has anyone else seen this? its pretty cool but i don't really know how factual it is. a lot of it seems like some dudes idea with cool CGI.

so people discuss and tell me what is fact and what is theory.

It's absolute, utter garbage from start to finish.
Utterly pseudoscientific claptrap that takes a very poor understanding of quantum theory and some extremely speculative claims and runs away with them in the manner of a stoned teenager who just half understood something a friend told him about something Stephen Hawking said.
This film is to science what Busted were to punk rock.
Completely worthless.

It's so laughably bad I'm almost tempted to believe it's actually satirising new-age nonsense, but I fear it's serious.

It ends with the telling line: "There are much stranger and more important things going on out there, and it is a lot more interesting than making stuff up."
