yes, and i had a very mixed opinion of it. while it did present many good facts and good information, some of the conclusions it came to were a bit premature.
for instance, it presents a very good case for 9/11, but to say that the government planned and executed it definitively is beyond the evidence they presented.
the stuff about Horus is taken a bit out of context, but its right for the most part. the astrological parallels are pretty good though. that being said, they dont have the evidence necessary to say that Jesus never existed. They do present the possibility though.
the stuff about the American economy and monetary system are just about dead on however.
all in all, i would agree with about 80% of what was in the movie. definantly a must see for any critical thinker

Overall the video is very mixed.
The first part, while quite factual, is not very
accurate in some parts. But that doesn't
make the first part of it bad in general. The
basic message it transports is correct and
the examples are mostly correct. However.
The last part about 9/11 is as hard to accept
as the official story. There's just no proof for
either. It's claim vs. claim. It's all could haves.
And FEMA at least admits that they basically
have no clue why the towers collapsed. And
what supports the official version for me more
than any half-fact is that there is no supposed
insider talking about it. So far this was always
the case in the past.

I watched the first twenty minutes. My impression?
I cannot take seriously a movie that plagiarizes from various conspiracy theorists and tries to call itself a documentary.
What's REALLY funny is that none of its sources were written by actual scholars. The "Egyptologist" that they quote as a source on the life of Horus was a self-taught Egyptologist who lived in the 19th century. Why didn't they use Geraldine Pinch, Ph.D., who is a professor of Egyptology at Oxford? Wait...I know why! Because that would have required quoting someone who actually knew what they were talking about...and as if that wasn't enough, there's no way the writers of Zeitgeist could have made the claims they did about Horus...or anyone else...if they had spoken to real scholars.
That they would only use books that promote the so-called "Christ conspiracy" should tell you something.
Zeitgeist is as much of fiction as the James Cameron "documentary" and Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code."

It is filled with wildly presumptive and unsupported claims. If there is a kernel of truth in it, they make no effort to show us why we should believe it. Some of there points appear deliberately deceptive. This gives me even less reason to trust the other ones.

They have a few points, but they also go pretty overboard at times.
