What the Bleep do We Know!?
As fascinating as I expected it to be, What the Bleep…? will probably appeal most to Matrix fans, which makes me surprised not to have heard so much about it. For me, it confirms a lot of things I’ve thought about for a long, long time… and even explains this at one point, admitting that the ideas it concerns are easily mistaken for childish fantasy. It loses itself only once, in a strange dancing sequence that goes on a little too long. It looks and sounds like an infomercial, too, which might put off some people, but I think this format works perfectly. It just depends on how much you want your mind blown, I guess. I think just about anyone would get a kick out of this movie.

I’m first to admit I have no clue of the science that these documentaries discuss, except that I hear from the IMDb message boards (that reliable font of knowledge) that it’s all pretty shaky – the most scientific things I’ve read since school are the works of Carl Sagan and that’s all I personally need. These movies take a similar approach to Sagan (though for some reason I think his baloney detection kit might go off the chart at some point), really just giving some kind of hope through babble that sort of makes sense.
