    science or sectarian mumbo jumbo? let me decide.

    This so-called documentary is based om the teachings of a woman channeling the spirit of an Atlantis-god-warrior called Ramtha, just like the last one. The so-called 'scientists' come from impressing quantum-physics institutions like the swami-Ami-university-of-love-harmony-and-making-it-up-as-you-go-along and the likes, or just Ramtha-sect followers.(the one scientist that was in the last film screamed bloody murder when he saw the finished product and in what way they manipulated his four hours of interview) The funding of the film too is taken care of by the Ramtha sect.

    This does not make this a bad film per sé. It is shot wonderfully, and it asks some fun questions, and of course the followers of Ramtha-the god-warrior should be free to voice their opinions in whatever way thay see fit. It would just be more gentlemanly of them to state their religious point of view at the start of the movie, as I have met many people who believe that the film depicts a scientific viewpoint and convince others in their new found enthusiasm that the most interesting characteristic of quantum dynamics is that quantum-particles have a power to grant wishes for all happy suburbanites, if you only believe ! It wasn't boring at all, but it was damn annoying afterwards listening to the goateed morons I watched it with, who felt not only empowered and enlightened, but smug too, now that their always smouldering new-age-Oprah belief in their own uniqueness and soul has a pseudo-scientific base...

    Thought Provoking

    This movie is a blend of new age thinking and what we know about quantum physics. This is basically an expanded version of the previous "What the Bleep?" movie but it provides a lot more depth.

    The most compelling aspect of this movie is not the specific examples they use, but the overall message that we create our own reality, we shape our own reality and we change reality.

    This movie uses both sound and questionable science to convey it's message. It is up to the user to come to their own conclusion about the implications.

    This movie is worthwhile for the simple fact it makes you think. It could be classified as it's own genre in that it blends the format of documentary and drama yet it is not a true example of either. You would not watch this for the drama, and the science is based on theory and speculation more so than hard fact.

    The added portions in this 2006 release make it better than the original. The editing is not as smooth, but the extra information allows you walk around with more things to ponder afterward.

    Not as fascinating as the original, but still interesting...

    This sequel to the first film about quantum physics is full of fascinating tidbits but lacks the cohesive feeling of the original "What the Bleep" film.

    Watching "Down the Rabbit Hole" feels a bit like reading the footnotes to the first film. Some parts of the film are directly lifted from the first film and give the sense of reading a kind of textbook summary/reminder of previously covered theories to contextualize some of the new ideas discussed. In other cases, identical footage is used to illustrate slightly different ideas.

    There is also much new footage and discussion, much of it apparently footage that was cut from the first film. There is definitely more emphasis on the religio-spiritual aspects/impacts of quantum theory, especially around the idea that we are all interconnected in a vast web of energy. This is simply one aspect of the world of quantum physics whether it proves/disproves one's personal religious/spiritual vision or not. (In other words, disagreeing personally with some of the ideas in "Down the Rabbit Hole" doesn't make it a bad film although it's lack of cohesion might.) An interesting continuation but definitely not as compelling as the first film.

    Amazing, requires some amount of openness and concentration to understand - but worth it!

    This movie is a great combination of various things, a group of people's hard work of putting it together in an attempt to explain our world (as we know it and beyond), its existence & spirituality, in a scientific way. Many viewers may find it difficult to understand unless they are ready for it.

    I have also seen an extended version and its extensively powerful...very nice way to simplify the concept as much as possible.

    Great one!!!

    Everyone involved has done a great job and I would say its a breakthrough film in combining various known and unknown ideas and facts in a convincing way...appreciate your work guys!

    Interesting movie

    I actually liked this movie very much, even though there are lots of things to be disliked. The first time I saw it, I thought that it was jaw-dropping. Then after that I researched some of the claims and unfortunately it seems that some of the things presented as truth are not true at all. And yes, I'm also very cautious with people who claim that they are a medium and there is one medium in this film...

    But next to that there are a lot of interesting things said in this film by some very intelligent people. So my advise is to not take everything too seriously and to draw your own conclusions about the things said in this film. Don't let the false claims and the medium distract you from the interesting stuff this movie has to offer.
