Moviegoers are saying
"The Story of Everything" splits audiences down philosophical lines, with viewers either finding it a visually stunning scientific exploration that makes complex cosmology accessible, or dismissing it as thinly-veiled religious propaganda masquerading as documentary. The film's commitment to intelligent design theory and selective use of scientific evidence creates passionate defenders and equally passionate detractors.

    the story of everything does not really pose any new or groundbreaking information. instead, it uses pre-existing facts to present the argument of whether or not the creation of our universe is intentional. this isn't necessarily a bad angle to take, but the film takes a…

    Nah, I'm 100% convinced there had to have been an intelligent creator behind our universe. Y'all can disagree with me if you want, but this is life changing!
