I notice a lot of the reviews for this are by folks who don't seem to understand the premise of the film. Many claim it is a celebration of pseudo-science. It is not; it is an exploration of a field that is considered to be pseudo-science due to a lack of funding and research into the field. Yes, the subject matter involved classifies as pseudo-science, but only insofar as it has not yet been acknowledged by the greater scientific community, and only insofar as philosophy does not count as a science. I noticed one review in particular that claimed that the ideas were in no way connected-- that's the whole point of the movie, that EVERYTHING is connected. Reviewers' inability to understand the subject matter shouldn't be held against the filmmakers here.
There is a great deal of applicable knowledge to be gained from this film, provided one has a knowledge base and open mind that allows them to garner said knowledge from it. Those who have some experience with mindfulness excercises and meditative practices will benefit the most.

This is my first review in a history. This movie is so bad, that I needed to write how and why, I just needed to write something. It feels like a duty.
Also, I feel like I need to add a statement, that I am not against the movie because of the idea it represents, I was interested in it, in fact this is why I watched it, I wanted to see it.
So: it is a total senseless gibberish with nice images in the background. An insult to the viewer's intelligence - pretty images and pretty words spoken with a calm tone are trying to hide a fact, that topics are not connected and the movie does not make any sense. Some examples include:
The movie uses many "scientific" visualisations. But it never, except of some interviews, I'll write about them later, refer to anything "scientific". There are no experiments described, no results presented, nothing explained in a clear way. Some research that would show an effect of this lost intuition would be great! I'd love to know what they're talking about, to see when we would need and what and how we are ignoring it, bu no, just some brain images, no real stuff... I would love that.
Showing a funny glitch (an error) in the animation in a computer game as a rape scene. It was an examples of incompetence of the filmmakers. This is like showing an ink stain in a shape of roadkill as an example of a bestiality of pen factories... unbelievable. Even more, because many violence scenes from the game, intended to e there could be used instead, this is a disturbing game, so why to fake this?! Or spend few minutes on checking what their using..
It did not even explain what is this intuition that it is referring to. It just used very broad claims and statements, like something about many signals combined to one feeling, something bout detecting land from the sea etc. But no clear definition. This was misleading.
There are much more problems. Those are just examples, so You can have an idea of how bad this movie is. There is no reason for me to waste my time on listing all of them. I'll stop there.
Pros: Some interviews, with a man from Harvard for example, ware interesting and valuable. But, on the other hand, most of them ware not.
Pretty images (unrelated with words for a most of the movie) and calm voice will not fake it. It is a senseless gibberish that thinks, that the audience will just look at the random pretty images, hear a calm voice and be happy that they did watch something ". I do feel offended.

Badly edited, unrelevant, without proper research, crap. Too bad, as the movie had a couple of good ideas that were short lived
