Einstein's God Model

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.

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.

An enjoyable indie ride with some interesting ideas about quantum physics and reality. Gets points for not dumbing down the science. Yes of course it feels indie and low budget in some places, but that's because it is indie and low budget. This should be kept in perspective when rating.

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!

It is typical of me, a common lame-brained normal person with an active interest in science and physics but no real mastery of it, to savor these sorts of theoretical science type movies, especially when they experiment with quantum physics.

"Quantum physics" is to me, the common lame-brained normal etc, pure magic. I attempted a while ago to learn just some of the basics and it completely overwhelmed me and erased what ever little bit of it I did understand. It is demonic spooky magic.

This movie thankfully does not go very dense into the quantum, much in the way "Primer" went very dense into the mechanical engineering, and relies heavily on dumbing down the concepts for the audience a bit.

Despite that, while I was able to get ahold of and gain a clear understanding of most, if not all of the concepts dealt with in the film, when they all come together as a whole, I was just left confused.

The film itself made me hesitant to approach, as it was very clearly low budget. I've enjoyed many low budget movies, but typically since the vast majority of movies are done in 24 frames per second, and the vast majority of live television (including news, reality TV, talk shows) are done in 30 fps, making them look just slightly "faster" than movies.

this film seemed to be shot in some uneven mix of 30 fps and something a bit faster, giving it a look somewhere between a talk show and a soap opera. Despite this, the acting was amazingly decent all throughout and the concepts kept my interest long enough to actually enjoy much of the movie. There are some encounters with cliché storytelling, such as the "Off-beat science guy" who is very nearly thrown out by the protagonist due to a lie, placing the entire concept of the film at risk.

Other reviews detail probably in greater detail and understanding what they attempted many times to explain using the term "membranes". The impression I got was something reminiscent of multiple universes, but somehow different, especially later on in the film when they make a startling slight revelation which changes the way they should approach it.

Up to the climax, I had a firm grasp of what was happening. When the business with the protagonist and the professor unfolded, I had a shaky grasp of what was happening. When it got to the "epilogue" portion, I completely lost it.
