It's worth seeing once but don't believe the hype. Many, many clips of Kubrick films set to the voices of people whose interpretations range from mildly interesting to the amusingly nutty to the flat-out sad.

The concept is kind of intriguing, but somehow I feel like watching it validates the craziness of the people in it by giving them my time to listen to their kooky theories.

The soundtrack comes out next week and I'm really looking forward to it. As described at amazon: "One of the finest modern scores we at Death Waltz towers have heard in a very long time. It's simply monstrous, a huge sounding record that references John Carpenter, Goblin, Stevlio Cipriani, late 70s prog and early 80s electronic music all the while with its feet firmly in the present day." The above is a perfect description, and I would add Wendy Carlos to the list. If you like any of the above-mentioned composers, this soundtrack is definitely for you! I was addicted the moment I heard the main theme. http://www.amazon.com/Room-Jonathan-Snipes-William-Hudson/dp/B00FHVP7T6/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1382025174&sr=1-1&keywords=room+237

Is this a fan made documentary or is their actual involvement from people who worked with Kubrick? It was made by a documentary filmmaker. Interestingly, the blu-ray has a 50-minute panel discussion amongst some of the kooks, but also there is a former Kubrick collaborator, Leon Vitale (who worked on The Shining). He has a good time making it clear that he thinks EVERY theory presented in Room 237 is a load of shit. His comments are actually more interesting and entertaining than anything in the documentary.

Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed the score immensely. The fan piece was disappointing. Some theories really don't deserve to be heard by so many ears.

The CD planned for October release has now been pushed to December. I've written to Death Waltz Recordings to confirm they're not going to cancel the CD release completely. Will post here when I hear back.
