The Story of Everything proposes a re-examination of established certainties and the development of new models for understanding a universe that continues to be both mysterious and fascinating. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

The physics (as we best understand it) of the universe gives eye-opening, mind-opening and, yes, spirit-opening perspectives on our lives and how we fit in as individuals and as a species, and as a community of life on the third rock. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Even with the brilliant visuals, the ultimate point of the film is still too intimidating for general audiences. This is a movie that needs to be a four- or five-part miniseries. There is simply too much information to be fully absorbed in 100 minutes. Go to Full Review
Brett McCracken The Gospel Coalition Apr 30
The Story of Everything makes a powerful case for the mounting scientific evidence that an intelligent first cause—something outside space and time—created the universe. Go to Full Review

Jennifer 18h It was so nice to see a movie that I didn't have to cringe at and cover my kids eyes and ears. There needs to be more of this kind of movie and less of all the other kinds. See more Mary Ann 18h I loved hearing that scientists found out that there had to be an intelligent designer of the universe. See more Gayle 1d I loved it! The movie was so interesting and helped me understand a little bit more about science vs. religion. See more John 1d Far above my capabilities to understand what they were talking about. The only thing I got out of it was that it took an intelligent being to develop the universe. I agree with that. See more perry 1d Very enlightening. I kept thinking about the song, "Our God is an awesome God", and the Bible verse: "I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" Definitely on a higher level of scientific interest, so not for the average audience. See more Nancy 1d Very well-done film about the "story of the creation of the world." Very scientific, howevever, I was able to follow and understood the relevance of the material covered. This film gets you thinking... See more Read all reviews
