Description
Proving once and for all that life can be an amazing journey—and a real trip—this all-new Quantum Edition release of What The Bleep!? Down the Rabbit Hole utilizes cutting-edge DVD technology to create a unique version of the film with every viewing! The possibilities are endless...and so is the fun! Academy Award® winner Marlee Matlin is Amanda, a photographer suddenly transported into a metaphysical world of quantum mechanics, odd science and mind-bending phenomena. Guided by the world’s top physicists, engineers, biologists and mystics, she tumbles down the rabbit hole and gets a first-hand look at the fascinating links between science and spirituality in our everyday lives. |

The unlikeliest cult hit of 2004 was What the (Bleep) Do We Know?, a lecture on mysticism and science mixed into a sort-of narrative. Marlee Matlin stars in the dramatic thread, about a sourpuss photographer who begins to question her perceptions. Interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory about... well, actually, it sounds a lot like the Power of Positive Thinking, when you get down to it. Talking heads (not identified until film's end) include JZ Knight, who appears in the movie channeling Ramtha, the ancient sage she claims communicates through her (other speakers are also associated with Knight's organization). What she says actually makes pretty good common sense--Ramtha's wiggier notions are not included--and would be easy to accept were it not being credited to a 35,000-year-old mystic from Atlantis. --Robert Horton |

Wonderfully informative and entertaining by L. Hayes  5 Stars
November 20, 2009
I had never seen the original 'What the Bleep' and ordered it and Down The Rabbit Hole at the same time, not understanding that this one include a greatly enhanced version of the original. Oh well that's fine. The movie itself if great and well worth the price by itself. But for me, I love the B sides filled with extensive interviews with all the scientists and guests. I appreciated the fact that not everyone shared the same opinions and to a great extent approached the subject from a variety of viewpoints. I like the variety the set provides. First the extended version of the original movie. Then the 2nd version allows you to select a wide variety ways to view it such as minimizing the drama portions and/or selecting 9 levels of depth in the interview portions, and then the B Sides with the great interview and in-depth explanations. The 2nd version that allows you to customize the way you want to view it, does, as the intro explains, depend on the quality of you DVD player. Mine is about a cheap as they come but in the worst case as it jumps around assembling the sequences you select there are sometimes a couple of seconds delay in the audio syncing up but that's very minor. I've watched the whole version a couple of times and the customizable version 3 or 4 time but I've watched the interviews 9 or 10 times and still enjoy them and each time I gain a little more understanding. Unless you're absolutely and completely closed minded and refuse to allow yourself to 'think' an original thought you'll love this movie.

Mind blowing by Happy Consumer (Texas, USA) 5 Stars
November 16, 2009
If you are into the mysterious as well as science, this movie is for you. It may take a couple of times watching the movie for the whole thing to sink in, but once the information is digested, it will open your eyes to possibilities, such that you may feel you were blind up to this point. The extended interviews are also great because the original movie does not have enough time to go into details.

Spirit & Science Interface by Linda E. Dewey MD (Michigan, USA) 5 Stars
November 15, 2009
This is actually my second copy - one disc from my first DVD set became damaged, therefore, I ordered it again. (THAT'S HOW MUCH I ENJOYED IT.)
I remember reading reviews the first time I ordered it. I was shocked and amazed by those who gave it low ratings, and would justify that rating by attacking and tearing apart minutiae details used to illustrate an idea being presented, (e.g., the story of the Native Americans being unable to see the Spanish ships approaching the coast, etc.) Some of the reviews included what seemed to be an attempt at character assassination of some of the spokespersons in the movie.
My first viewing was the theatrical release version - to which I reacted with awe and wonder. Then, I watched the hyper-extended version - MORE awe and wonder. It seemed as if most of the negative reviews were based mostly on the theatrical released version. Many of the criticisms revolved around an idea that the film was somehow attempting to indoctrinate its viewers to some religion or cult.
My opinion - nothing could be further from the truth about this film. If anything, many of the discussions and scenes presented actually were highly critical of traditional religions and the way they are typically practiced, pointing out how most religions fall very short of providing any real meaning or insight to its followers. There was ABSOLUTELY NO SINGLE RELIGION OR SPIRITUALITY THAT WAS PRESENTED, IN BOTH VERSIONS OF THE MOVIE, THAT WAS PROMOTED AS THE END-ALL AND BE-ALL TO RELIGION OR SPIRITUALITY. If anything, this movie encouraged the viewer to question religion.
Interwoven with the above, the movie gave the viewer a crash course in quantum mechanics to bring one up to speed on our current understanding, and did this using various examples, including a clever cartoon about Professor Quantum in "Quantum World", helping the layperson to understand its basic principles. It also reviewed some quandaries in physics, such as "reversal-time symmetry" that still baffle physicists today. I felt it did a great job in explaining the history of Dualism, and how it split human understanding of our universe into the "seen" and "unseen", or clock-work mechanistic world versus a spiritual world.
And finally, the main theme of the movie is presented, i.e., that our knowledge of physics and the physical world actually does allow for Free Will and spirituality, and that the world is not as mechanistic, or deterministic, as it may seem. In the end, the movie leaves the viewer feeling more empowered, spiritual, and self-confident in one's own consciousness than previously, but without any sense of being manipulated into one religion or another.

The Truth by Isidro Leal (Texas) 5 Stars
November 09, 2009
For those who possess knowledge AND wisdom, this video will be incredibly easy to understand and accept, make no mistake this series is highly scientific not pseudo-scientific. As for those who only possess knowledge alone without wisdom (wisdom is the common sense necessary to apply knowledge), they will inevitably/instantly demonize or discredit this video without question or second thought, unfortunate but true.
People fail to realize that modern day science is blinded by limitations and it is a FACT, for those willing enough to pay attention to details or smart enough to realize it, that science fiction is constantly becoming reality and constantly pushes science forward. That being said, this video does not present science fiction, it presents reality.
