I agree. I've just watched thirty minutes and I couldn't watch anymore. So much crap thrown at me at the same time isn't good for anybody and to top it off, the presenter has the most annoying voice ever and the so called experts in the show are smiling because they have to pretend that they are using some stupid high tech technology. Quite possibly the worst documentary I've ever seen. Rated it 1/10. Worse than Zeitgeist.

Same old crap from another conspiracy theory. You are one of those that the OP was talking about.
shareMore baseless accusations. Your posting history tells me all I need to know about your "broad" perspective of the world.
I have seen many documentaries, and I stress many. I am not the type of person that watches something and believes it without questioning it. Or, who picks up a new cause after every "message" movie that I watch. For the record, I usually stay away from Alex Jones and NWO conspiracies.
This film may have been out there, and maybe even poisonous to weak minded individuals. It does make very good points though, about a broad array of topics. I can understand how it could cause people like you to tune it out completely. If you haven't noticed that the world is in a sad state of affairs, however, then you aren't paying attention. I think the strongest point it makes, is 'follow the money up' if you want answers. I firmly stand by that concept.
Hiding your head in the sand is far more dangerous than entertaining conspiracy theories.
Beliefs are the eyelids of the mind
Nathan, you say you're not the type to watch such documentarys without question, but if you did your own research you'd realise this is nothing more than misleading drivel.
It employs the same tactics other similar highly polished conspiracy movies employ.
1) Lots of out worldly space music with lots of reverb to set the scene
2) Calm soothing narrator voice "I am the voice of reason... listen to me I tell the truth, here are the lies.." type approach *rolls eyes*
3) Go to the Thrive website, its all DONATE BUY DVD, uhu, the real motives are clear.
4) Dig deeper into the Thrive site, realise there's an actual corporation behind it all. Wait what? All corporations are evil.... right? ;)
5) Film has many interviews with Nassim, a well known pseudo-scientist fraudster, I did the worlds biggest facepalm the second his face showed up on screen, but I shouldn't be too surprised, pseudo-scientists tend to stick together
6) Use of small snippets of actual scientific fact taken out of context to support pseudo-science rubbish.
7) Use of 'quote-mining'. If you're not familiar with this, its when for example a speech an important person has given, you don't quote the whole speech, or even a paragraph, you just take a single sentence out of it or even just a few words and use only that, again taking something completely out of context of its true meaning, to support something else entirely. The irony being, conspiracy movies often talk about how the big evil media twists facts, yet it is THESE VERY CONSPIRACY MOVIES that are the ones manipulating and editing the facts to present an alternate 'truth'.
...are we starting to learn now?.
I mean all it takes is a bit of basic common sense and logic to see past the bull and realise that Thrive is yet another steaming pile of nonsense.
