As a physicist and found-footage fan, I was naturally curious about this film. What a dire disappointment then this was.
A title card which gives two highly misleading definitions of physics terms is followed by a jumbled sequence of pictures and video snippets which I guess is supposed to convey a sense of chaos, doom and dread. That is, in turn, followed by a hokey voice-over narration covering late 20th century events that mixes fact and fiction.
Once the film proper begins, it is hard to believe the atrocious dialogue and amateur cinematography. Physicists would never talk like these characters, and I suspect the film-makers did not consult with real physics students, let alone physicists. I gather they just wanted to have another excuse for some kind of monster story that could be given the veneer of physics.
This is one of very few movies (out of thousands) I could not finish, because I could find nothing redeemable in it.
Avoid.
