Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The unlikeliest cult hit of 2004 was What the (Bleep) Do We Know?, a lecture on mysticism and science mixed into a sort-of narrative. Marlee Matlin stars in the dramatic thread, about a sourpuss photographer who begins to question her perceptions. Interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory about... well, actually, it sounds a lot like the Power of Positive Thinking, when you get down to it. Talking heads (not identified until film's end) include JZ Knight, who appears in the movie channeling Ramtha, the ancient sage she claims communicates through her (other speakers are also associated with Knight's organization). What she says actually makes pretty good common sense--Ramtha's wiggier notions are not included--and would be easy to accept were it not being credited to a 35,000-year-old mystic from Atlantis. --Robert Horton
Description:
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn?t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn?t reality at all!

Rating:  - Terrible, whether you're new or not to this stuff.
This "movie" is terrible. I realise it wasn't made as a real movie and more of a quasi-docudrama type thing, but the "docu" and "drama" are both awful. There's some good scientists who have some great thoughts about quantum reality, but while watching this I felt like without having read numerous books on the subject, I would hardly have known what they were talking about. And, since I _am_ well educated on this topic, I felt like this movie added nothing.
It's geared towards newcomers to the topic, but it fails. Look around on Amazon for highly rated intro-to-quantum-theory books if you're interested in the subject, don't buy this.
This had potential, but it's just horribly flawed by bad acting, not deciding if it wants to be a collection of interviews or a noncoherent storyline, virtually no art direction, and inadequately presented information.

The best review of this video is this: once i watched it the first time i ordered two more video's so i can circulate them amongst my friends.

Rating: - Hey, I'm all for positive thinking, but...
...this is a film reel can full of tripe.
Some of these "scientists" think we are always in the process of making our own little universes. Tell that to the millions of children starving to death in Africa: seems they have the ability to make their own little hell on Earth. Just think positive little one, you'll soon be eating gourmet food and all the caviar you can stand. Then you can run and skip around in your pretty little dress or even fly if you want to. Want to walk on water?
I would love to see any of these "scientists" with a really bad tooth ache. I would love to be a fly on the wall. I'm sure some of them would be saying, 'Come on body you have all the blueprints to make me a new tooth -- you can do it body -- you can do it.
Don't even accept this as a free gift, it is most disturbing. Very deluded and an unfortunate waste of valuable brain-power. (If you must you may be able to borrow it from a library).
P.S. I have no religious affiliation, that is not my issue. I am life-long student of science.
Rating:  - jumbled
The underlying message of the movie was amazing. The movie itself seems to try to be too many things. The halfway developed story of the photographer has no relationship to the brilliant scientists. The animated sequence of human cells addicted to certain emotions seems superimposed on the story in a careless way. Basically, all the seams, stitches and bolts are showing. This is unfortunate because the interviews with the scientists really elucidate the staggering importance and implications of quantum physics in very easy-to-understand language. The animation of the cells, neurons and hypothalamus also makes things clear. If nothing else, see it for the subway scene with the Japanese Water Experiment. That was a paradigm shift in and of itself!!! The movie as a whole is just put together poorly.
Rating: - This has got to be a joke..... Right?
I just have to say that this is my very first review on Amazon.
After reading reviews on this movie I chose not to buy it but bought "You can Heal Your Life" instead. However I was still curious about "what the bleep". I found it on a website where I could view it for free. Thank God 'cause I would have been pissed with a capital P had I paid $$ to buy it. I can't believe this. I would NOT recommend this movie ever. Rent it for $3-4 bucks and save yourself the agitation of feeling jipped.
What I can say is that the most interesting part is when the scientists/experts give their explanations and references of how our minds create our envioronment and how it effects our bodies but it seems to be about 25% of the movie. The rest is unnecessary elongated filming that is supposed to describe/support the experts views. All it is doing is filling up space between experts speaking to make it seem like a full length movie. It didn't seem to match and flow with the experts; not as far as content but presentation.
As Siskel & Ebert would say " THUMBS DOWN"
