Sound: Well mixed, utilizes a new agey techno sound track, decent sound effects. Noting really special here.
70/100 Technical: Competently shot, nice special effects, Lots of slow motion. Again nothing special here.
70/100 Character/Acting: For the dramatic parts there is not much of a reach for the actors and again nothing really bad either. They are just used for demonstration purposes only.
70/100 Narrative: A documentary format that uses interviews with "scientists" and exemplifies thier arguments with a dramatic companion story; very much like the health and science films we would see in school but with better production values. The arguments presented are not proven at all, they lack clarity and direction. No opposing point of view is shown. The companion dramatic story is really not needed because it does not help prove the arguments presented.
30/100 Did I enjoy it: Not really, though visually slick with some humor; the ideas presented are weak pseudoscience, are not qualified by the scientific method, ignore Aristotelian truths, and ignore sound theological truths. Ergo "cogito ergo sum" being the truth of reality then this film does not really exist.
40/100 Artistic Merit: None, other than some fair production skills.
40/100 Total score 53/100

Truly garbage. I am not sure what else to write. Might as well have asked a frog what it thought about cosmology, and passed the resultant ribbits off as scientific fact. I cannot understand how anyone - however dim or impressionable - found this in any way interesting or believable.

It's a bunch of nonsense. It's been a while since I watched it however I'm pretty sure they don't actually get anything right. Watch this as fiction. If you do that, you might enjoy it to a degree. Suspend your disbelief for the amount of time it runs for then amuse yourself by looking up all the claims they muddled up or fabricated. There's some clever presentation at times and it's a shame it is wasted on people who want to convert you to their way of thinking, their way of looking at facts, their way of defining reality.I'm all for people believing what they want, don't get me wrong. However, this feels like propaganda. Always look at all the available explanations and then make your choices. Don't be drawn in by a flashy show.I was 16 when I watched this and was unfortunately doing Class A drugs heavily and regularly. I think this 'documentary' had a lot to do with pushing the psychosis that was building into a Messiah complex. Although I definitely got something out of it, what I got was my own. My later debunking of this dribble didn't change that so I just give this the dubious honour of being a catalyst to my own science-based ideas and the philosophical ideas which haven't been answered yet. Be careful with it.

It's a real mess, which uses very bad part of science that cares for your purposes (economic).Mix a pseudo (former investigators) with a mystical invented (Disciples of Ramtha) and using an empty language lists a series of hoaxes scientifically untenable.In the end, what interests them is Aptar people to pay their courses initiation into the cult of Ramtha.It seems a dangerous film to serve a cult. Unfortunately I had the misfortune to attend a workshop that explained everything this and that made a final and concentration exercises. were be hyperventilation exercises!Film to avoid.
