| User ReviewDavid Wa faster paced fricke film. i've heard from friends that this movie will cause your brain to have some very strange reactions when viewed while under the influence of psilocybin mushrooms. but i thought while completely sober that this movie is a time lapse overload of age and nature in the world. |
| User ReviewDaniel ASince the dawn of civilization until the present times, Ron Fricke show us in this documentary the steps of mankind through out the ages. Its a wonderful photography masterpiece, combined with an amazing soundtrack. |
| User ReviewMark AIt will change your life. If you watch this film and it doesn't then you are dead already, just shoot yourself you poor ignorant fool. |
| User ReviewKirk BJust watched the Blu Ray transfer of this amazing 70mm film! Made in 1984, by famed cameraman Ron Fricke. Just mind blowing beauty on a HD television. Highly recommend! Can not believe this is nearly 30 years old! |
| User ReviewEvan DIf you lived in San Diego in the mid-1980's you were probably aware of the first IMAX Theater ever to debut at the Space Center in Balboa Park. Amongst the first IMAX films (if not THE first) was "Chronos" This was a quick follow-up to the very successful Koyaanisqatsi done in IMAX. If you never saw this in IMAX, don't buy this DVD because you wont get it. It still runs in IMAX from time to time. If you can find it, GO SEE IT!!!!!! I saw it 23 years ago when it was new. My mom took me to see it. Through the eyes of a 6-year-old it was haunting magic, it was so much of the world that I never knew existed and the scenes that would appear to "drag on" in normal aspect are lovingly embraced in IMAX. You are literally immersed in some of the most breathtaking scenes that are poetic, mysterious and captivating. It is almost as if you are a god looking upon the earth in the 4th dimension. It helped define how I think today and for that, I love this film. |
| User ReviewJames JHoly fuck, I've watched this in HD 600 times in the last 2 days and it's still amazing each time. |
| User ReviewH. Paul MRon Fricke, who filmed Koyaanisqatsi, largely excepted any philosophical stigma for this opportunity to expand the experimental/environmental film concept to the grandest projection format available (still to this day). Visually, it works as well as the Qatsi trilogy, but substantively, it functions just as an elegant travelogue. |
| User ReviewSean GSweet time lapse movie with amazing visuals. The HD version had a cool menu that allowed you to see where in the world you were in each scene. |
| User ReviewNeill PCannot rate this film highly enough. Absolutely gorgeous cinematography, Ron Fricke is the master of this stuff. Michael Stearns soundtrack is perfectly matched. If you liked the 'Qatsi' films, you will love this. |
| User ReviewSandeep RIncredibly beautiful about an ageing man turning into a vampire. It was also a pioneer in the New Wave of Mexican cinema. |
