What a horrendous piece of garbage! Steeped in pseudo-scientific tripe, this film would have been completely ignored by me had it not developed such a following. Which worries me immensely. The fact that people actually believe this claptrap is horrifying. Seriously, steer clear of this if you value your brain cells and forget that this "franchise" (because that's what it really is: a vast cultish money-making scheme) ever existed.
