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.

Movie Review: Hey, I'm all for positive thinking, but...
Summary: 1 Stars
...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.
Movie Review: jumbled
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Movie Review: This has got to be a joke..... Right?

I just have to say that this is my very first review on Amazon.
After reading reviews on this movie I chose not to buy it but bought "You can Heal Your Life" instead. However I was still curious about "what the bleep". I found it on a website where I could view it for free. Thank God 'cause I would have been pissed with a capital P had I paid $$ to buy it. I can't believe this. I would NOT recommend this movie ever. Rent it for $3-4 bucks and save yourself the agitation of feeling jipped.
What I can say is that the most interesting part is when the scientists/experts give their explanations and references of how our minds create our envioronment and how it effects our bodies but it seems to be about 25% of the movie. The rest is unnecessary elongated filming that is supposed to describe/support the experts views. All it is doing is filling up space between experts speaking to make it seem like a full length movie. It didn't seem to match and flow with the experts; not as far as content but presentation.
As Siskel & Ebert would say " THUMBS DOWN"
Movie Review: Thought provoking and potentially life changing
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that like many theories (science or otherwise) Quantum physics produces a mental model or conceptual model of how reality is. In this case it's a way of visualizing what is happening in the experiments in those particle accelerators. Language, including mathematics (wich is just a language too,) is more or less a set of symbols that point to that wich they are describing. A way to fit what is experienced into a framework we can wrap are heads around. The verification for it, like most theories about how reality works, comes not from the irrefutable proof that our way of thinking of it is the be all end all deepest most complete mental model of the world there is... But rather, it's verification comes from the fact that like any theory that stands the test of time..... It allows for predictions that are consistently congruent with our experience. In other words, they calculate the answer we are looking for, and they do so very well. If it didn't work for practical intents and purposes, we would have moved on to a model that gets the correct predictions. Or at least we'd be trying to move toward one. Like language, mental models of what happens in the sub-atomic realm are not the thing itself to wich it points. But a set of symbols to explain what it is pointing to.
Does the math behind it being consistent with the results of experiment REALLY mean that matter is spread out in all the probable locations, spins, velocities etc at once like a number matrix? Until a measurement is made? That, I can't tell you. But the equations do seem get the result that agrees with what we experience in experiments.
But what I DO know is this: In regards to the questions of consciousness.... My EXPERIENCE of what appears to me to be reality "out there" is profoundly effected by MY "mental model" of how reality is, and how things are "supposed to be". If I become convinced of new way of looking at the way the world is, then regardless of weather my perceptual differences and habit's of thought patterns actually have an effect on the "out there" (matter, events, etc) it's undeniably effected the way I'VE experienced that event. Wich for most people is highly relevant to their ability to be happy in the present moment. Does experiencing reality in a new way equate to changing it? Maybe or maybe not. It seems that at this point in the evolution of our consciousness, we can't get out of our finite brains and bodies and experience to test what we experience against ultimate reality, to confirm that it was purely the perceptual, or if some effect on the events was induced by that perception.
If we (any individual person) choose to be totally honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that whatever our current world view is, we don't absolutely KNOW that it's the deepest most perfect model of the highest most complete in-alterable truth of everything there is, was or will potentially be. But rather that it is merely the world view that SEEMS to be the most plausible given our current level of consciousness, and the information we have available, and how well we can reduce our bias's when analyzing our experience. And that goes for ANY person and ANY honest assessment of one's one world paradigm. It seems there is always a possibility that a deeper or more complete view of ultimate reality exists than whatever our current one is. Brainwashing oneself to believing that there could be no question that there is any inaccuracy or lack of completeness in ones world view may serve to make that person feel comfortable by taking the out of control feeling that is all to familiar to any person who has searched for a way to exist happily in the world, (wich I deeply empathize with BTW), still, it is not being very honest with oneself unless it is backed by experience. Not necessarily using exclusively a realist/materialist method of experience, but just experience of some kind.
To me, this movie is mostly about various phenomena of experience (Weather it be quantum mechanics, neuroscience, out of body, or psychic experience, emotional or psychological experience,spiritual experience or WHATEVER type) any phenomenon that makes us keep re-evalutating our "Paradigm" or model of how we think different aspects of reality are like. If it changes the reality "out there" to look at it in a different or more empowering way, then great. If not, then at least it clearly effects how we live our life, and how happy we are (while we're stuck living in this meat-suit) for the better. And that seems pretty important to me. Even if the particular world view espoused is later updated, or changed. If a paradigm becomes obsolete, then you move on. That doesn't change the fact that the old paradigm was useful for a time, and helped you get to a new and hopefully better one. And in that way, the old paradigm need not be a time to regret. But rather a time to let go of and move on in light of a new way of understanding your place in existence.
