Do We Know?! are expanded upon in this extended version of the same film featuring a new opening, a variety of new interviews, and three new computer-animation segments. If audiences found themselves questioning anything and everything about the reality that surrounds them after viewing the original film, newly shot interviews with scientists Dean Radin and Dr. Masaru Emoto, as well as author Lynne McTaggart, help to put the previously presented information into a new context while offering a revealing look at the world we only thought we knew. With all-new information regarding string theory, consciousness, mysticism, and biology, What the Bleep!? -- Down the Rabbit Hole is bound to inspire just as much compelling conversation as its wildly popular predecessor. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
... having sat through the entirety of this bulbous exercise in commerce, I did not come away uninspired.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
While it does render scientific and philosophical principles in a highly accessible format, the film is nonetheless a real chore to sit through, especially in this version, weighing in at more than 2 1⁄2 hours.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
With a schlockmeister's showmanship, the directors have simply taken the old film, cut in other footage and outtakes, and re-released it as a different picture.
Jan Stuart, Newsday
It's like falling through the looking glass and finding yourself in the New-Age weekend retreat of your worst nightmares.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Bleep was and is meant as a bouncy introduction for religion-conflicted boomers, and unlike most theatrical sludge it won't make you feel stupid.
Mark Olsen, L.A. Weekly
Down the Rabbit Hole makes teen sex comedies, action-chick sci-fi and the other usual multiplex chum seem like high-minded discourse.
Andy Klein, Los Angeles CityBeat
...not a sequel but...really more of a "special edition" of the original..., with enough extra material to swell its length to nearly two and a half hours... If you possess anything within yelling distance of a rational mind, you'll giggle mightily before
Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune
Only the truest of true believers would want to sit through it again.
Phil Villarreal, Arizona Daily Star
You'd think after 35,000 years, a warrior spirit would learn to give an interesting interview.
Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies
More talking heads, and a lot more Ramtha.
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The goofy use of animated, Flubber-like blobs aping Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love video (by way of illustrating the irresistibility of desire itself) makes it hard to take the science seriously, which is the Bleep problem in a nutshell.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
A sequel for seekers, What the Bleep!? Down the Rabbit Hole is a lightning rod for skeptics and believers alike.
M.E. Russell, Oregonian
The new footage adds almost nothing and feels like a lame, double-dipping cash-grab.
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The film doesn't have an agenda, or make any kind of systematic argument as to how quantum physics likely will impact the 21st century. It just looks at the wondrous evidence and asks us to imagine the possibilities.
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
By its very existence, Down the Rabbit Hole proves false its contention that focused human thought can manifest both internal and external change.
