#THE MOST UNKNOWN THE MOST UNKNOWN HD PLUS#

We begin in central Italy, on a deep-cave spelunk with the geomicrobiologist Jennifer Macalady-вЂњThis is probably the most beautiful slime IвЂ™ve ever seen,вЂќ she says-who then travels to Milan to talk to the particle physicist Davide DвЂ™Angelo about dark matter. The film, which is in theatres and heads to Netflix in August, follows nine scientists, working in realms from physics to neuroscience, who visit one another blind-date style. CanвЂ™t beat that.If Richard LinklaterвЂ™s вЂњSlackerвЂќ followed scientists across the planet, instead of weirdos across Austin, it might feel a bit like вЂњ The Most Unknown,вЂќ a gorgeous, amiable documentary directed by Ian Cheney (вЂњKing Corn,вЂќ вЂњThe Search for General TsoвЂќ).

Plus itвЂ™s sung by someone called Oliver Onions. On the one hand itвЂ™s slathered all over the film inappropriately on the other, it underlines the light, silly, comic tone. It sees Zorro and chief villain Colonel Huerta pursue each other around the castle, clashing blades at every turn, at first accompanied by a crowd of spectators but, as their fight moves higher and higher, ending atop the bell tower, each with a rapier in one hand and a flaming torch in the other, thrashing their weapons at each other with all the vigour and vitriol of men who really, really want to kill each other.ДЄnother highlight is, arguably, the cheesy main theme. Of particular note is the final sword fight, an epic duel for the ages. Plus, being set in 19th century California but filmed in Spain, it also has more than a dash of the Spaghetti Western in its DNA. This Italian-French version of the adventures of the famous masked vigilante (played by the great Alain Delon) is tonally similar to Richard LesterвЂ™s The Three Musketeers: genuine swashbuckling (including some elaborate stunt-filled sequences) mixed with plenty of humour and daftness. A lot of this science is taking place in extreme locations, which bring with them a beauty and wonder of their own. Well, science canвЂ™t explain everything, I guess.) (My exception to this вЂњruleвЂќ has always been films that lose you early on and put themselves on a hiding to nothing. Pleasantly, this kinda confirms my long-held theory that an awful lot of movies are judged primarily on the quality of their third act. Turns out, rather than considering their overall experience, they tend to focus on two points: the peak of how good it was, and how it ended. The last scientist, a cognitive psychologist, talks about how people assess the quality of movies. You might also learn something about movies. I like things shaken, not stirred.вЂќ Or the woman who plays PokГ©mon Go on her remote research island, because the lack of visitors means you find really good PokГ©mon there. For example, the equipment that vibrates samples to sheer out the DNA is labelled, вЂњMy name is Bond, James Bond. It also reminds you that scientists are humans too, via little incidental details. Think of news reports: itвЂ™s not вЂњchemists have discoveredвЂќ or вЂњpsychologists have discoveredвЂќ, itвЂ™s вЂњscientists have discoveredвЂќ. It feels kind of obvious - of course a physicist and a microbiologist are completely different types of scientist - but I do think we have a tendency to lump all scientists together. These people work in vastly different fields - to us laypeople theyвЂ™re all вЂњscientistsвЂќ, but to each other their specialities make them as different from one another as we are from them.

If youвЂ™re concerned it might be all a bit вЂњinside baseballвЂќ if youвЂ™re not a science geek, donвЂ™t be. The nine individuals are very different people working on very different problems in very different fields, but the film draws out the similarities in their natures that drive them to explore the unknown. Alongside that, it reveals the scientific mindset what motivates them. It not only touches on the basics of what the unknowns theyвЂ™re investigating are, but also how they go about investigating or discovering these things - the day-to-day realities of actually вЂњdoingвЂќ Science. In this documentary, nine scientists working on some of the hardest problems across all fields (the вЂњmost unknownsвЂќ) meet each other in a daisy chain of one-on-one interviews / lab tours. It begins under a mountain, and ends on a monkey island.

Nine scientists meet for the first time in a chain of encounters around the world.
