Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

FountainPen What a load of pretentious claptrap this is. I've rated it 2 because there are some "movies" which are worse. The patronising, arrogant "scientists" in this presentation should be ashamed of themselves. Even these deep thinkers use the meaningless word "amazing". Ha Ha Ha Btw, I have a doctorate, too.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" is a documentary from over 10 years ago that runs for almost 2 hours and tries to make an impact with its messages about religion, life and general well-being. However, it all feels very awkward from start to finish and I never felt the message that the movie was trying to deliver us. Well.. actually there is a lot of acting in this film, so you could only call it a documentary to some extent. For example, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin appears here, but the acting wasn't either on a level where I would say that I was impressed. But you cannot really blame the actors as the script was just too weak and also not full enough of memorable content for such a runtime. The ratings here on IMDb and on critics websites are accurate I would say. it is not a complete failure, but also not a good movie by any means. Overall, I give it a thumbs down.

Ajinkya Kolhe As for me, this is a really good documentary and as some negative reviews pointed out skeptically, it DID leave a positive impact on me. But that was not the only thing that it did as they also said. I come from India where science and spiritualism have been deep rooted and our mythological Gods have long performed miraculous acts which were once frowned upon as only myths. We have hundreds and hundreds of tales describing the miracles that the old sages performed by meditating for long spans of time and being gifted to do particular things. Today, the world is slowly knowing the power of Yoga and Pranayama for improving life and health in general. We here strongly believe in the power of thoughts and the importance of subconscious and its connection to the physical world. I believe that we know very less about our existence and this documentary did quite a good job in giving a new perspective. Yes there was no factual data that it provided or there were no surveys conducted to prove the notion, but why do we always need quantitative proof for getting a point proved. and how many of us are really expert enough to comment. The only flip side of the documentary is however too much information to think over. If you are a general movie watcher, this is not an entertainer but a work put together by scholars as to what they think reality is. It is slow and methodical. It is for those who want to know and think things that are not part of our everyday table conversations. It gives us less information and more "to do" and I guess thats what has aroused all the skeptics about its credibility. With all due respects of course, it is just a matter of their choice whether to believe on the power of our minds and the extent to which it can be stretched.

thesteveoknows The use of the word "observer" in quantum mechanics is as misused as the word "particle." The actual physics term "observer" was always meant to mean the macroscopic object which interacted with a quantum object. In the movie however, the characters end up espousing a necessary human consciousness to quantum mechanics. The movie goes further than asserting that human consciousness is necessary to cause quantum states to be defined, but to build up the assertion that human consciousness somehow has actual control over quantum mechanics and therefore over reality itself. The irony in the movie comes when the character who stated it was pure ego to fashion a god or gods in our own image later stated that our consciousness made us all gods because we controlled reality itself...a new level of ego entirely. In the end, many mystics and people who have not studied physics in depth (they did, I believe, have one misguided physics graduate student in the movie...everyone else was outside the field) have not uncovered the wrongness of this misinterpretation. They built a movie out of a misinterpretation of a word. It's full of information, but the lie underneath makes the very notion that I watched it (after being asked so many times if I'd ever seen it) make me feel like I wasted my money and time.
