I was disappointed in the movie as it did not go into depth in regards to the insights, the book was absolutley fantastic due to this fact, but I feel the movie did not capture this which disappointment me. On the other side it was a move forward to awakening the people in regards to a more spiritual awakening.

I must have received a different movie than everyone else. The plot clunks along at a slow an awkward pace. This movie takes the ancient Chinese idea of qi, buddhist teachings and add the glow of someone exposed to nuclear waste and expects it to make a powerful movie. It really doesn't work: bad story, bad acting, bad editing, bad movie. While some of the ideas they are trying to force feed you have merit, the presentation is painful and annoying. As someone who didn't read the book this movie is a must miss.

I'm very sorry to say that this is one on the worst movies I have ever seen. The "insights" developed by the author are absolutely wonderful bits of... insight, and deserve the exposure they have received. Mr. Redfield should have not listened to his intuition (probably tainted by ego) but let professionals helm this movie. They would have smoothed out the naivté and just plain awfullness. The only reason I watched this movie through (although in two sittings, I couldn't take the whole thing at once, too bored and exasperated) was because I hoped that the strength of the "insights" would offer a bit of exhaltation or SOMETHING. Nope, only exasperation and frustration at the wasted opportunities for an uplifting film. How anyone (especially a fan of the "insights") can not hate this movie is mind-blowing.

Having read the book, I was aghast at the violence that predominated in the film and the lack of the messages brought forth in the book. The acting was good, but the direction taken in the film was not that of the author. While the book lacked professional editing, it did have a message that was taken to heart by many. The film belittles the message.

This is a great DVD. I read the book more than 10 years ago, and was glad to see it available on Amazon. Any product that helps us to educate us on becoming more positive and sensitive and loving to others, is a wonderful tool. I would recommend it very strongly.

The scene where the man is talking to the woman and they show what he is doing energetically is wonderful. If you liked the book you will enjoy the movie.
