"While I enjoyed the visuals and time-lapse video, the "movie" seemed to drag on a bit, and was more like a meditation video to me than anything else. I found myself fighting to stay awake throughout, and the rhytmic, repetitive music certainly didn't help. To me, it felt like a series of stock video footage, set to music, with a rather predictable message... nature good, technology bad, we're destroying ourselves, etc. The explosions were cool... but I'd recommend a nice long nap over this film.

"Perhaps it is because this movie was made in the early eighties when images like these would have been a fresh perspective on life, but seeing it today the images and their juxtaposition seemed a bit stereotypical. The think the nature versus man is a theme that has been overdone. The musical score is methodical. I had a seriously hard time staying awake through the whole film, but perhaps in a theater or an IMAX the experience would have been different. All in all, I can't say I'd recommend this one, unless you're having problems sleeping. "

"After attending this past weekend's IMAX movie for the PNR Summer Tour (see review from Monday), I started thinking about other films that would lend themselves to the IMAX format. One movie in particular stands out to me as the perfect candidate for the IMAX treatment. It has long been one of my all-time favorite films, and its visual style was way ahead of its time.And now, as the 25th anniversary of the film's release is looming in 2008, I think it's time to take the next logical step into IMAX. I've been saying so for YEARS and now is the perfect time for it.The film is Godfrey Reggio's incredible 1983 visual masterpiece, Koyaanisqatsi (see Popcorn's Pix here). Backed with it's mesmering Philip Glass score, this movie is just SCREAMING to be brought to the IMAX or IMAX 3-D format.For those of you unfamiliar with Reggio's work, Koyaanisqatsi (the title is Hopi indian for "life out of balance") is a visual and aural masterpiece about our world and ...
