Editorial Reviews:

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn?t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn?t reality at all!

Summary: "Know"?
Comment: The word "Know" implies knowledge and this movie is about irrational belief, not knowledge. Science and reason are used to support religious ideas in the form of New Age only where they can be supportive. The lines of reasoning that conflict with the theology are ignored. The result is a slick series of nonsensical connections.

Summary: Pretentious charlatans posing as scientists!
Comment: This movie, presented as a documentary, is not based on truth. My spouse, a physicist, noted some claims that were untrue early into the program. I noted the Columbus claim was completely fabricated, and also untrue (Native Americans actually came out to greet Columbus' ships; it has been historically documented). There were no names or affiliations listed for the "experts", I became suspicious, because that is highly unusual for a documentary. I next noted a fake accent/affect by some bleach-blonde that seemed to fancy herself as an "alien" or such, so I looked up the movie in Wikipedia. The three directors are students of Ramtha...a metaphysical cult. It is in fact, a propanganda piece with non-experts or quacks posing as experts. The only academically affiliated physicist on the movie was furious that his contributions were so heavily edited, as to completely distort his comments. He does not at all agree with the assertions in this "movie". Save your money, buy a great NOVA piece or anything but this garbage. BTW, the bleach-blonde woman's occupation listing is a "channeller" of Ramtha, which explains the fake accent and complete weirdness. Bleachy alien woman claims Ramtha appeared to her in the kitchen of her Tacoma, Washington mobile home in the 1980s---now she is a full cult member. Indeed, she was actually "channelling Ramtha" IN THIS PIECE!!! CREEPY WEIRD! A bunch of charlatans...pure, utter garbage. Too bad the Columbia U. physicist got caught up in this trash. I might just burn my copy so I'll feel slightly better.

Summary: What the Bleep Do We Know?
Comment: What the Bleep Do We Know is an enjoyable film but scarcely a place to search for truth and deep insights about the mind-body relationship. The several experts who participated in the movie occasionally had some very interesting things to say and questions to ask. However, the film was edited to present their comments out of context, and then abandoned each one before they could be examined critically.

This movie was too "new age" and somewhat misleading about the academic or practical backgrounds of some of their contributing experts. While I recognized several of these folks from other fine science films, one was a very charming and attractive lady with a strange accent who turned out to be a new age channeler.

This film is recommended strictly for entertainment and possible discussion. I also suggest seeing it without high expectations, but if you get something positive out of the experience, good for you.

Summary: Interesting film
Comment: I liked the film "What The Bleep Do We Know!. I thought it could have been a little more forthcoming. Marlee Matlin did a great job. The concept of channeling brought out some interesting aspects. If you're looking to understand the supernatural I suggest you read a book entitled , "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone" by John H. Eagan you really get a sense of who God is, what He wants us to do now, and what we'll really do in the afterlife.

Summary: When Pseudoscience passes as real science
Comment: I don't have much to say in this review, as some of the others here have already summarized the problems with this movie so well.

Anyhow, the simple fact that these scientific figures are willing to sit along side "Ramtha," a channeled Antlantian warrior, takes any credibility the film may have had.
There is little scientific evidence for Atlantis, and it is widely considered no more than a parable, with the other possibility being Crete and the Minoans. The concept of channeling is completely ridiculous and contradictory to science. Hell, even the pseudoscience in this film can't account for channeling.

Science is also misrepresented completely in the film. The quantum physics principles in the film are not accepted as fact; in deed they are little more than hypothesis which remain to be sufficiently tested. Yet, they are treated as fact or in the least accepted theory.

Do yourself a favor, instead of this movie, go buy yourself a book on real science and actually learn something valuable.
