Review of Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist (2007 Video)
1/10
A documentary on religion war and economics.... Conspiracy theories abound.
10 February 2011
I find it hard to understand how this film has such a high rating. I was probably harsh in awarding one star, but what is the point of a documentary where many of the "facts" are just convenient invention. I was very surprised by much of the first 10 mins, so stopped watching to check the facts. Just 15 mins of internet research made it clear that a ludicrous amount of this film is just made up! Despite this I struggled through to the end. There are some interesting ideas (weather right or wrong) and whilst i agree with some of the sentiments in the film - especially on religion - the way they are presented is very suspect. On the whole the films production is amateurish and a little laboured. However by far the worst thing is the lack of research and bare faced lying. Its a shame because the subject matter is worthy of a good documentary. (Try "The God who wasn't their" instead.)
