After you get past the tedious first ten minutes (the corny "mood"-setting before the actual content of the movie gets going), Zeitgeist can be pretty absorbing.
Ideas put forth in the movie are being debunked all over the place, though. If you watch it and feel effected by it in some way, follow it up with some research, I'd suggest. This discussion contains some helpful links.
I've been researching what's covered in parts two and three extensively for over a year. I've seen too many films and read many books on these subjects. To say they are comprised of Loosechange and Freedom to Fascism clips is not at all true. Zeitgeist uses a lot of 911 mysteries footage but takes it all to another level. The film really seems to use clips from everywhere. It's easy to debunk parts of Loosechange because it admittedly (by the makers) has it's mistakes. But they are coming out with a new film very shortly (Septmeber 11) to correct the mistakes and it's really going to be a whole new film. The only thing I'm really not up on is the religious part of the movie. I have friends that say he is leaving something out. Not that he's wrong really but he is leaving some truth out. And these folks believe in God.
