Now that Google has brought a majority of us that little bit closer to the fountains of knowledge, Cheney’s film exhorts us to jump into the deep end of the ocean and do our own little bit of exploring.Įvery Japanese should visit India once in their life, says PM Modi in Tokyo They serve as aperitifs to whet the appetite for discovery that lies latent within all of us. But the portions it serves are often too small to satiate our desire. The Most Unknown sets out to offer a lot to the viewer. One has to agree with the neurologist Anil Seth’s belief that although the vastness of the unknown may appear too big, we have only come thus far by constantly going beyond what we thought was achievable and graspable. A deep sense of optimism underpins the film. It is only matched by their firm belief in the resilience of the human spirit to explore new worlds. Their awareness of the boundlessness that confronts them is staggering. The most interesting takeaway from the film is the tremendous sense of humility that underlies the endeavours of these gifted individuals. There is so much to see here that, despite the film’s dramatic missteps, you cannot but continue watching it.

Lastly, there’s nature herself, calmly carrying on its work, full of magical secrets and as beautiful as ever. But their pursuit of knowledge and the childlike sense of wonder when confronted with the new and the unknown is fascinating to behold. Their disciplines may appear worlds away from each other. Then there are the scientists themselves, mercifully coming across as individuals full of humour instead of the stolid eggheads cinema can often falsely have you believe. Whatever the documentary lacks for in drama, it tries to salvage with the interconnectedness of differing fields of scientific endeavour. Sadly, these moments are all too few and far between. This is not to say that there aren’t moments, especially in the later portions of the film, where you feel pulled into the unknown along with the scientists. So it is even more frustrating to witness these interesting subjects failing at drawing us into the film’s narrative. Sometimes, valuable time is spent on the unnecessary banter between the individuals.

More than anything else, the massive amounts of information that needs to be condensed to sustain the narrative often strips it of its wonderment. With more time at hand, he could have delved deeper into the individual disciplines, therefore illuminating them better for the uninitiated.Īt present, TMU traipses across the razor’s edge of understanding, too little for those with an interest in the subjects and sometimes way too much jargon for those unaware of the disciplines.

Ideally, we should have been watching Cheney’s concept in a limited series format. The idea is to give the viewer a glimpse of the vast worlds of knowledge humans are just beginning to explore and how they all interconnect under the umbrella of that most primal of human drives: knowing. The physicist exploring the mysteries of dark matter, for instance, next meets a psychologist who’s studying consciousness who, in turn, meets up with an astrobiologist and so on. Beginning with a microbiologist meeting a physicist, Cheney introduces two individuals to each other at one time in a bid to see how far their interests converge. Filmmaker Ian Cheney puts an intriguing concept in place by bringing individual scientists from different fields in contact with each other to try and provide an interdisciplinary approach to his task.
