Regardless of where you land on the conclusions, The Story of Everything is a beautifully crafted film, clearly made with a substantial budget.

3/4

The physics (as we best understand it) of the universe gives eye-opening, mind-opening and, yes, spirit-opening perspectives on our lives and how we fit in as individuals and as a species, and as a community of life on the third rock.

3.5/5

Even with the brilliant visuals, the ultimate point of the film is still too intimidating for general audiences. This is a movie that needs to be a four- or five-part miniseries. There is simply too much information to be fully absorbed in 100 minutes.

The Story of Everything makes a powerful case for the mounting scientific evidence that an intelligent first cause—something outside space and time—created the universe.

3.5/5

This documentary looks at competing theories about the creation of the universe and of life on Earth, nudging us to embrace the idea of intelligent design (read: bearded omniscient father in the sky).

A premier showcase of key scientific discoveries that have changed the way we see the universe and our place in it.

A fascinating and sometimes moving film that merits respect and a fair, open-minded hearing. This is not, as one reviewer suggested, merely a case for creationism. This is a science-based study of issues we have yet to fully examine and integrate into our cultural and educational paradigm. I will watch it again when it is available on streaming services, and I applaud those who defied the resistance and the labeling ("pseudoscience") that is still inevitably heaped on anything that threatens reductive materialist philosophy. This film offers an opening for meaning, purpose and human aspiration urgently missing in time. Thank you.

It was so nice to see a movie that I didn't have to cringe at and cover my kids eyes and ears. There needs to be more of this kind of movie and less of all the other kinds.

I loved hearing that scientists found out that there had to be an intelligent designer of the universe.

I loved it! The movie was so interesting and helped me understand a little bit more about science vs. religion.

Far above my capabilities to understand what they were talking about. The only thing I got out of it was that it took an intelligent being to develop the universe. I agree with that.
