From my favorite movies..

Boring

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This review is about the overwhelming annoyance that is the directors constant distraction of drinking his bottle of water during the beginning of the film. I hate to sound so petty but it really takes away from the content of the movie. I mean all he had to do was edit it out, he had that option! It's one thing to be at a conference or even watching an athlete after a game as he's interviewed and takes a swig of water. Even tiger woods is more subtle than this guy. I do have a pet peeve with things of this nature but this is a film man. Outside of this terrible annoyance, it's very interesting and something that's good to be aware of. DMT is definitely not for everyone but it is in everyone! (and everything)sort of.

The ever expanding study of mind and spirit by the fields of medicine and science is cracking open the paradigms of both in ways that are difficult to ignore. DMT seems to be the key that opens the doors of consciousness without physical reality to anchor and manifest it. This documentary does an amazing job explaining both the experiences of the substance and the science of the mind as well as what happens to both when they reach the edge of understanding. Medical doctors, physical scientists, artists, and spiritual seekers work together to explore and quantify the effects of potentially the world's most powerful psychotropic substance. Psychedelic research is finally moving (slowly) forward and DMT: The Spirit Molecule captures the essence of how much we don't yet know.

I highly recommend that anyone interested in this documentary visit YouTube and watch all of the interview "clips". These clips that were shared with the world well before this documentary came out are far more interesting than the documentary itself. Which is disappointing, as I was expecting the full documentary to not only include these interviews but more of them as well.While this was definitely an exciting and intriguing film to watch, the post editing was poorly done and gives the feel of watching a very long preview for something that never comes.Again, it would have been nice if they did not completely cut out people from the documentary that were originally interviewed. This is a 10 star rating, but it still could have been a lot better. I hope the producers could release the unedited interviews as a bonus in the future or at least post them somewhere online.One slight other complaint is that the original backing music for the film (as shown on their original YouTube trailer) was excellent. Their final choice in music gave a totally different vibe, which ended up sounding highly amateurish with a more upbeat, early 90's "teenage pop" sound that just added to the more amateurish feel of the documentary.

This film has been a long time coming, and although outlandish sounding it is this understanding what the scientific and spiritual world are converging on. The fractal nature of reality is Universal, and the ability of the spirit molecule to facilitate experiences of one with the Universe is neatly explained and validated by a fractal viewpoint. DMT is the gateway to consciousness, and without it we would be completely without perception.The most profound discovery in the last 50 years is that the most powerful psychedelic known to man, with the power to perceive intelligent alien/angel/shamanic beings, resides within animal and plants all around us.A good companion film is the BBCs documentary: The Secret Life of Chaos, in this the fractal viewpoint is explored from a mathematical perspective.
