RATING: ****
Broken into 3 sections (past, present, and future), the film seeks to explain not the force, but signs of the appearance of its power as it has caused some rather dubious (and difficult to explain) occurances throughout history.
One star short of a perfect rating, Zeitgeist fails to explain that the "people" who are on a mission to control everything are being guided by their own evil spiritual force, caused by something we can't quite place our finger on. Is it greed? gluttony? An insatiable urge to submit the world to their will? Or something else...

Loose Change ****
Rating: *****
This is an excellent example of an independent investigation of 9-11. This is not an amateur independent investigation. The opinions presented are of experts, the testimonies are from first-hand witnesses, and the official explanations are straight from the people who were the officials. The voices of protest are the loudest from those who were actually there, and the conflicting reports are from the uninformed news media. One of the more remarkable things about it would be the BBC reporter announcing the unexpected collapse of building seven, while 7 is clearly visible behind her.
Of course, the difficult part about watching something like this is handling all of the facts, and how poorly they're dismissed by members of authority. It's also suspicious, the way that the authority is passed along to people like Henry Kissinger, who as the film points out, is more known for his ability of keeping secrets from the American public than informing them (as head of the 9/11 commission). The eyewitness accounts are unbearably similar, and resonate in frequency as each one points out the same blatant facts. The only thing confusing about the message is what exactly this means.
I'm also not sure if it's pointed out, but a Bush family member was in charge of security in the twin towers just before this event happened. There were also talks about how there was alot of "DataCom" work going on in the buildings, and that parts of it had been shut off. That's all anecdotal evidence, none of which is in this film. Only factual evidence.

Kymatica ***
This film explores the idea that the Planet is a conscious being, and shapes the concept behind what might be considered a new form of Global Religion, stemming that the new age will reveal new boundaries between human beings. While Global Government seeks to extend its aim at controlling economies to enslave the masses, Global Religion seeks to free people from it by fighting the ultimate passive battle.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward *****
Makes more sense than any of the previous installments of the Zeitgeist series. It shows how the world is obsessed with a total commitment to acquisition, and how it's not an institution like a corporation or the government that is to blame, but the social construction of the human mind. It doesn't really go to share exactly how society evolves, however it does imply that social evolution is inevitable, which is obvious but never so in your face like this.
