In this cinematic concert -- the concluding film of the Qatsi Trilogy preceded by the critically acclaimed KOYAANISQATSI ("Life Out Of Balance"), and POWAQQATSI ("Life In Transformation") -- mesmerizing images reanimated from everyday reality, then visually altered with state-of-the-art digital techniques, chronicle the shift from a world organized by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic, and the virtual. Extremes of intimacy and spectacle, tragedy and hope, fuse in a tidal wave of visuals and music, giving rise to a unique artistic experience that reflects Reggio's visions of a brave new globalized world.

An hour and a half long video clip reflecting the current stage of human society, to whose dogmas, unfortunately, the director himself is subject in some places. But otherwise brilliant...

I can't help but find this film most interesting in terms of what was depicted, specifically in what collage and with what tools were used (filtering, blending, which is truly captivating in the artistic works at the end), but otherwise, the film doesn't have much narrative power for me. One can think about it, but one can think about anything in this way, because everything can stir one's imagination.
