A presentation of a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical 'life ground' attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a 'Resource-Based Economy'.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great information, I'm not even going to try and touch on any of it as many already have in other comments. I just wanna say once you put all of this great information together in your head and things start to add up for you, your brain explodes in awe and disbelief. This is probably one of the most eye opening documentaries I've ever seen, with the best information and topics. I've known about this information for awhile now, and believe strongly in the message they give. This world is so corrupted on so many levels and this series of documentaries helps you understand how exactly. I think the zeitgeist films (especially compared to other documentaries) are nothing short of phenomenal!! Out of every 100 people, there's only a small handful of complete morons who wouldn't find these films to be awesome. The point is to spread this video! Educate your family and friends so we can all be on the same page. I always like to ask people "Can you imagine a world without money??" After watching zeitgeist 2 and 3 you will 100% be able to!!!

This is overall a good documentary. It begins with a list of what is wrong with our society, and makes some good points. However, none of these ideas are even remotely new - they are simply a foundation for the later parts of the film. Included in this section are some questionable exaggerations and misrepresentations of facts, but not many and not in ways that invalidate the thesis. Then the film moves on to proposed solutions. The propositions are almost good - almost - but they are way to simplistic. It seems that all the nuance of understanding presenting in the beginning has been thrown aside. We KNOW that optimal resource distribution would be great, and we also know from our attempts that it is very, very difficult. Our system sucks, but its better than almost anything else we've tried, and throwing it aside for something untested and idealistic will result in inevitable disaster. Still, many of the ideas presented in this part of the film are interesting, and if not new, at least presented in new ways.Overall, I would recommend this movie. However, I think they creators are wrong in some very major ways, and ultimately all this film has to offer is more reasons why change would be nice but no realistic change proposals.

In pure cinematic terms this is an 'OK' movie. In terms of the message that it contains, it cannot be rated highly enough - hence the 10 stars.In my humble opinion, this movie presents a real world solution to the awful mess the world has got itself into through the short-sighted, abuse of technology combined with a very corrupt and distorted monetary system. Peter Joseph who directs, produces, narrates, etc, etc... could be the next saviour of the planet. This is a profound statement but, having repeatedly viewed his 2 previous movies and observed first hand what is going on in so many countries, I believe it to be true.The observations and concepts extolled in this movie take a bit of getting your head around especially if they are not familiar. We have all developed our beliefs through social conditioning but, if you can suspend belief and think outside the box without prejudice, the answers to most of worlds social and economic problems are there.The previous 2 Zeitgeist movies are more contentious in their format but provide more supporting evidence to back up the claims made in this movie. The best news is that, just as we are witnessing in the Middle East right now, the power to bring about the necessary changes without violence is possible with a shift in mindset and is in the hands of the ordinary people.I strongly urge you to watch all of the Zeitgeist movies for the sake of future generations.

Watched it few hours ago. followed all three parts of it. had a good bunch of great thought provoking stuffs, blended along with some severely argumentative illusions that i might not adopt. a ton of questions floating in my mind trying to reveal feasible answers coping with their arguments, remained inconclusive still. i remember i emailed a bunch of relevant and serious questions regarding earlier parts long time ago, still impounded with no logical answers till date. i hate current imperialistic monetary-market system as they do; still some part of me telling me to like the zeitgeist ideas and the other logically arguing not to. just few of my large chunk of new questions might be(some might say i am tripping...lol!): 1. the current imperialistic monetary-market system owners have history of demolishing every entity that might stand in their way. if some of you are threat enough to them, why they have not taken any strong action on or eliminated zeitgeist (or julian assange, or alex jones or few such more) yet?!?? with due respect, sorry to say that you guys haven't showed much about that the world doesn't already know. are you just alternative strategic deployed players of their potential single New World Order system?!? are they strategically implanting relevant key players in both sides of the game to ensure a win?! 2. how different are, 'a world with many countries' and 'a world with many cities'?! mirror reflection as it seems. 3. 'global resource management system'...who would be in control of that management system and what would be the management hierarchy?! we all know, all decisional opinions can not be singular, so someone has to decide; who would that be?! we also know, money has no intrinsic value of itself; don't you think the singular power and control on 'global resource management system' would have some significant intrinsic value?! how to decide who to lead when?! the 'democracy' again...:)?! wouldn't that be another scam of politics?! 4. who gets to eat caviar or only potatoes...hang luxury art piece or mere calendar on wall...watch entertaining movies on 100inch plasma TV or just able to watch boring news on 20inch crt TV...sail to world tour or only can view sunset from rooftop...who decides about the quality and quantity of final products each can consume?! inequality doesn't depend on only as monetary disparity, but also on consumption opportunities. 5. what if there is large permanent migrations between these modern so called 'cities' resulting in overcrowding and underpopulation among different cities!? how to decide who lives where!? 6. i could not find or rely on a number of statistical facts it's given. moreover, it talked about if a hypothetical similar new earth found...which is not available realistically; rather in this current world, enough damage is already done to create a significant natural imbalance among various regions. how to regain dynamic equilibrium in this already unbalanced natural world as 'Nature is a dictatorship' itself!?there could be many more to clarify...but no offence...i have been a major encouraging initiator for any positive change as always among my peers and students. however, i believe in the saying, "hope for the best, but plan for the worst." :) :)
