This is basically an edited version of the great documentary "Koyaanisqatsi" with some other footage from other project directed by same director, Godfrey Reggio, but instead of the wonderful and hypnotic musical score by genius Philip Glass, we have instead the pop group Alphaville playing a sort of oriental theme that doesn't bring any effect with the countless images by Ron Fricke, mostly shot in the time-lapse techinque. For quieter and still images, the music brings some sadness, some introspection that makes you to pause and reflect about what you're seeing (the repeated images of a baby are quite haunting for some reason).
Anyway, I can't disapprove the images since I love the other documentary, but I just don't think the music fits exactly with it. Well, it's good to look at it and maybe you find some reflections to be made here. 6/10.
