Crap... yet another "freedom of expression opinion movie" only possible because it can be disseminated over the net. If it took a year long period of research someone needs to go back to first year at film school.
There is nothing wrong with making people think, especially when they are dumbed down to a silly level and incapable of thinking. But.... that happens by presenting facts with no bias or deviancy on either side. Generally both of these elements are missing in junk - and this is no different.
Mixing 9/11 and ramblings about religon is very US - so bets on, there is another agenda from a "think tank", propaganda workshop or weirdo group trying desperately to have a conspiracy to play with. It's too off this planet to be considered elsewhere - laughable in parts but dumb idiots will absorb the content. The dumb are easily impressed and influenced.
Despite that - it's nicely put together in bits and all-image-and-music-designed for impact, but also uses well-worn propaganda and "influencing techniques" ("power music", images of 9/11 and voice-overs on religous matter, and "end of the world" dialogue blah). It's just too silly, but.... the presentation is OK and there is a use for that with subject material more relevant.
