Take a journey around the globe with director Peter Rodger, as he meets people from all walks of life - from celebrities to the religious, to atheists and the common Man -- and asks them the question: "What is God?", with profound results.

All Religions Do Not Worship the Same God
I wish I could give this technically well done documentary more than an "A" for effort, but I cannot go any farther than that. Its editing makes it seem to jump around thematically and gives it an incoherent flow. But that is not my biggest criticism. It ignores or whitewashes the very profound differences between the respective religions it profiles. (For example, either through ignorance or intent, when portraying Islam, it completely omits the Hadith that is the other half of Islamic scripture which contains many passages that mandate violence against all not Muslims.) The producers seem to be trying to make the case for universal ecumenism: that all religions are pathways to a one real God, and I think this is due more to naivete on their part as well as a superficial understanding of their subject matter. They fail to paint a clear picture of the subject religions and their distinction, but rather a crude mosaic of individual images.

A mashup of ideas of what God is with no real substance.
Worth watching for the beautiful snapshots of people and scenery but that's it. There isn't much actual insight provided on world religions but rather you get a mishmash of talking heads saying contradictions and uncertainties. Rodger really flexed his liberal Hollywood vibe when he portrays Southerners as gun-toting Jesus freaks. Also what was up with the clown music when the radical Islam was trying to find something in the Koran? Like okay, we get you don't agree with him, but using that music was just outright disrespectful.

Worth watching
Very interesting and informative. They travel the earth discussing how different peoples view religion and the possibilities of a Supreme Being. Different culture view things much differently and with varying amounts of certainty.

Okay as far as it goes, but went over the same old ground that so many have already covered.

Good idea but poorly executed
Good idea but poorly executed. The movie lacks structure and development. It goes back and forth without any culmination.
