Meditative piece, relaxing, calming, inspiring, full of wonderful visuals. Makes you appreciate our Earth and the diversity all around more. I enjoyed watching this unique work and would like to see more stuff like this being made! I am giving it 10 stars because there was nothing bad about it. P. S. Don't expect action, drama or any specific storyline. It is not a typical Hollywood movie.

I tried to watch this at normal speed first, than I was annoyed at the slow mo and timelapses. I speed things up until I reach x3 speed, and still it was too slow and couldn't continue watching it. I stopped after 15min. If you like timelapses, repetitive images and slow motion and zen music, it's a good movie for you but I prefer Samsara 10000x better than this.

I'm a fan of Reggio. I've replayed this film like 100x times... Still I can't get into it 100%. The last 1/4 is so good but also so frustrating. So much emphasis on youth and so much emphasis on female, none of which actually matters. K. was so much more impactful b/c it focused on what actually mattered. Sorry, this one is a complete dud.

First of all music completely doesn't match the atmosphere an pace of the footage. You get grand and loud cinematic strings already in 4th minute of the material with absolutely no buildup and no context. Mix of pretty but totally random scenes that amount to nothing. It basically is a vimeo/instagram slomo B-roll stiched together as one long movie.

Don't expect a masterpiece of cinematic acting... But, if you're sitting 3m in front of a 77" OLED TV and additional a 5.1.4 Soundsystem... damn, just enjoy the pictures and the sound, and, if available, enjoy your illegeal... thoughts!
