I hate wasting time and felt this emotion very strongly after leaving FACT at the end of this film. What a load of psedo science bollocks. This review is short because there is little to say about it, good or bad. This film should have been consigned to the black hole along with the people who financed this twaddle and the crowd of pretentious people who offered their opinions about quantum physics and other engrossing subject matter.

One quote from the film: "Our bodies are composed of a million billion billion billions particles. The more mysterious quantum effects of just two particles can have a 50% probability of cancelling each other out completely...." and so on and so on.

According to a top scientist, who was not in the film, only three facts of any substance were presented during the course of the film - the rest of the views, statements of so-called fact were sheer speculation with little evidence to back them up.

The talking heads became increasingly tiresome as the film wore on, with the animation and visual effects tagged on serving little purpose, except perhaps to stop people falling asleep.
