I was told by a friend to watch this film. But little did i know how much it would upset us. We were a party of three. One Christian and two non- religious. And i recall the my one Christian friend losing his grip on reality when the first part took up the part about God. But when it neared it ending. We were all sitting with our computers on our laps trying to fact check every piece of information. It ended being one of the films I have thought the most about. Would recommend. But at parts it seems to fall apart, and some of the facts served as truth ended up not being as true as stated. All in all 8/10. And I hope that all of you will get the same feeling of disbelief in our world and system, because a dose of healthy skepticism can take you far.

"Zeitgiest" is one of the most popular movies ever made that wasn't released directly to theaters. It's even more rare for a documentary to be that popular. While I admit that it's well done for the most part, I simply can not recommend it because of the ridiculous things said about the September 11th attacks. Even the first segment has inaccuracies. It claims that the Bible says that Jesus was born on December 25th and was visited by three kings. The Bible does not say or even imply that it was December 25th and it doesn't even say there were exactly three wise men or that they were kings. It also claims that Jesus' story was stolen from the Egyptian figure Horus. There is no evidence that says Horus was born of a virgin, had 12 apostles, or rose from the dead.These same claims were made in Bill Maher's movie "Religulous", which may have been where he got his facts from. Of course, this film also promotes 911 conspiracy theories, which Maher had to kick people out of his studio for believing in, unlike religion. Maybe that's the reason he's friends with Jesse Ventura. Every 911 conspiracy theory has been disproven. The old arguments are that the towers were taken down by controlled demolitions because it matches the damage that controlled demolitions take on. In reality, a building that is collapsing for any reason is going to collapse like that because that's just how buildings work. Look onto the RationalWiki for a firm debunking of everything said. There is no bringing up the obvious fact of where the extension cords were placed for an actual controlled demolition.I miss the narrator's voice in the second part for how nice it is. I guess the third part is technically the best, as it's probably the most truthful. It does still seem to promote conspiracy theories, which we have no place for in modern times. Being devastated by Donald Trump winning the election, I expect to see more of this stuff. He is known for his wacky conspiracy theories. Please don't let us become like him. I still give this movie credit for being well shot and being insightful. I feel bad for not liking something with such a high rating. I simply can not support anything that claims religion is stupid but then goes on to support conspiracy theories. Again, the whole "jet fuel can't melt steel" has been debunked by an actual metal smith. The steel didn't melt. It just bent. To quote him, "Your argument is invalid. Get over it. Find a job". **1/2

I used to love this movie. I thought it was so interesting. Then I found out that a lot of the stuff we are told are lies. Lies, half truths and fantasy. I am then talking about the parts about religion. Those are the parts I know to not be true (some of them), the rest I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I am not religious at all, I think religion should be banned, but the way to open peoples eyes about religion, is not by lying!Other than that, the movie is highly entertaining, and a lot of it is true. (I hope) But just keep in mind, that some of the stuff presented as facts, actually are fiction. Important to know that.More I do no have to say.

As my daughter, who is just now finding out who she is at 31, called us with the breathless news that this movie would give us a serious insight into the world which we don't possess, my wife and I honored her request that we view it.I felt as though I needed to take a long hot shower after being pelted with the choppy and disconnected lunacy of this two hour epistle to conspiracy. There are numerous examples from other reviewers of the errors and mischaracterized rhetoric in this movie, so I'll not belabor them here. I very carefully told my daughter the next day, "Do your own research from a library, not the internet, and see how many of the claims in this movie you can confirm, then call me back." It makes me weep that the daughter I love is blinded by this propaganda.
