type this! HUH!!! - WallsSTudio , posted 01/01/06 |

UPDATE!: ramtha is now selling a "Create Your Day" DVD, so all you suckers that "had their life changed" by this turd of a movie can send even more money to ramtha spirit vessel #19, so she can enlighten you further (and lighten your wallet further). the "beginning enlightenment retreat" is only $1000 bucks - damn, they make scientology look like hucksters... this entire movie was a marketing scam disguised as science. it has nothing to to with quantum anything. ORIGINAL POST: okay, so, there's this stuff called quantum physics, so, like, you don't have to be fat if you don't want to. ???! c'mon folks - you can find better "answers" than the soft serve pablum easy way out pile of crap this movie is. if it did interest you - look deeper! do your own research! don't be lazy! don't confuse this with science (or philosophy), lest you be doomed to disinformed, hoodwinked sheepdom. BAHHH! BAHHHHH! - bughouse , posted 06/17/05 |

This movie was a waste of my time. Taking failed science out of context doesn't make for a new and exciting interpretation of reality. A few of the talking heads had something interesting to say, but most were full of pseudo-bullshit. - ballistic , posted 12/31/04 |

Playing at the Loew Beverly Center 13. I went with Chris yesterday, will go at least 2 more times. It would be great to make a party of it. There is so much more to explore. - Pirate King , posted 10/25/04 |

...to make a concious decition about how you want to live your life. Combines 2 sciences- quantum physics: reality is infinite and instantaneous, therefore quit beatin yourself up for your mistakes, theyre 50% completely random happening, and every other option was played out at that moment anyway. -and neuro-chemistry: your hypothalmus produces combinations for 19 emotions, and your cells can get addicticted to one or more of these (hint: be addicted to happy! duh). Its easy to explain it to you burners and ravers, but this puts it in a way that your uptight inlaws and sellout little brother can understand, using drama, animation, and testimonal from about 25 reliable, empirical scientists. Sure the maharishi 'glass of water that reads' stuff smells, but the other 99% could change someones life, maybe yours. -  PatFireCat

Anyone who wants to see peace and harmony in the world must see this effective tool on how our brain works to set up our experiences. This movie will change the world! - Denise , posted 08/31/04 |

The science/philosophy was interesting...it would have been much more enjoyable if it was just the talking heads. Then I would have loved it. The sub story was really poorly done I think and badly acted. It couldn't really decide what it wanted to be...maybe it's a metaphor for quantum observation, Heisenberg would have loved it. The wedding scene was painful to watch. It looked like a cheezy, silly antacid commercial. - Fred , posted 08/13/04 |

Absolutely brilliant film. This is the sequel and companion to many of the concepts within the Matrix. "If you cannot control your emotions then you are addicted to them" A film that entertains as it teaches us what scientists are finally discovering....The Meaning of Life. The quest for meaning is what science was supposed to discover for us, but since so many years have passed since the scientists left on this voyage, we have forgotten what our meaning is. We have become content to make ourselves as comfortable as possible until they return w/ the answers. Well, they are beginning to return! And get ready for the answers! Are you too comfortable in your existance to care anymore? Perhaps you feel that there is something missing. This film is for you. The enlightened and inquisitive ones. Love it! Love It! Love It! Right up there w/ Mindwalk! - grasshopper , posted 08/14/04 |

I've read a bit on the topics discussed in the film, so the concepts were not new to me. I liked the way they put it all together. A little heavy on the new-agey feel, but still a great flick. Everyone should see this for a look inside some of the weirder avenues of current scientific and philosophical thought. - Evan , posted 07/09/04 |
