CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	6	...is not a conventional documentary about quantum physics. It's more like a collision in the editing room between talking heads, an impenetrable human parable and a hallucinogenic animated cartoon.
Chicago Tribune Sid Smith	6	...plays a little like a PBS Nova installment on crystal meth.
filmcritic.com Matt Langdon	3	...while certainly interesting -- comes across like a recruiting video for the Ramtha School of Enlightenment.
New York Post Lou Lumenick	0	...nearly two hours of New Age hooey...
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh	3	...quickly tumbles down a rabbit hole of annoying psychobabble, dubious science and embarrassingly silly animation.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman	0	Watching What the Bleep, I kept wanting to change channels, so repetitive and stupefying is all the pseudo-mystical psycho-banality.
New York Times Dave Kehr	4	Part perky educational film, part goofy New Age recruitment effort...
People Leah Rozen	4	Unsuccessful blending of documentary and fiction...
Village Voice Benjamin Strong	3	A turgid, Enya-synth infomercial for New Age enlightenment...
Onion AV Club Nathan Rabin	2	Part narrative drama, part documentary, all hippie mindfuck, the film utilizes computer animation, surreal vignettes, goofy humor, and an avalanche of overeducated talking heads discoursing on weighty issues in an attempt to convey the mystery and wonder of quantum physics.

crap. worse yet, really annoying crap with dancing blobs and PhDs prattling on. worse yet, prattling on about things that i suspect came to them when fluffed resulting in a verbal ejaculation of nonsense.

i give it a 2 for the interesting dancing effects which briefly made me want to experiment with drugs to see if there would be any further entertainment.
