Why would some people even consider this as a documentary? People who believe in this had "known" all of it already; this fabrication only shows the shallow evidence what this kind of belief is constructed of. This does not however mean that everything in Zeitgeist is untrue, some notions are absolutely correct, but what is untrue is just about every conclusion that is made in Zeitgeist.
The movie consists of three separate parts, first is about the myths of Christianity shown in the light of other ancient religions. Unfortunately this account, although well conceived, is full of mistakes and deliberate falsifications too. Zodiac is for today sheer mumbojumbo, but for ancients it was science as much as the astronomy of that day. Even Roman "scientists" like Varro believed in it. Biggest mistake is however the denial of Jesus as a historical person. There was no chance that any Roman or Greek historian could mention about some son of a Palestine Carpenter until he became famous; furthermore most of the historians mentioned in the context have no extant works left. Also the few historians whose work is extant mention him as a Jewish sect leader whom their followers call "Chrestus", meaning "ointed to be the King of Israel".
The second part is about the usual conspiration theory about 911, trying to prove how the government attacked itself in order to gain people's sympathies for the war against Iraq and Afghanistan. The movie tries to prove how there were no terrorists on board of any planes, being able to use only one case where the suspect was mistakenly named. What's best is that the creator first says that Osama was not the author of the attacks, but still it is noteworthy to show Bush's relations with the guy from the time Osama was still enjoying the luxuries of the life in West.
The third part is created to show how the now nearly bankrupt corporations wanted WW1, WW2 and Vietnam only to make more money with Americans' and others blood. With almost no knowledge on the economics the movie tells that taxation is slavery, but fails to realize that the corps also have to pay various taxes in many forms, and are subject even to change into partial state ownership for example in times of crisis. The end of Zeitgeist tells people to make a revolution and namedrops the usual extra Jesuses like Lennon, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, who all opposed this kind of incitation to violent revolution. Because this item seems to be relatively popular among all uneasy people in the West, it well deserves to be called the modern version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
