I'm giving this a 10, not because it is that good, but because too many people are trying to drag the score down. It is apparently impossible to make a film about such a polarised issue, without having the whole film overwhelmed by the debate itself. Just look at the other reviews. The points in the reviews are pulled out of the general debate at best. More often, it is just hatred for Dawkins' persona. It takes a special kind of dishonesty to give this a 0, and then deny you're biased in the same review.

If you're trying to decide whether to watch this, screw all the biased reviews. You know what the debate is about and you know which side this film is on. The only bit of information you need is that it delivers the point well enough. A warning: if you've been following the debate, there will be nothing here that you haven't seen in Youtube already, including parts of the film itself.… Expand

A hilarious comedy. Also watch "God's Not Dead" another comedy which made atheists insanely butthurt to the point where they're spamming it's metacritic page.

When I saw this the audience laughed all the way through (funnier than you would think) and literally clapped at the end. People who are saying bad things about this movie are just people who dont get it and never will. Its a portrait of guys who are having fun teaching the world about life, the universe, and the fact that is there is no god. Grow up! Only complaint? Too short.… Expand

WOW!!! Rotten Tomatoes has almost 100% viewer freshness with 450 votes. Metacritic has it at 37. Anyone else smell some religious bias?

Anyone else smell some religious bias? If you care about intellectually stimulating topics like Evolution, Cosmology, Atheism, or if you just like Krauss and Dawkins, then you will be glad you saw this film. Very well made insiders view about two of the greatest minds of our generation.… Expand

*Spoiler alert* - This movie doesn't deserve a 0 rating. It might not be a film for everyone. And it's certainly not for the person who gave it a 0, and God's not dead a 10. Watch it for yourself and decide. These ratings mean nothing.

Divided and polar. The Unbelievers is not particularly amazing at presenting an argument that will will satisfy all the masses. But it does entertain. It is a fun movie to see with your atheist friends. You will laugh, you will cry. If you think Krauss and Dawkins are rock gods, then you will like it. If you already hate them, SURPRISE! you will hate this movie too.… Expand

Unbelievers is a great movie. Richard are Lawrence are geniuses. Only butt-hurt god-botherers would give this movie a 0. Don't believe the fundys .

If one is looking for an hour and a half of Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss engaged in debate with men of faith, trying to persuade and enlighten an audience as to the merits of atheism, go to youtube instead. This film is about processIf one is looking for an hour and a half of Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss engaged in debate with men of faith, trying to persuade and enlighten an audience as to the merits of atheism, go to youtube instead. This film is about process of chipping away at pervasive dogma that weakens mankind. It is about their unflinching commitment to pulling mankind's head out of the sand. Human intellectual evolution actually creeps at similarly slow pace as evolution itself. It is an honest recognition that we have scarcely breached the dark ages ourselves. Although this was not a technically brilliant documentary that will astonish and transform the audience, the film reveals Dawkins' and Krauss' passion for science and their pursuit of truth as the path to a better world.… Expand

Even though it is sometimes difficult to rate a documentary-like film, a 34 from the critics hints at religious bias. While it is a bit too short at 77 minutes, its intellectually-filled discussions have motivated me to give this an 8.

Obviously all written by the same angry religious person - who probably hasn't even seen the movie. Haters gonna hate, I guess. The Unbelievers is a fun trip around the world with Dawkins as Krauss at your side. I am giving it a 10 to help make up for the undeserved zeroes.… Expand

The Unbelievers is a fine little film. It warmed my heart and brought a tear to my eye. Lawrence Krauss made me laugh aloud. Richard Dawkins made me think, as usual. See this movie.

Remember Christopher.

The fact is Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss do not need to debate anything. Their 'opponents' have only circular references to made up stories by mostly fictional or amalgam characters to draw from, while hundred of thousands of scientists and the relentless pursuit of knowledge that has transformed the world around us and our understanding of our place in it push the concept of god from a firm daily presence in minds to an ephemeral, distant, at best imaginary and at worst malevolent, selfish, greedy force for terrible atrocities.… Expand
