According to the article below; the sole purpose of this movie was to scam the Iowa film board. Iowa gave among the most generous tax incentives to have movies made in the state. This one certainly didn't help anyone in Iowa. The people involved were prosecuted.The site is io9.com The article is the biggest science fiction movie hoaxes and scams of all time. I only watched a few minutes of this movie then checked out the reviews. The article from IO9.com explained why someone would even bother to make this.Don't waste any time on this.

I saw the trailer for this movie on Apple Trailers a little over a year ago. I thought the minute compilation of this movie looked great, thrilling. The concept of a man dealing with a loss of his family intrigued me, since movies like The Weatherman and Reign Over Me were favorites of mine. Today, I saw it finally. However, there's something that the film doesn't feel to accomplish. Maybe its the lack of a big name lead, or no clear message that the film tries to deliver. The emotional settings shots are there, but they don't bring any substantial emotions from the viewer, so it ultimately fails as a character study or as a mood piece. The film is too average, and the hard to achieve rank of an emotional journey sans strong plot, as directors like Sofia Coppola have expertly done before, is unattainable without anything spectacular in the film. It's not the slowest movie I've seen, and it's not the worst. The film is pretty well produced, as it doesn't scream low budget at any particular point. The problems were that I couldn't connect with the emotions of the lead, the side story was well acted but also not very investing, there wasn't enough action or sciencey bits to otherwise fill my interests. I wouldn't say that the film contributed anything new to me. The best part was the cinematography, but the content of the shots was not striking enough to leave any lasting impressions.

I stayed with the movie waiting for a glimpse of real to life theory. I was under the impression , based on the beginning of the movie, that this would bring to life theories that Einstein had with the after life. This movie missed it completely making it a total let down of the magic of SciFi movies. I had to keep adjusting the volume, this always makes me want to slap whoever is in charge of the sound track. You cant hear whispers and the music was way over the top in dB. I as well, walk out of theater when that happens and always get a refund. Very difficult to understand exactly what was happening when he turns on the "infinite-energy machine" Why is it called an infinite-energy machine in the review? This was not a movie about green energy but quantum physics... more confusion. Wait, there is more..."a higher level of consciousness?" Change the title to "Fruit Salad Science"

This had the potential to be a really good and thought-provoking indie film and then they had to go ruin it by beating everyone over the head with the pro-life message at the end. It was very disingenuous to build up the tension in the story and in the characters only to solve everything with a "don't have an abortion, babies are awesome" message at the end. That made the movie instantaneously preachy and left me, at least, feeling very cheated. I went in expecting a story and movie that was somewhat of a mix of "white noise" and "solaris" and instead got a really long commercial against abortions.other than the one scene that singularly destroyed the whole movie, the scientist is well acted and shot -- if you count out the main character's eye twitch, which was way overused.
