Movie Reviews of What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (QUANTUM Three-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Sex and Quantum Physics Unite before Destruction!
Summary: 1 Stars
What a hugely disappointing film this was. After seeing the previews and several of the clips, I was ready to see the world from a new perspective and perhaps build some insight into the world of quantum physics. After watching the entire film, I discovered that loonies and crackpots speak as if they rule this world because of the knowledge that they contain. Instead of giving us leading people to guide us through this uncharted world of quantum physics, the directors of this documentary used a chiropractor and a woman named Ramtha along with a couple other people that seemed crazier and crazier as the film progressed. Now, I want to make it clear that these subjects were actually crazy, not because of the topic they were discussing, but because of the way they spoke about it. I think this is what lead to the incoherent mess of the film.
Our topics jumped from place to place, hardly spending enough time on any one to fully grasp the intentions of the film. The only subject that our guides seemed most excited about was the entire "sex-capade" at the wedding. Suddenly, the tone of the lecture changed and this NR rated film suddenly went to PG-13 as if the directors wanted to reach a younger audience. The choice of computer graphics and song had nobody in my theater laughing, in fact some left early. It just didn't seem to fit with what we were learning earlier. This was a complete 180 from the early part of the film, and it did not brood well. Marlee Matlin didn't even seem comfortable with what she was doing on screen. Suddenly, the party is over and we are left with a conversation about God. This was not what a film about science needed. It was as if we had gone from bad to even worse. I felt the directors were trying to suddenly justify their reasoning for the ill-fated wedding scene prior. Either way, it bombed and ended up blowing this film into a million pieces.
In the mess of all this film, there were one or two good points that left you with something to ponder, like the Indians and not being able to see Columbus' ships for the first time. The idea behind the path of choices as well as the effect of emotion on water was a very interesting study, but these were very small elements to a very large destructive picture. For me this film mainly did not work because the people trying to educate us about quantum physics were not trying to explain it to us in a entertaining way, they were literally speaking over us forcing me, as well as others in the audience, to remember life back in Physics 101 and the quality of naps. I continually felt that after leaving the theater there would be people meeting me at the door asking me if I would like to drink their punch. These guides were not talking to me about quantum physics, but instead talking above me. They knew they were better, and the arrogance shined through the silver screen. I blame the directors for their choices because a better choice could have altered the mood of the film altogether.
Overall, I was very misinformed and uneducated after I left this theater. The film was a bomb and I am constantly surprised by how much it has grossed already (though it has been playing for just about a year). The structure of the film coupled with the annoying "specialists" only helped debunk the whole premise. The non-documentary aspect of this film also failed, constantly having me wonder why Marlee Matlin was chosen to do this project. Nothing seemed to work in this film except for the ability to cause me a massive headache. For those hoping for a purely scientific film, I think you will be very disappointed. This film proves that sex and science (if not properly introduced) do not match. What the #$*! Do We Know? tried to incorporate too much into too little of a space. The topics were too broad and the direction was poor. Skip this one at all cost.
Grade: * out of *****
