For free-thinkers this movie is a must, if only because it defies categorization. The closest comparison might be a mixture of Donnie Darko & Moulin Rouge, with a little Neverending Story thrown in for good measure. But it's really in a league all it's own & as such must be taken with a grain of salt, not as gospel. It does get preachy, especially towards the end, and some of the new-age babble will leave non-free-thinkers highly uncomfortable at times. The movie walks the line between creativity & craziness, physics & psychics, psychology & psychosis. One minute we have "Dr. Quantum," an animated character rendered as a wise old blue-eyed man (read: God) encouraging the denizens of "flatland" (read: Earth) to break free of their 2D mindsets & recognize infinity, and the next we have an Irish priest saying that the idea of some aloof God lecturing from on high can go against ethical development. Some of the interviewees are geeky & down-to-earth, while others seem to have resolved-upon-observation to one fixed point of view from among the many potential points of view that they may hold when nobody's around. That said, the viewer should have a basic familiarity with some of the paradoxes, a.k.a. "weirdnesses" of the sub-atomic realm vis-a-vis the mechanical realm & "God" really does give a good visualization of the classic double-slit experiment near the movie's beginning, which for me was worth the price of admission anyway.
