The Principle (2014) Reviews

• What a crock of crap!

  ingramsmommy2015-06-01

  Geocentrism has been long disproven by everyone with a scientific point of view. This documentary is an attempt to salvage a philosophy hundreds of years after it was unarguably rebuked by observation of the real world. We have sent spacecraft to many places in the solar system, and in every case, Newton's laws of motion have predicted accurate results. Geocentrism is a hoax perpetuated by a desire for human centrality in the workings of a much larger universe. It's basis is not scientific but theological, according to a religious reckoning that even the mainline Catholic Church now rejects. This documentary is a result of people who favor their emotional desires over the hard facts of science that tell us the truth about how all bodies in orbit function. The people who made this documentary used decontextualized footage from unrelated interviews by such personalities as Lawrence Krauss, who couldn't be farther from supporting a geocentrist position. This is a fantasy that relies on disingenuously interpreting quotes from scientists who rebuke the very premise of the film. It's a disgrace to humanity that this film should even exist in this day and age. These are probably the same people who believe the moon landing and the ISS are "hoaxes." Grow up, you ignorant unscientific True Believers. We will move forward with science no matter how hard you try to backpedal against it.

• An Awe-Inspiring Revelation of a Breathtaking Discovery

  sojourner12702015-01-24

  This is an excellent thought-provoking documentary, well worth watching, that presents in a very balanced manner the discussion surrounding the discovery, twice confirmed, of what has been dubbed by the fearful as "the axis of evil" in the cosmic microwave background. Contrary to the idea of Earth being insignificant, this line in the CMB seems to be something of a stage spotlight shining upon Earth. The discovery of this axis in the CMB is remarkable, the magnitude of which will take years to study and fully appreciate. Nonetheless, I think the next time I see a beautiful sunset, or have occasion to look up into the night-time sky in a dark place, when it seems as if you could reach up and touch the stars, I will more greatly appreciate not only the wonder of the moment, but the ability to experience that wonder. There is, I think, something very reassuring in that ability, and it does not speak of chaotic chance.

• Bring the No-Doz

  jonsorensen2015-10-18

  I watched this film at its premiere in San Diego, where I was one of maybe 20 people in attendance. If you are able to stay awake for the entire duration, then I applaud you. I went with an open mind, and left feeling accomplished because I managed to fight off the urge to sleep. A gentleman I did not know approached me afterward and asked me what I thought of the film. I told him the production quality was pretty good, but I was not swayed by its premise. He looked at me with amazement, as if the film's arguments were so air- tight one would have to be a village idiot to deny it. I can assure you it's not all that. Conspiracy theorists will probably love this film. Normal people will find it a good occasion to catch up on sleep.

• New Science Discovery - Not A Crock

  tmjf2015-06-15

  Did you know that the most recent data from satellite probes sent up in the 1990s and 2000s show that the whole universe is aligned with both the Earth-sun ecliptic and the Earths's equator, showing that our universe is geocentrically oriented with Earth at the center? The Earth is not lost in space as Carl Sagan suggest. Did you know that the most recent data from telescopes show that galaxies and many other celestial objects such as quasars and gamma ray bursts are oriented around the Earth in concentric spheres? Did you know that every scientific proof for an Earth revolving around the sun and rotating on an axis has been discredited and there has never been an experiment that has provided proof that the Earth is moving?

• 'The Principle' Uses Pseudo-Science to Challenge Understanding of Universe

  PopSpective_net2016-08-19

  Let me start by saying that I like 'The Principle'–it's just that I don't like it for the reasons the writer and producer would prefer. In a nutshell, the movie is supposed to be an enlightening look at current science related to cosmology and the origins of the universe, calling into question the idea that Earth is not necessarily special and is not the center of the universe. As far as I'm concerned, the premise and conclusions are nonsense, but the way the information is presented gives it an air of credibility and authenticity that prove to be a valuable lesson in how pseudo-science can appear legitimate at face value.
