CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

kevjfarrell I revisited this on DVD very recently. I thought that when I watched it originally that I enjoyed it more. This is the last in the trilogy and feels rather watered down. I would recommend that people who haven't seen this trilogy watch them in reverse order and they will enjoy each one better than the last. The visual effects in this one are nowhere near as powerful and thought provoking as the other two movies. The music is quite hypnotic. I don't feel the images were well thought out enough. It doesn't feel like there was anywhere near the same effort put into this one as the other two. I can't help feeling that the Director - in hindsight - isn't somewhat disappointed and feels he could have done better!!! If you've seen the other two movies in this trilogy, then you are likely to be disappointed with this one. It's not bad, but it's not that good either.

ShiiStyle The first two movies of this series excelled for their footage of the natural world and ordinary people stuck in the midst of society. This movie doesn't have any of that natural footage, which I understand is part of the point, but it really makes the entire video component of the film seem like random images stuck together-- ones and zeroes flying around, computer models of human skeletons, and so forth. Occasionally the stock footage is put to good effect (the nationalism/finance segment around 35:00), but usually it makes the video appear to lack any meaningful content, and demands you accept the context of the stock photographers rather than the context of the director. It's no better than the video displayed on a karaoke machine. Three stars added for the Philip Glass soundtrack.

leif26 Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi are both Beautiful films, but this final installment of the trilogy is a major let down. They got too carried away with stock footage and photography, so little content. The executive producer puts his own image in the film... Its just pretentious. Maybe if they had more than $3 million to spend maybe it would have been something. I actually thought Steven Soderbergh directed it because it was so bad, but Godfrey Reggio the director of Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi directed this. I'll have to assume that they just didn't have the budget to make a decent film. You would think that Francis Ford Coppola would have wanted to be a part of this film and help get more money together.

igm The peace and beauty of Koyaanisqatsi was a powerful affirmation of the natural world. In Naqoyqatsi, we are assaulted by images of the synthetic, the competitive, the violent, and the digital -- the destructive constructs of our culture.Some liberties are taken with the images, with posterization, distressing, and much slow motion. The connections between the sequences are inscrutable, if there are any. Naqoyqatsi is defined at the film's end, a missed opportunity to place the images in context.The film is difficult to watch, the quality of the archival footage uneven, and it's most redeeming qualities are its theme and the hypnotic score of Philip Glass.
