Considered going to the local indy theatre but didn't. Now considering renting today, but I'm a little nervous it may be a little to New Agey. Opinions?

k, to sum it up the best I can, some highlights...(almost finished watching it, bout 20 min left)
Peptides (I think that's what they called the lil emotional boogers) performing Robert Palmer's - Addicted to Love.. yeah.. haha
LOTS of 80's music = pwn
Other good new age music too..
Cool effects in the beginning..
LOTS of discussions about our emotional peptides, neuron activity, how we view ourselves, our addictions, the way we control our lives day in and out, how that effects others around us, etc etc.. Pretty interesting.
LESS discussions about what I really wanted to hear about, parallel realities and time. They only talked the first half or less about those.. Kinda disappointed me there
Overall... eh.. it was ok, just too much discussion about emotions..
Oh yeah... people dancing to TECHNO POLKA! HAHA.. yeah that was special

EEE!! quoting webster!!
jk man.
yeah i know what new age music is, i get tired of the sitars too.
well, if that movie was dissapointing, go and rent Mindwalk, its wicked cool, its filmed on location at the island of St Michaels in france (i think thats what its called) , when the tide comes in it totally surrounds the island.
Its a movie, not a spiritual documentary or infomovie
it discusses relativity and explanations of physics behind clocks all the way down to relations more microscopic than the atom or its electrons. Its like having an hour long epiphany, but its set in france with american and british (i think) characters that grow and change over the course of the movie, and even the physicist herself crawls out of her shell and joins the rest of the world again.
and its a story far outside religion, where emotions are only depicted with the turmoils of the characters in the story, rather than it being a subjective force driving the whole film.
once the movie gets to the american getting to france, it starts cutting the bull and getting to physics. Im gonna buy the damn DVD.

I went ahead and rented it, and I'm in agreement with Switch. It did break down into some blather, but the first part was a decent layman's perspective of quantum physics. QP has long been compared to some older religions, Budhism mostly. I might consider showing it in one of my freshman physics classes, but it would prolly be more appropriate in a philosphy course.

hey, rent mindwalk, its ALL quantum physics
you think the movie is gonna be all about this bummed out guy and his quantum physicist ex and a politician ... nah
its really friggin stimulating
