This IS an interesting film to watch, but it is NOT a documentary. If you want to hear an alternative point of view you can watch it, but it is NOT science.

Simply awesome! an interesting documentary...contains a thing or two that wins the athiest/believers argument over belief in supernatural incidents(miracles)......

Yes it is available on the net. Actually it is not for sale i think. You can only get it off the net.

Hmmm, I hate to be the only dissenting voice here but a lot of that movie is a load of junk put together by a cult-type group called the Ramtha school of enlightenment. They basically believe that their leader, J.Z. Knight, is channeling the several-thousand year old spirit of a warrior from Atlantis. I wouldn't believe much or anything this group has to say. Just my opinion, though.

This movie is a load of feel-good nonsense with an extra helping of computer animation to help it go down.
I can't believe BioLad was the only dissenting voice on this site!

Ice crystals are prettier when they're near happy thoughts and words???
We create reality by our thoughts alone?
People can't see things they don't already have ways to describe?
Even the Quantum Mechanical parts of the film, which seemed questionable,
don't fully explain how to use this "science"...how to test it and *verify* the movie's claims.


Anyway, more intellegent people than me have dismissed this movie:

Oh boy I am stupid... Thanks for the enlightenment...
The only thing I regret now is mentioning this film on my Princeton Application...

I hope you didn't 'namedrop' on your application as well...
