what shall we believe in
ops-5253519 June 2019
First of all i dont think this was professionaly good enough production wise. its an extremely confusing presentaton of a national security problem(?), and the theme shifts and the person gallery flies back and forth and even inbetweeen, and when kgb,nsa,fbi, and cia enters the documentary story, its just a terrible blus of physics and psychics and scientists, that bend fork and can read between the enemies lines.

the grumpy old man loves the topic of parapsycholoical abilities, and i myself consider myself a person with '' warm hands'', at least my patients says so when doing the hair wash in the sink and doing the bed wound care. but its to blurry and unsteady images, and the story are so commited to confuse the viewer,and i still dont have a clue who to feel sorry for. i think it should have been awarded the top secret stamp till we all know a little bit more from the enemies side of the subject.

True story that needs to be told
cshawsta8418 August 2019
For content of this documentary I would give a 10. Very familiar with the history, people and solid research in the field. All now declassified by the government. So kudos for getting the story out.

Unfortunately the editing of this is very confusing even for some one who knows the history. It's jumpy and very hard to follow the threads in the story because of constantly changing the scenes while trying to tell the story. A 5 for editing.

So close to an 7-8 overall. Too bad because the story and people are amazing

Phew, that editing!
smokeysmokeysmokey29 November 2021
Wanted to like it more. Interesting material, most of which was not new to me. Having Targ in the doc was such an opportunity while he's still here with us. My problem with the documentary is it's over-edited. It's edited in such an ADHD-manner as to be not enjoyable and even uncomfortable to sit through. It very likely will give you a headache. As with all of these projects you need a person with taste for decent editing who can say "no". A convoluted and staccato visual experience. Seriously, the edit cuts every five seconds and constantly montages without a break. Not in an artistic, impressionist jazz way... but in a let's give the viewer a headache, kind of way. Still not entirely finished after my third viewing: maybe that's why they call it "third eye"... it takes three or more viewings to suffer through.

From my point of view, I wish many knew this documentary
digital-cat-girl14 May 2022
People laugh about this and that only shows how little do they know themselves.

Anyone that has a contact with meditation and energy, will eventually end up discovering our own potential and the kind of threat it is if it's used in the wrong way.

However, this is not to be scared at all, this is a super natural hability hidden inside all of us, that we need to embrace and hopefully, re-discover.

This documentary could be surprising for many, but I'm glad it's out there because it's worth the try, I hope it wakes u up and shakes your world and how u see it if u still believe we're just meat, water and bones.

Know that we're one.

Super Interesting
roguegrafix17 January 2021
This was so unexpected and interesting. And, I think, convincing. I'm usually a skeptic but what was presented was pretty dramatic. As another reviewer said: If only half of it is true, it's a story that needs telling.

It will scrape by...
SeanG199819 June 2019
This is about as credible as Oprah's "How They See Us," but nobody has ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the public, so I'd imagine this will make a profit, too.

Great info, not so great editing.
tradeintheshade9 August 2022
I actually took a Remote Viewing course that Skip Atwater was involved in. Really nice guy and effective teacher.

Had a few RV instances that were way beyond co-incidence. Shocked me quite honestly, so I know this is a legit phenomenon.

Wish the presentation was a bit better as it is such an interesting story.

Old Guy Whines About His Wikipedia Page
So an old guy is really ticked off because he wasn't allowed to use the Wikipedia article about him as a vanity bio page. He's mad because the Wikipedia article focuses on his work in pseudoscience, rather than his work on lasers. In a documentary about pseudoscience. And he's known for being a figure in the world of pseudoscience, not lasers.

And he lies about why they removed the info he kept adding.

For one, there are no "Wikipedia Masters," lol. Wikipedia editors just need to follow the rules of Wikipedia.

Second, subjects of an article are not allowed to edit it.

Third, why in the world did they put this in the documentary? How embarrassing. It just makes him and the documentary creators look clueless and out-of-touch.

I guess the camera work is...fine. Production value is fine. Meh.

Amazing story about actual use of ESP (remote viewing) in the U.S. and beyond
steve-seuser6 December 2019
This is a great story that needs to be told about the use of remote viewing by U.S. (and Soviet) intelligence agencies both from a pure research angle and eventually to more practical applications. While the filmmaking itself may not meet the expectations of modern film viewers, the story and the people involved are remarkable. I found myself riveted to it from start to finish.

Highly recommended for people with a strong interest in ESP and paranormal abilities, but maybe it's not a great film for people with a casual interest who might prefer a riveting actual film. The pacing is slow, and the central character meets few of the criteria for a leading man in a mainstream movie. But even more critical viewers may appreciate the arc of the story and the revelations about paranormal research over a period of decades. The laughable but somehow predictable end of this era is the icing on the cake.

This documentary was super interesting!
paul_runstedler10 December 2020
I don't know what to think. I try to be a sceptic but I want to believe. If even half of what they're saying in this documentary is true...well then we better rethink the way most of us believe reality is put together. Watching this motivated me to do my own research. I hope that's what it does for you.

If humans take the time to realize our potential
indiapaige6 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This subject matter surely should gain a higher rating, sadly its not given enough attention as too many are so ethnocentrically focused on the immediate MSM headlines, day to day survival, other quotidian activities. In partial agreement with other reviews, 2 stars lost for poorly edited post production work.

The film's participants are well selected, along with the complement of Russell Targ as host and narrator to the small cameo appearances of Uri Geller, and others. Its fairly well known (hopefully) that Edgar Mitchell spent his post NASA years devoted to the Institute of Noetic Sciences, spot on alignment for the films presentation. Whilst it would've been nice to hear more from Dr E. Mitchell, there's only so many of the stellar executives in explorations of humans inner knowing that a single film documentary can accommodate.

SRI's remote viewing project serves as the leaping off point as the film reviews potentials, interactions, and those skeptics that over the decades encompassed the work of consulting consciousness researchers as contributors to global security, national security and international relationships. The film explores the plethora of governmental agencies who've made use of our abundant talented abilities, touching specifically on now de-classified projects from mainly the twentieth century.

By the films conclusion of its exploration of governmental interactions with consciousness researchers, it leaves unanswered the question of how many, if any, similar programs may have been discontinued as the political landscapes shifted towards dogmatic leanings in congressional funding, or if per chance covert smaller programs may exist.

As the global understanding of our position in the multiverse surrounding us begins to encompass acceptance of interactions with UAP's and their operators, it begs to ask the question what will our multiverse communications be based upon? Physics? Mathematics? Telepathic exchanges? Will we be playing catch up to those who've developed precognitive abilities? No doubt this topic deserves not only continued financial resources for research, above and beyond the earthly tribal military conflicts. At this writing, a growing, as yet unending war initiated by Russia in the Ukraine nation diverts resources better directed for the next encounter for extraterrestrial contact, and its ensuring peaceful outcome.

Science and Experimentation vs Fundamentalists in Religion and Politics
alycelgray25 November 2019
The movie presents an intriguing view into a previously classified area of intelligence gathering. Draw your own conclusions.

No matter what, you will be more educated about what is possible versus what is supposedly impossible. Believe what you will. And, if you are abnormally bold you might research the subject and try it yourself.
