Inner Worlds is a beautiful and intelligent film about meditation, the nature of existence, and spiritual evolution. It is presented in 4 parts so you can watch it in segments which is good because the information is dense. The music and fractal images make it artistic and the commentary on nature, mythology, science, culture, quantum physics, philosophy and world religion brings the themes together in an educational and enlightening manner.

This film is a must see for anyone who is curious about the nature of existence. It is complex yet easy to comprehend so I feel it can be understood by people of all ages and diversities.

As a professional scientist and also somebody who meditates frequently, I have deep appreciation for the scientifically sound benefits of things like meditation, the ways that mathematics can seem to dictate nature, and reflections on historical belief systems. I've also put extensive study and deep respect into learning about eastern philosophy. Importantly, I also place great great value on scrutiny of facts and hard evidence. For my scientific self I found this movie highly disappointing because it took perfectly beautiful facts about mathematics, nature, and the universe, and built them up to make unwarranted and unprovable statements about the secret true nature of things. It over and over again tried to take pseudo-scientific conjectures and present them as scientific facts.

I'll concede I found some points and ideas, especially in the first part, very mind expanding and helpful for thinking about my place in the cosmos. But, I fear this film may do more harm then good when it comes to opening peoples minds to alternative thinking mechanisms. The narrator claims that people need to "stop thinking" about things loudly implying that blind faith needs to be put into eastern medicine and philosophy. I believe this completely halts the objective importance of examining things at tangible face value. While it may be nice to give your mind away to some deep spiritual feelings you may hold or experience, it's important to remember that a lack of objective external critiques and evaluation is what leads to problems in most modern religious thinking.

In short, if you self-identify as a hippie, interested in aligning chakras and the sound of the universe, then drink this up... But don't delude yourself into believing this is all hard fact.

If you're more of an analytical mind, this film will come across as exceedingly kooky and mildly religious. Not the greatest things. But it still holds a few gems that even a scientific mind can use to expand its worldview.

If you have any interest in the sacred geometry and/or closed and open eyed visuals seen during times of intense meditation you will be seriously impressed by the computer generated fractals and other displays in this film. You might even enjoy the film's message and the quietly authoritative sound of the narrator's voice. Be ready to have some of your viewpoints on what the meaning of Life is challenged. The viewpoint of the film is not hidden if you pay the slightest attention but since the perceived viewpoint may be different for many viewers I won't spoil the party by stating what I took away from it. Watch this several times with friends and see what they think about it. It was worth the 2 hrs plus, actually 4 hrs plus since I've seen it twice now. Will watch again.
