Great convincing film but not necessarily consistent or evidenced
jess-a-reviewer30 December 2018
The production and story telling of the film/documentary is amazing - it is enough to convince you it makes sense and the science seems to support it. However viewers would benefit being aware that some of the statements framed could be misleading, they are inconsistent and/or are not actually supported by scientific rigor of evidencing as indicated - scientific methods and society are skeptics and rigorous specifically because of the bias we can hold for observing and determining truths and facts. I do appreciate and enjoy watching the film from the story telling, ideas and cinematic experience though.

I Have Seen the Light!
ilkhausen-864-6784330 November 2017
I thought this film was amazing.

It is well written and moves at a good pace, with concepts that build and evolve. Stunning camera work, motion graphics and audio production bring it all together.

The Connected Universe is all about the science but at no point do it's theory's dispel the notion of God. This is done with a grounded, harshly realistic view of today's world, and a highly optimistic vision of what the future could look like.

Highly recommended!

For those who don't believe . . .
rcriggs-5636231 July 2019
. . . maybe it's time to step out of the dark ages and do a little homework. Here, I'll get you started . . .

In Nassim Haramein's paper, Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass, a prediction of the charge radius of the proton was confirmed with greater accuracy than any other theoretical framework. An experiment performed in 2013 by a team of scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute, confirmed the prediction.

Nassim's paper "Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass" was published in the peer-reviewed journal Physical Review & Research International. This paper covered his precise calculations on the holographic mass/charge radius of the proton. His findings related to the fundamental physics driving gravitational effects from the cosmological scale to the quantum scale has massive implications on the understanding of the source of mass in our universe.

This theory was later scientifically confirmed when the proton radius was determined through the measurement of muonic hydrogen by an international team lead by Aldo Antognini and carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Superb film in every way.

stock footage showcase
fido2323 August 2019
So there is this guy who says he found out what Viktor Schauberger and others published before. But he can prove it mathematically - he says. While the film surely isn´t under pressure of time you have to believe his words since there is no way to reproduce it from this documentary. You get Patrick Stewart referencing Star Trek´s creator Gene Roddenberry and lots and I mean LOTS of stock footage and After Effects templates that often seem to be dsplaced at best with "epic" music that just distracts from Stwearts narrative. Most of the time you hear Nassim Haramein speculating about the consequences of "everything beeing connected" with a strong esoterik undertone in the style of shows like Ancient Aliens "what if its true". The rest is him hinting at Einstein and how he was ignored by the science community suggesting Haramein in the same line with Einstein. A missed opportunity of an interesting idea.

Enlightenment via truth and science
sarahmass10 May 2020
Nassim Haramein is a name that should be as known as Tesla, Hawking, Penrose and Einstein. His work is the closest to a true unified theory that I've heard, without added nonsense that's unproven in real world application. Unlike today's cookie cutter science, Nassim is a free thinker, without prejudice he follows truth not dogma. The imagery is inspiring and Patrick Stewart's narration is Picard Perfect. Very inspiring and reminding us that we are all connected .

Limitless Energy At Every Infinite Point Of Space
milespergallon13 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Nassim Haramein just changed the world, by showing us a beautiful unified theory of how the entire universe works. In simple, accessible, and easy to understand words and language use.

"protons are black holes" i shall continue to enjoy learning all that i can about everything nassim haramein teaches. I just hope nassim can make all of his material available on audio book, and audio listening accessible, which is my favorite way to listen and learn, new knowledge.

I am grateful beyond words, for the gifts of insight and knowledge that nassim shares. This man is dedicated, and completely committed to sharing the gifts of his vision, with an ever advancing, humanitarian world.

Nassim teaches us that we can mature together through our connectedness, and share in the development of ever more efficient tools for pumping energy from the infinite energy space, into our batteries and circuits, in ways that in the past, would have been believed to be impossible, by many.

Nassim haramein is the most sincere, dedicated and committed scientist i have ever learned from.

And i look forward to the continued lifelong journey.

The only thing i can say to anyone that was taught to throw away infinite energy with the process of renormalization, i will have to say that nassim looks at all aspects of reality for what is actually there, and does not throw away energy just to make the math work. Because to me, that would not be science. Science is truth in documenting what is actually before us. Not throwing away infinite energy just to make the math and equations work.

And beyond this, nassim has found a way to understand the reality, of infinite energy, everywhere. And the equations are awaiting your study.

quite a bunch of hocus pocus make-believe
mro-producer10 December 2018
This has the scientific veracity of alchemy in the middle ages. It's all made-up. The filmmaker obviously has talent for special effects, but the base materials are drawn from Nassim Haramein who does not do experiments, nor does he have peers review his findings. They just make up physics that sounds good and surround it with story telling.

Not Science
runwolf-620001 September 2022
This should be put in with the woo woo ancient astronaut garbage. It might be believable if you smoked some good pot but it has nothing to do with evidence or science. I half expected to hear about flat earth and a 7 day creation in this steaming pile of trash.

You'd get more of a scientific discussion if you got a 17 year old high school drop out stoned and asked him to explain how he thinks his/her hand works.

This is why "documentary" streaming services (like Wonderum) and the documentary section of Prime have do much anti-science garbage listed in them. "Let's pay Patrick Steward to do the voice over to try to lend us some credibility. This way no one will bother to ask us for evidence about the outrageous claims we make."

It's woo woo waste of times like this that made the USA a laughing stock to the rest of the world. It's programs like this that dumbed down our science literacy. It's programs like this that made India and China the scientific powerhouses they are.

95% stock footage, cheap graphics and fluff.
liesl202020 September 2019
Oh my goodness this was so bad. It's one of those typical documentaries that will throw in some science and some sciencey sounding things together. There's so much fluff. E.g. going off on a tangent about how we've been at war and humanity is suffering etc etc. Then throw in some graphics that show the fibbonaci sequence. And lead the audience to believe that we all effect each other so think happy thoughts and all will be well. They only featured one scientist and his ideas. When only one argument is presented, it is clear bias. Also very little actual data and information of substance was presented. It was mostly woo woo. Don't waste your time.

Absolute rubbish
steelzzz20 January 2019
Bloody waste of time. How can you have a science documentary with little to no science. Just a simple feel good movie for simple minds.

Nice Blah, Blah, Blah
helematie31 July 2020
No explanation, no proof. Just nice Blah, Blah, Blah.

The guy is just building its own business, he will probably make a few conferences to make money.

Do not waste your time.

Total rubbish.
adamjoyce-2167414 October 2017
Shame on you Captain Picard, a Star Fleet captain should not associate himself with such nonsense. And nonsense it is, the self-indulgent crowd-funded musings of a stoned teenager who thinks he has stumbled upon a great discovery, except the teenager will usually quite quickly realise that their theory is neither new nor correct, which is a stage the producer of this documentary about himself and his interesting thought that he had never arrived at. I feel a little sorry for the deluded fool, but I guess he's getting paid, so, whatever, right?
