What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? Trailers

Amanda is a divorced woman who makes a living as a photographer. During the Fall of the year Amanda begins to see the world in new and different ways when she begins to question her role in life, her relationships with her career and men and what it all means. As the layers to her everyday experiences fall away insertions in the story with scientists, and philosophers and religious leaders impart information directly to an off-screen interviewer about academic issues, and Amanda begins to understand the basis to the quantum world beneath. During her epiphany as she considers the Great Questions raised by the host of inserted thinkers, she slowly comprehends the various inspirations and begins to see the world in a new way.

Truly garbage. I am not sure what else to write. Might as well have asked a frog what it thought about cosmology, and passed the resultant ribbits off as scientific fact. I cannot understand how anyone - however dim or impressionable - found this in any way interesting or believable.

While some special effects are well-done, even creative, others are cheesy and distracting – and repetitive. The "acting" is mediocre – likely due to poor direction, full of flaws. The "story" is even worse – actually a melange of claims attempting to build some kind of theory on an "alternative reality" based on sketchy scientific "facts" (non- accredited and without references) and the authors' own "alternative facts". Intriguing, for the many minutes of never getting to the point – until "scientist" (one has to assume) claim one can create one's own "reality". So, one could walk on water, for example, if one just believe it possible. The problem is that they present it as "truth". They should invested their ideas and efforts in some sci-fi thriller. They could have come out with something entertaining or at least interesting – this was neither.

Horrible. It's pseudo science of the worst kind, sold as actual science.It pretends to ask questions, but really just want to sell it's awful, awful, awful misinformation. It was made to shove a new age pseudo scientific agenda. It is pure awfulness. Imagine eating a hamburger which you think will be yummy, but ends up being served with stale bread, old still frozen meat, wrapped in tin foil that gets into your mouth and hurts your throat, and gives you a stomach bug. That is this so called "documentary" that actually doesn't document anything but made up nonsense.This will seriously damage your brain. Don't see it.

The use of the word "observer" in quantum mechanics is as misused as the word "particle." The actual physics term "observer" was always meant to mean the macroscopic object which interacted with a quantum object. In the movie however, the characters end up espousing a necessary human consciousness to quantum mechanics. The movie goes further than asserting that human consciousness is necessary to cause quantum states to be defined, but to build up the assertion that human consciousness somehow has actual control over quantum mechanics and therefore over reality itself. The irony in the movie comes when the character who stated it was pure ego to fashion a god or gods in our own image later stated that our consciousness made us all gods because we controlled reality itself...a new level of ego entirely. In the end, many mystics and people who have not studied physics in depth (they did, I believe, have one misguided physics graduate student in the movie...everyone else was outside the field) have not uncovered the wrongness of this misinterpretation. They built a movie out of a misinterpretation of a word. It's full of information, but the lie underneath makes the very notion that I watched it (after being asked so many times if I'd ever seen it) make me feel like I wasted my money and time.
