The Scientist

From the first line in the film it's clear that its trying to give its audience a DEEP metaphysical cerebral experience. The film starts with the actors looking serious, and spooning out deep dialogue about life the world and everything. The kind of stuff stoned first year philosophy students belch out on a Saturday night. As the film progresses we see the actors looking even more serious. The climax of the film is every actor looking serious even the birds seem to have a deep introspective stare. Lets not forget the little whirring machine that appears to be at the heart of it all. I don't know what it does, its never explained, but its DEEP and its serious so that should enough also it spins and whirrs, and that is about as scientific as the film gets.

If you're looking for a film where actors stare a lot and look serious, no plot and incomprehensible dialogue, then you've found the perfect film. Personally for me watching paint dry seems like a roller coaster ride compared to watching this. Oh by the way its go nothing to do with science, the guy is a scientist but might as well be a Russian acrobat.

I have just watched possibly the dullest film ever made. It was one of those you persevere with thinking "It will get better any minute...wont it?" but it just doesn't. Nothing happens! I felt nothing for the lead character and apart from the lady next door, the rest of the cast were wooden. I actually stopped the movie half-way thru to re-read what it was about. It makes no sense. And a previous reviewer was absolutely right about the sound. I had to watch with the remote in my hand. You either cannot hear the whispering or the windows are rattling with the music. Being John Malkovic has been my all-time worst movie...until today.

The premise behind the machine the scientist creates revolves around contacting people once they are dead. The machine constructed is an exact replica of Eric Dollard's Cosmic Induction Generator (CIG) that is used to harness the free flowing electrical induction that is all around us, known as Zero point energy, Orgone, Ether, etc.

In the movie the wound co-axial coils can clearly be seen on either side of the machine, with an magnetic rotary wheel in the middle where the induction is centralized. Replacing the wheel with a vacuum tube would create a galaxy like formation within the tube if placed within the coils.

All of this information is just now becoming popularized with the emergence of Electric Universe cosmology, to include people like "SuspicousObervers", Dollard, Arron of Energetic forums, and many more who are shining the light of the flaws of relativity brought to us by the plagiarism of Einstein even though he was well meaning. This is even discussed in the film at the local bar segment.

But, as the movie goes on to show, some things are not meant to be known, nor tampered with.

Lovely weird. That's my description. Rarely have I seen a movie, that has no stunning grand visuals, yet relies so little on dialog. It is refreshing that there are still directors out there, who can tell a story in such an opaque way, that the audience is left with no choice but to think about it. That's very nice.

It's not 100% clear cut what's going on here. It would seem, that our main character is looking for a way to reconnect with his dead wife and daughter. Perhaps trying to bring their consciousness back or extend his own? I don't know, what the main character is planning exactly. It's never told, and this is part of then charm of the movie. This is where you have to start interpreting.

A previous reviewer spoke of an intend to create a machine to elevate consciousness to a higher level through manipulation of psychic energy. Well, that would be one interpretation. But I must remark, that at no point does the word psychic appear in this movie.

So, if a delicate subject is so delicately told, why only 5 stars out of 10? Well, the ending is predicable and must be considered the low point of the movie in quality of directing as well as acting. Sorry, but that should be changed, if possible. There are shining points through out, but not enough. That, and the storyline next door. It is totally ignored in the end. Maybe we are shown too much, since I actually started to care for her. But in the end, it was just segway into showing his final transformation.

In the end, Bill Sage's acting skills were what I applauded, wholeheartedly.

So, thank you for making this movie. Now take the subject to the next level, and give us something more breathtaking.

This movie must have been called kinder garden scientist , it is really so boring no target no acting no plot just guys and woman moving around and thinking about future past and whatever i really don't mind ,i m really "pissed" with people that writing the idmb reviews this for sure are guys payed by the director or whoever is related with this movie . They always write good things and you go to see a movie and touch down the movie finally sucks and you lost 2 hours from your life. The movie sucks as all the stuff of this movie sucks . Stay Away and if you really don't see the truth that this movie is really disgusting then go to a shrink to have a look on you, only mental problem people will see good things about this movie,also director go drawn your self, the DVD cover or poster is good "as always the smart trick we make a POSTER and we sell the crappy movie" the content is crap and sucks .Also for the smart guys that wrote about acting ... what acting? acting for what? you mean acting is freezing like idiot and put the digit into your mouth and thinking for 2 hours?? if this is acting sorry but i cant but to lough about it. . sub below 1/10
