Should mention The Unbelievers isn't objectively a very good film - mostly just a self-celebration by the newly energized atheist movement.

It was neat hearing "our leader" Dawkins take questions after the screening, though; Krauss wasn't as good at it as you have to be - but he's new, and Dawkins presumably wasn't so good at it himself once. The long-form book arguments have to be matched by well-crafted short ones: epigrams, anecdotes, prepared one-sentence counterattacks to the double handful of nasty but effective shutdowns the other side's come up with.
