Blah. One of the worst films of last year. I hope there won't be a flood a New Age-ish films like this one.

I rented it but haven't watched it yet. LOL, I'm waiting for hubby to watch it with me so I'll have someone to discuss it with.

It was silly. About halfway through it I realized that it was not speculation, but rather advocating a position. Very new-agey which is not suprising since it was produced by the Ramtha people.

Skip it.

LOL, already watched it. It was interesting, I liked the bits concerning positive thinking, but probably not a movie that will have a dramatic effect on my way of thinking.

 

[sweetlambofgod]

i think its all on your beliefs actually, if its something you believe in then ya, if not then whatever

Im sure if I were completely and openly honest in my opinion, Id get banned or at least seriously warned.

So I will hold back

This movie is a bag of new age claptrap.
It's an insult to the intelligence of the viewer.

I didnt think it was possible to make a movie that would offend christians, atheists and scientists. I was wrong.

We are given the equivalent of a 6th grade introduction to quantum physics. No, really, it's that basic. They present this information as if it were all new and shiny, but it's information that humanity has been utilizing for the last CENTURY. Nothing new here, let's move on.

Once the movie supposedly establishes the "scientific" slant of the movie, they begin moving into regions much more nebulous, such as how "thoughts can change reality". Additionally, the speakers (some of whom have come forward and stated that their statements were taken out of context and edited to make it seem like they were agreeing with the premise of the movie) SEEM to be saying that one can re-write reality from the quantum level on up merely by thinking about it.

One physicist (who, I found out later, has come under fire from other physicists) states, accurately, that Heisenberg said "Atoms are just tendencies" (paraphrased), implying that atoms aren't "real" in the sense we think of that word. Philosophically, this sounds great. However, Id like to see him jump off a building and try to ignore the "tendencies" of the atoms in the asphalt.

From here, the movie gets even more ridiculous.

They attempt to use their new age theories to move into the realm of god, and in so doing, directly and purposefully insult Christianity and most of the world's religions. According to the movie, if you hold to a religion, or a god concept, you are subscribing to an ignorant backwoods concept of god(s) that is supposedly insulting to the "real God". Of course, what they fail to realize is that by claiming to have an idea of the "real God" they are just as stupid as they imply everyone else is.

Just to top it off, we find out at the end of the movie that one of the speakers is supposedly "Ramtha", a 35,000 year old Atlantean warrior who supposedly conquered most of the world and then ascended to heaven (just like Jesus). Ramtha, of course, is being 'channeled'.
I think this pic explains my feelings about that

Im glad stupidity isn't catching, because if it were, this movie would be highly contagious.

Nothing!!!!

 

[Lithium Hobo]

Nothing!!!!

Guess your dates can cut out dinner and a movie then.

Sounds like a horrible movie. I'll be avoiding it, for one. Normally I wouldn't mind watching any Marlee Matlin movies since I myself am deaf, but for her to be cast in this 'new age religion' genre of film is nothing short of embarrassing.

I've bought quite a few movies, And listened to multiple books on Quantom Physics, Enjoyed "Fabric of the Universe", but this is the First DVD that I'm giving to my dog to play with.

(And even that is a waste)

 

[Phatbowser]

I never heard of it myself.
