More than what I needed 
2008-08-19
Interesting but it was too complicated for my adult students and it did not hold their attention very long. I will not use it in the future.
A must see

This movie wil surley open your eyes or at the very least it will grab your attention. Down the rabbit is definatly a must see.
Different Things to Different People 2008-07-27
This movies tends to create a lot of friction when discussed. It's easy to see why. It belongs in the new/re-branded area of mysticism that dresses up in the trappings of modern physics. Science as a name has belonged to scientists for so long that their not willing to let mysticism use the name just yet.
If you practice Astrology, science of mind, out-of-body travel and so on, this movie is for you. It validates such pre-existing beliefs with the reputable stamps of "Science" and "Physics" placed on the box. The belief-system is now more aesthetically repackaged and can be widely recommended to co-workers throughout the office without being construed as "hokey".
If you're this type of person, don't bother preaching it to those co-workers in the engineering department, though. It won't catch on with them. Admittedly, I'm one of those guys, but I do understand the appeal. Those with any actual background in the hard sciences will just scoff at this or demand that their wasted time be refunded through your positive thinking.
I was disappointed when I went to see the movie because I was hoping for a study in Quantum Physics, as the movie is often proclaimed to be such a study. It's not. I was hoping to see cool (colorful CGI imagery) examples of sub-atomic particle behavior, the Butterfly Effect, maybe even some of the parallel worlds stuff, and so on (even if that is all stuff widely available on the Discovery channel). While this movie did touch on those things a tiny bit (maybe not the Butterfly Effect), for the most part, it was about metaphysics, pseudo-psychology and personal sociology. The movie has a closer relationship with the daily horoscope than with Einstein.
For those of us who prefer that theories be scrutinized and tasked with proof under the scientific method, we really just have to accept the fact that we got something mis-labeled and wasted some time watching it. There's no point in trying to change the views of the other half. Trying to get someone who loves this movie to read some Erwin Schroedinger over Uri Geller is a lost cause. It's just not what they want and sometimes it's best to just move along and smile at the newly discovered love of "Quantum Physics".
Best hybred movie ever! 2008-07-20
Better and lots more content totally worth it! It'll change the way you think about life.
Do research, find the truth

I was very disappointed to discover that most of this movie is unscientific fluff. I can't remember his name, but the professor from Columbia was shocked after seeing the finished film. He said he would have never agreed to it if he knew what the producers had in mind.
The woman channeling the ghost from Atlantis (I wish I was kidding) is using it to drive a marketing campaign for her products.
Do some research on the water labeling experiment. It turns out he only selected the ones that reflected what he was looking for. Meaning, he labeled 50 bottles of water with "love" and only used the ones that worked.
I can go on, but you just need to research for yourself or talk to a real quantum scientist. If you like a feel good fictional movie, this is for you. If you're looking for real quantum science and it's impact on real life, look elsewhere.
Quantum Physics and Spirituality meets Hollywood 
2008-07-09
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn?t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn?t reality at all!
Terrible, whether you're new or not to this stuff. 2008-07-01
This "movie" is terrible. I realise it wasn't made as a real movie and more of a quasi-docudrama type thing, but the "docu" and "drama" are both awful. There's some good scientists who have some great thoughts about quantum reality, but while watching this I felt like without having read numerous books on the subject, I would hardly have known what they were talking about. And, since I _am_ well educated on this topic, I felt like this movie added nothing.
It's geared towards newcomers to the topic, but it fails. Look around on Amazon for highly rated intro-to-quantum-theory books if you're interested in the subject, don't buy this.
This had potential, but it's just horribly flawed by bad acting, not deciding if it wants to be a collection of interviews or a noncoherent storyline, virtually no art direction, and inadequately presented information.

The best review of this video is this: once i watched it the first time i ordered two more video's so i can circulate them amongst my friends.

Hey, I'm all for positive thinking, but... 2008-06-23
...this is a film reel can full of tripe.
Some of these "scientists" think we are always in the process of making our own little universes. Tell that to the millions of children starving to death in Africa: seems they have the ability to make their own little hell on Earth. Just think positive little one, you'll soon be eating gourmet food and all the caviar you can stand. Then you can run and skip around in your pretty little dress or even fly if you want to. Want to walk on water?
I would love to see any of these "scientists" with a really bad tooth ache. I would love to be a fly on the wall. I'm sure some of them would be saying, 'Come on body you have all the blueprints to make me a new tooth -- you can do it body -- you can do it.
Don't even accept this as a free gift, it is most disturbing. Very deluded and an unfortunate waste of valuable brain-power. (If you must you may be able to borrow it from a library).
P.S. I have no religious affiliation, that is not my issue. I am life-long student of science.
jumbled 2008-06-16
The underlying message of the movie was amazing. The movie itself seems to try to be too many things. The halfway developed story of the photographer has no relationship to the brilliant scientists. The animated sequence of human cells addicted to certain emotions seems superimposed on the story in a careless way. Basically, all the seams, stitches and bolts are showing. This is unfortunate because the interviews with the scientists really elucidate the staggering importance and implications of quantum physics in very easy-to-understand language. The animation of the cells, neurons and hypothalamus also makes things clear. If nothing else, see it for the subway scene with the Japanese Water Experiment. That was a paradigm shift in and of itself!!! The movie as a whole is just put together poorly.
