After reading all the reviews I was really hyped about seeing the movie. So many people had such strong reactions to it that I thought that I would be strongly affected by it one way or the other. I wasn't. Let me preface any further comments by adding that much of my life has been directly spent on attempting to learn about the nature of absolute reality... I have degrees in physics, philosophy and advanced degrees in mathematics and psychology and have read countless books on spirituality and metaphysics (as well as being a member of the school of metaphysics for over a year - if you really want to learning about the nature of Truth check out that group).
As many critics have already pointed out the revelations of the film are not new and the film makes several blunders especially in assumming what exists at the quantum (micro- unseen - theoretical) level of reality applies directly to the macro (system - seen) level of reality. The plot line is weak and yet despite it's flaws the movie holds itself together through it's adherence to the truth that thought is cause, we create our own reality and are slaves to our habitual emotions yet paradoxically we are free to be any one of an infinite set of possibilities. This movie is a step forward in the direction of responsibility and a step away from victim consciousness. If nothing else, movies like this one will hopefully inspire you (even if you think it's a bad movie then make a better one!) - the truth is everywhere - learn to quiet the monkey mind, hold to the truth that you know is real, walk through the madness, and come back and tell the world what IS.
