 Ramtha vs Godzilla April 4, 2005
DR, DOOM (BROOKLYN)

I thought Ramtha wouldn't stand a chance against Godzilla, boy was I wrong. It was close for awhile and the mighty lizard fought marvelously, even setting her wig alight. Ramtha's mouth then yawned wide and let loose a blast of pestilence so foul it took Godzilla's head clean off!
Then, the terrible sound of flexing muscle, tearing sinew, and popping cartelidge echoed over downtown tokyo, as Ramtha dislocated her jaw, and proceeded to swallow Godzilla's smoking torso in three spastic grunts!
I can't tell you what happens next, but be sure you will see the return of the sinister Dr. Emoto and his minions of ice.
Ramtha kicked so much butt I was a little disappointed that she retired to the volcanorama... The rest of the movie was mostly scientists speculating on what if Ramtha and Godzilla were to breed, and if a tree crapped in the woods would it make a sound?
More Ramtha next time, less blah blah blah. I gotta bail through the Mobius strip now, and try not to get nutted

What the Bleep did they just make up? April 8, 2005

After having a peak over ten years ago, the Ramthanator is making an attempted comeback with its / their / her own theater-based commercial for soft-headed, self-congratulatory philosophy.
It just goes to show that anybody with a story (no matter how utterly preposterous) presented with flowery language and an authoritative voice will not only find listeners, but suckers who will turn into full-on believers. Provide some flashy graphics and flattering language, and anything is acceptable.
I had to shut it off after 45 minutes and asked for a refund from the video store (and got it). This thing only gets one star because I can't rate it with zero stars. If you are looking for science programming, at least watch NOVA on PBS--it's accurate, devoid of hokey philosophy, often has nifty graphics, and best of all, it's free!
If you are:
- self-absorbed, yet weak-willed
- not as smart as you think you are
- so open-minded your brain fell out
- into lame movie titles that try way too hard to be clever
then this feature-length recruiting film is for you.
Disappointing! Don't be fooled! April 5, 2005

As a science student, I was extremely excited when I first saw the fliers for "What the Bleep..." Quantum physics illustrates some of the most mysterious and mind-blowing characteristics of our universe and I thought this movie was going to be about Quantum physics.
I would hardly call this a movie about Quantum physics. Full of new age philosophies and "experts" fit for cable access, "What the bleep..." was a huge disappointment. I do not claim to know everything about this topic (as there is so much to learn), but I know the difference between science and pseudoscience.
This movie felt like one long introduction for a movie about Quantum physics--"experts" kept explaining how amazing and weird quantum physics is without ever actually explaining it! There was no mention of the double-slit experiments, Schroedinger's cat, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, etc.
I guess I was expecting something of "Nova" quality and instead, got a bunch of new age hippies talking about "creating your own reality, blah blah."
Perhaps this is a step in the right direction towards science awareness. For future refrence, for people thinking about making a science-themed movie/documentary: the truth is a lot more amazing and weird and mind-blowing than the pseudoscience, not to mention more important.
Bait and Switch April 5, 2005

I attended a showing of this movie and was a little put off by the rabid intensity with which it was received. During an after show Q and A, any criticisms were booed, and people not completely embracing the film-makers' belief-system were branded close-minded and victims of a biased western educational world-view.
I won't blindly follow anyone and did not appreciate this kind of mob rules mentality. Before closing people were encouraged to post on message, news-groups, and review-boards as often as possible.
This movie was a jumbled mess. I think it's true purpose can be exposed by the many other products and services being offered under the What The Bleep Umbrella. . .Interestingly enough if one follows the money it leads to the door of a 35,000 year old spirit from Atlantis named Ramtha. This franchise has just taken it to the next level.
A hopeless mess that is intellectually bankrupt March 22, 2005

I have always liked Marlee Matlin, so it was a bit of a disappointment to see her appearing in this foolish New Age clunker. The film's philosophical themes are presented in a superficial, "Gee whiz, isn't this impressive?" style without presenting any of the topics in a way that would encourage substantial thought, or even a genuine sense of wonder, on the part of the viewer. Especially confusing are the frequent references to "quantum physics," because even though they keep repeating this as if it were some kind of mantra, at no time do they ever say anything ABOUT quantum physics, or explain why quantum physics would be relevant to the subjects of this film! They just keep mentioning the phrase "quantum physics" for no good reason that I can discern. A confusing diversity of topics is presented with little or no attempt to relate them to each other or to provide a unifying theme for the whole. The plot of the story involving Matlin seems to touch on the philosophical interviews in only the most tangential way, so that nothing in this film seems to have much to do with anything else! The philosophical commentators are mostly physicists and medical scientists, though why in the world such scientific credentials would be relevant to philosophical discussions of the nature of consciousness and reality is unclear. The most ridiculous thing by far is the inclusion of J.Z. Knight. It is impossible to take seriously any philosophical discussions that involve a woman who claims to be channeling a 35000 year old mystic from Atlantis. I mean, really. And the commentators are given to making hieratic pronouncements instead of trying to cultivate a spirit of inquiry and humility in the face of great mysteries. These fools may think that they have it all figured out but I really doubt that they do. Much of the philosophical discussion consists of impossibly extravagant generalizations, such as the claim that nothing exists except our own perceptions, etc. Adoloescents may find such ideas to be engaging, but adults who are sincerely interested in deep inquiry, and in transcending conventional perceptions and conventional ways of thinking should avoid this cheap New Age knockoff and look for something more substantial.
