Einstein's God Model

Although full of sub par acting Einstein's God Model addresses the question of what happens after we die in a way I have never seen before. Its use of complex ideas such as String theory, M-theory and the God Model made this a fascinating watch. This film puts these complex ideas into words everyone can understand and does a great job of keeping you on your toes. It will definitely make you think!

"Einstein's God Model" is a terrifically conceived and shrewdly executed piece of sci-fi storytelling, applying theory from science's greatest historical figures to our existential quest for proof of consciousness beyond our earthly lives. This is a film that very admirably and consistently doses the brain with a full buffet of cranial course load -- Edison and Tesla join Einstein not only in the film's credits scroll (nice touch), but in the storytelling's pursuit of the notion that we may live on post-mortem in the soul's more modernized reclassification as an enduring electromagnetic field. Sold!

Brayden (Aaron Graham) is a young anesthesiologist. His fiancé has recently passed. Alone in his grief, he yearns for a metaphysical reunion, and attempts to actualize it by seeking out a physicist pursuing contact with the dead. It turns out that the physicist, too, has shuffled off this mortal coil, but his widow gifts Brayden a laboratory contraption built by the great Thomas Edison himself, who was once in similarly hot pursuit of these same epiphanies.

For the existentialist living for that final moment when life gives way to the ultimate answers, "Einstein's God Model" is pure exploratory bliss. The fascinating abundance of science seamlessly woven into its elite storytelling doesn't just adequately acquit itself; it's indeed the film's key strength, evoking contemplation at the highest levels while giving way to some thoroughly riveting crescendos. "Einstein's God Model" comes heavily recommended, and particularly for those in constant query of whatever the beyond may (or may not) look like. - (Was this review of use to you?

I would like to start this with a few credentials I am an ex-Paramedic and current bachelors or Physics / Chemistry student. This movie is very interesting. No, the effects are not top notch nor is the acting. However, the movie does a fantastic job at mixing factual knowledge we know about particle physics (of which they over used the word "quantum" like all Hollywood movies) and theoretical physics.

*** It is important to note string theory and quantum entanglement are not proven to be factual entirely. ***

But to even attempt the subject and come up with a film that makes sense to most viewers takes extreme talent. No easy task. I'm curious where the directors / producers obtained their props. The ET tubes, propofol, magnetic field sims, micro transformers were all real (or at least so close to it I could tell no difference). Some of these things are very impossible to come by outside of an anesthesia related field.

Overall Im thoroughly impressed with the film.

Will likely watch it again, though I do not feel it fair that one requires 6+ years of difficult education to comprehend the premise well.

This indie film is just plain fun. Sure, it's amateurish, but...

It mentions some real ideas in physics (past and present) -- GUF theory; quantum theory; string theory; membranes; etc.

It includes some actual history about Thomas Edison.

It names some real physicists -- Einstein (obviously), Tesla, Bohr, etc. (check out the opening credits!)

The props (early electronic devices) look authentic.

One of the writers seems to have a medical background -- some nice details.

Given the film's limited budget, the special effects are pretty good.

The acting is good enough to carry the plot.

I would compare this movie favorably to the first "Flatliners" film (I haven't seen the recent remake).

Watch it and judge for yourself.

The premise attracted me to the movie, and kept me watching despite it's many issues. I tried to set aside the poor acting and dialog in hopes that the plot would develop into something more substantial - but it never did. The story line was thin with the same canned character types you have seen countless times before. As with all too many Sci- Fis, a clever concept was wasted and leaves you wondering what could have been done with it under different circumstances. As far as the production - it mostly had an amateurish feel. There appeared to be issues with the sound editing. That could possibly have been related to the streaming version I viewed. But I noticed several instances where the dialog seemed to be spliced together from different takes causing it to vary in volume from line to line. On the positive side, the special effects and imagery were executed fairly well considering the low production budget.
