Well you obviously missed the entire point of the movie. They go on and on to try and explain the phemonemon that exists within the quauntum world.  And from what I understand most quantum physicists agree.  I am sure your reaction is common amoung ignorant conservatives who have seen this flim.  Our subconcious really can't tell the difference from what we take in with our eyes and what we see with our minds eye because they are the same thing.  We don't see with our eyes we see with our brains.  And the proof is in our dreams not PET scans. Can you tell when your dreaming? Yes, sometimes you can.  But only when you experiance something sureal that you know can not be real do you realize that you are actually lying down sleeping immersed in your imagination.  And it is not only sight that your mind can not tell the difference but all of your sences as well. (Come on man, Didn't you see the Matrix???)  They didn't make this stuff up, its been known for years. But I guess you didn't know that considering you ARE ignorant. There is nothing wrong with being ignorant, however  it does tend to make you out to be a fool when you voice your uneducated opinion. I realise that you live in a concrete world, but there is no need to belittle everyone who wish to live up to their true potential.  Let me ask you this. Has anything extraordinary ever happend in your life. From your post I've would say not.  I hope you realize that the reason is entirly your own fault.  They never said that reality doesn't exist or that it is fabricated by us.  What they did say is that all possibilities exist until there is an observer.  This gives rise to the theroy that the observer has influence on what it is observing.  From my experiance I do not find this very hard to believe and I'm sure many others have had similar experiances. The reason why you may have not is because you don't believe that it is possible. If you don't believe it is possible to have influence on the environment then your life will be very predictible.
As for your last comment, which I might add was extremly unnessessary.  I serouisly doubt the creators of this flim were tring to make a quick buck.  The 'self-help blather' as you call it, bring forward serious issues everybody faces.  We all have addictions and we all are self-conscious about our selves.  People are unhappy and turn to religion for answers. Unfortuatly most religions really only make us feel worst about ourselves.  They were tring to open peoples minds and get them to think. Unfortuatly some peoples minds are welded shut.  By the way it is human nature to try to explain the unknown, unfortuatly modern religion has been putting a damper on our efforts for centuries.  Do you realise that you condridicted yourself in the second paragraph of your post?  A huge part of society has already accepted that there isn't a "uber-being a with plan and reason..." It would seem that you are afraid of the "mysterious" as you call it, and wish to replace it with "it's definatly not what they said." What exactly is credible? that the particles inside atoms defy the laws of physics ? or that there is validity to there claims.  Besides all that The very first point they made in the movies was that man has always tried to explain the unknown and has many times been wrong, well my friend, this entire movie is a perfect example of this.  There may be a discovery or breakthrough that discredits the entire movie or proves it to be true, but they covered they're bases, making the flim enitrely credible. And considering the TRUE point of the movie was to get people to think and help people to live better and to have more fullfilling lives, I'd say it was a complete success.  In the future please keep you negative critisism to yourself.  There really is no need to shoot down the filmmakers simply because you do not agree with there ideas. Because a lot more people don';t agree with yours and they definatly do not want to read them esp since you only proved to these readers that you're, well, ignorant.
