Truly Dreadful Film

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" is a documentary from over 10 years ago that runs for almost 2 hours and tries to make an impact with its messages about religion, life and general well-being. However, it all feels very awkward from start to finish and I never felt the message that the movie was trying to deliver us. Well.. actually there is a lot of acting in this film, so you could only call it a documentary to some extent. For example, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin appears here, but the acting wasn't either on a level where I would say that I was impressed. But you cannot really blame the actors as the script was just too weak and also not full enough of memorable content for such a runtime. The ratings here on IMDb and on critics websites are accurate I would say. it is not a complete failure, but also not a good movie by any means. Overall, I give it a thumbs down.

This movie is presented to us as being a scientific documentary but the truth is this is just full of pseudoscientific nonsense, fruit of the imagination of the interviewees.Carl Sagan once said "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".This movie makes lots of claims and forgets the evidence! The only thing that the movie has in large quantities is: Quote mining, Misrepresentations of science, Unfunded assertions, Speculations, Appeals to emotion, Appeals to faith, Appeals to ridicule, Arguments by Vehemence, Arguments from authority, Factual errors, Half-truths, Lies, Red Herrings, Non-sequiturs, Strawman fallacies... and so on.Just like the movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" (2008), this film doesn't worth our time to see it.

As for me, this is a really good documentary and as some negative reviews pointed out skeptically, it DID leave a positive impact on me. But that was not the only thing that it did as they also said. I come from India where science and spiritualism have been deep rooted and our mythological Gods have long performed miraculous acts which were once frowned upon as only myths. We have hundreds and hundreds of tales describing the miracles that the old sages performed by meditating for long spans of time and being gifted to do particular things. Today, the world is slowly knowing the power of Yoga and Pranayama for improving life and health in general. We here strongly believe in the power of thoughts and the importance of subconscious and its connection to the physical world. I believe that we know very less about our existence and this documentary did quite a good job in giving a new perspective. Yes there was no factual data that it provided or there were no surveys conducted to prove the notion, but why do we always need quantitative proof for getting a point proved. and how many of us are really expert enough to comment. The only flip side of the documentary is however too much information to think over. If you are a general movie watcher, this is not an entertainer but a work put together by scholars as to what they think reality is. It is slow and methodical. It is for those who want to know and think things that are not part of our everyday table conversations. It gives us less information and more "to do" and I guess thats what has aroused all the skeptics about its credibility. With all due respects of course, it is just a matter of their choice whether to believe on the power of our minds and the extent to which it can be stretched.

As a fictional Sci Fi film this movie is neat but as a documentary it is more a theological presentation not Physics. The part where this shows this to the viewer is at the end when they introduce those that they interview. Most are educated people of science then you meet the blond woman in with the odd accent. "Ramtha" Master Teacher – Ramtha School of Enlightenment Channeled by JZ Knight. WTF? So I looked tat up and found
.a main authority for the information being presented, (in the film WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?) is a 35,000 year old warrior spirit from Atlantis, being channeled by this Tacoma housewife turned... whatever
