Einstein's God Model

Whether one believes in the afterlife or not, this sci-fi film will get you to wonder.... Surrender your convictions to enjoy this eerily entertaining movie

An enjoyable indie ride with some interesting ideas about quantum physics and reality. Gets points for not dumbing down the science. Yes of course it feels indie and low budget in some places, but that's because it is indie and low budget. This should be kept in perspective when rating.

This indie film is just plain fun. Sure, it's amateurish, but...

It mentions some real ideas in physics (past and present) -- GUF theory; quantum theory; string theory; membranes; etc.

It includes some actual history about Thomas Edison.

It names some real physicists -- Einstein (obviously), Tesla, Bohr, etc. (check out the opening credits!)

The props (early electronic devices) look authentic.

One of the writers seems to have a medical background -- some nice details.

Given the film's limited budget, the special effects are pretty good.

The acting is good enough to carry the plot.

I would compare this movie favorably to the first "Flatliners" film (I haven't seen the recent remake).

Watch it and judge for yourself.

Although full of sub par acting Einstein's God Model addresses the question of what happens after we die in a way I have never seen before. Its use of complex ideas such as String theory, M-theory and the God Model made this a fascinating watch. This film puts these complex ideas into words everyone can understand and does a great job of keeping you on your toes. It will definitely make you think!

Very well done for the budget.

PROs: Very original premise and sticks with you longer after the credits have rolled. Beautiful special effects - honestly much better than the rest of the production.

CONS: Some clever humor, but also some very clunky science exposition. Cinematography wildily uneven - at times gorgeous and at times very amateur. Performances were pretty rough in spots. Better casting would have helped.

All in all, this gets an A for effort and a B- for execution. If you like science, especially theoretical physics, you won't be disappointed! Also, LOVE the Chicago shots!
