GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

walter radunsky Peter Joseph's documentary, 'Zeitgeist: Moving Forward' cites a long list of social and economic problems and then in end proposes that the great solution to all these problems is more technological automation. In other words, rather than suggesting even a single socioeconomic reform, the filmmaker claims that the best way to solve all of our economic and social problems is by simply using technology to exponentially increase unemployment. I'm not sure whether Peter Joseph is trying to be conniving, is just plain stupid, or is simply like so many other Americans who are far too fixated on the next computer gadget and irreparably brainwashed with simple-minded and delusional ideologies to come up with any genuine social and economic advances. In any case, while much of the critique in 'Zeitgeist' is valid and even undeniable, it ultimately proves to be nothing more than a 2 1/2 hour infomercial.

mark-605-688719 With films like this, the time seems to fly by, and it doesn't seem like over 2 and a half hours has gone by at all! We start with an analysis of the "Monetary Market" which dissects the short-sighted quick-profit at the expense of earth's resources paradigm we currently exist in. It stresses the suffering caused to all sorts of people around the world, especially because so many people profit from the sale of money itself, which puts nothing back into the world, and allows very unscrupulous people to profit and exist in consummate luxury, whilst the resources of third world countries are raped and the people made to suffer. It then describes other problems looming up like the shortage of oil by 2050, and how nothing is being done about it because of the myopic nature of the current business model. It goes on to elucidate a far better way forward for mankind, with a society based on the proper management of earth's resources, a common sense approach to understanding that we all need water, food, shelter, clothing and love! It then creates such a society with our current technologies, in a model form and demonstrates its function. An excellent, all-embracing film and one which will leave you with your sentiments aligned to Peter Joseph's, hoping, willing and urging the changes to happen.

SevenBillionth A fascinating insight into the underlying causes of many of the world's problems. The solution Z proposes is flawed, although a sound basis for further thought.The most powerful flaw with this new society is how people are motivated to strive and improve. If everyone gets their fair share, what is the motivation to toil in difficult jobs that will never be made redundant such as the sciences, computing, or robotics? An individual's life can never be better than his neighbour's. So is societal gain from your endevours enough of an incentive to spend your life toiling in a science lab rather than do less challenging work? Given the choice, most people would choose an easy life.Secondly, the natural conclusion of this new society is Gattaca. The first half hour of Z explains that criminals, addicts, etc are more a product of their environment than genetically predisposed. By removing the bad environment so the argument goes - poverty, poor education, healthcare, inequality, etc, the conditions that create problematic people are removed. Sounds plausible. However would such a society not then place far more emphasis on the quality of your genes? Environment and cause & effect would no longer be factors, everyone would receive good upbringings. The distinguishing factor would be genetic. And that essentially is the dystopia depicted in Gattaca (an excellent film btw).To those who say this solution is communist, which has been tried and failed - this solution is not communist. It is post-communist. With the power of modern computers, the efficient resource-allocation system could be operated on a decent-spec home computer. The reason communism kept failing is that it inevitably led to a corrupt elite who were rightfully deposed by popular uprising. If everyone can duplicate the system on which resources are allocated themselves on their own computers, there can be no accusation of corruption. There would be healthy debate and democratic decision making as to the rules and inputs to the system, but there would be no elitist subversion of the planned economy that people hated so much about communism (nor capitalism's elite 1% owning 40%).So in summary, not the definitive blueprint it wants to be, but food for thought nevertheless.

Lochness_30 I'll admit that I found the first half hour to be a bit boring, but others have told me they've enjoyed that part the most. The people sitting next to me were slumped down in their seats, when it started. They were sitting straight up at the middle of the movie, and were literally on the edge of their seats at the end. This is the effect this movie has on people that really get it. This movie (movement) is something that is possible. It would make the world infinitely better then it is today. I was first exposed to Zeitgeist and the Venus project two years ago. You should be warned. If you get it, you'll never get it out of your mindset!
