First time I hear about this movie but if it is as stupid as the content on the WebSite, count me out. Here's a shining example from the site:
"The earliest known written record of the ratio comes from 1650 BCE Egypt, where a scribe calculated the value to be 3.16 (a mere 1% off the true value). Although now, we have methods to calculate the digits of pi (3.1415...) its exact value remains a mystery."
Wrong. The exact value of pi is known exactly. It's exactly 4 times the arctangent of 1. Or, in simpler words:
4*(1 + 1/3 - 1/5 + 1/7 - 1/9 + 1/11 - 1/13...)
It's just an infinite sequence, which makes it hard to write down. I guess that's too complicated for the showbusiness industry to comprehend.
