I hate to do this, but it's necessary. I think one amazon.com reviewer says it best: "If you only see one con-job dressed up as scientific documentary this year, make it this one." Try this Popular Science article for a quick explanation of why this movie is bunk.

From the Popular Science article: "The real shame with this film is that it plays on people’s fascination with science while distorting and misrepresenting that science." Watch the movie, sure, but change

"Fond of Quantum Physics?" to
"Fond of Bastardizations of Quantum Physics?" and change

proven by science to
"proven" by "science".

Lol, ok. So, I enjoy being conned and fascinated by things I have absolutely no knowledge of. In light of your comments, this is how I will recommend this movie from now on: If you know very little about quantum physics and would like the very little you know to be confused and completely mislead while keeping you entertained and in awe, watch What The Bleep Do We Know?!
