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!

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.

I read one review here and we almost didn't keep watching. Definitely a low budget film. But except for the apartment scenes, you don't feel it so much. Glad I read more reviews and kept watching. It was much better than the first 5 review. Enjoyable Enough and interesting for sure. Don't let the first 15 minutes or so stop you, or the reviews that are below a 7 here. There is a reason the average is 7.

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.
