In the end, I felt cheated, to see that, this is nothing more than a propaganda for some new-age occult religious movement, based totally on misrepresented scientific principles. I can only imagine that, the physicists and doctors, at least those who were reputable, were somewhat deceived when they signed in for the interviews. (Okay, one was a priest-turned-physicist, and a couple of them got their degrees at on-line universities).
I really wonder how they get a line-up of all these doctors and professors. I wonder if the meditation is doing something to my DVD player. When I heard something about some Atlantic warrior God. I started skipping sections after sitting for about an hour. when they talked about how meditation could influence electronics and crystal growth, and how basketballs can be at one place and everywhere (may work as an example, but not in reality). The first 30 minutes or so was a barrage of ideas that may or may not have to do with quantum physics or to each other. 2) It is *not* an attempt of some obscure occult movement trying to link the "spiritual" and the "physical" worlds. Having no prior knowledge about the "what the bleep" series, I picked up this film with the following two assumptions: 1) It is an in-depth exposition of quantum mechanic principles and how it relates to everyday life.
But if you're already into this kind of stuff I suppose I could recommend it: chances are you will feel pretty good about yourself after-wards. All-in-all this sequel left me feeling only lectured, not entertained. This is done in such a chaotic manner that the only entanglement that results will be your own trying to make a coherent picture of it all.
The 'proof' for this relies on extrapolations of solid scientific facts far beyond the borders where they can be applied with any degree of dignity, quasi-scientific claims for which no support is presented whatsoever, and self-important statements by expert with impressive but meaningless CV's. As such I would have given it another star or two, *but* for the effort that has gone into convincing the viewer that it is actually *we* who are living in a fantasy instead. Alas, I can't say the same is true for the sequel: it further builds on the concepts that were already outlined in #1, which brings us well within the realm where fairy tales and other fantasies dwell. It was refreshing and offered an interesting view on reality that was presented in an entertaining way. Although it claimed a great deal more than should be accepted by any reasonably thinking person, I quite liked the first BLEEP movie.
