Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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
Description:
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn?t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn?t reality at all!

This movies tends to create a lot of friction when discussed. It's easy to see why. It belongs in the new/re-branded area of mysticism that dresses up in the trappings of modern physics. Science as a name has belonged to scientists for so long that their not willing to let mysticism use the name just yet.
If you practice Astrology, science of mind, out-of-body travel and so on, this movie is for you. It validates such pre-existing beliefs with the reputable stamps of "Science" and "Physics" placed on the box. The belief-system is now more aesthetically repackaged and can be widely recommended to co-workers throughout the office without being construed as "hokey".
If you're this type of person, don't bother preaching it to those co-workers in the engineering department, though. It won't catch on with them. Admittedly, I'm one of those guys, but I do understand the appeal. Those with any actual background in the hard sciences will just scoff at this or demand that their wasted time be refunded through your positive thinking.
I was disappointed when I went to see the movie because I was hoping for a study in Quantum Physics, as the movie is often proclaimed to be such a study. It's not. I was hoping to see cool (colorful CGI imagery) examples of sub-atomic particle behavior, the Butterfly Effect, maybe even some of the parallel worlds stuff, and so on (even if that is all stuff widely available on the Discovery channel). While this ... Read More

I was very disappointed to discover that most of this movie is unscientific fluff. I can't remember his name, but the professor from Columbia was shocked after seeing the finished film. He said he would have never agreed to it if he knew what the producers had in mind.
The woman channeling the ghost from Atlantis (I wish I was kidding) is using it to drive a marketing campaign for her products.
Do some research on the water labeling experiment. It turns out he only selected the ones that reflected what he was looking for. Meaning, he labeled 50 bottles of water with "love" and only used the ones that worked.
I can go on, but you just need to research for yourself or talk to a real quantum scientist. If you like a feel good fictional movie, this is for you. If you're looking for real quantum science and it's impact on real life, look elsewhere.

This movie excellenty presents some very profound subjects about the mysteries of life. I suggest watching the movie at least twice for the message to impact more deeply. It is presented in a most entertaining way, and the characters are all so enjoyable. Who could resist Marlee's beauty and Elaine's bubbly personality. It is a simple movie but so complex at the same time.
I hope you enjoy it.
