This experimental film looks at the world and more specifically the effect man has had on the landscape and the environment. Without narration, the film shows the world in a pristine condition and untouched: blue skies, beautiful landscapes and endless vistas. The man-made world is much less appealing. Essentially a montage using a variety of film techniques to provide a visually stunning montage of images.... (Full plot summary below)

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Chuck BowenKoyaanisqatsi is enraged with modern societal convention, but still expresses awe of the spontaneous, incidental poetry that can exist despite invisible oppression.
Slate - 8/10 by Seth StevensonThere are utterly transcendent moments amid this 87-minute music video. It’s all about that pumping, hypnotic, emotionally-gripping Philip Glass vibe.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayReggio has a flair for iconography, and whatever external baggage Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi may carry, they should be admired for their vivid, astonishing illustrations of humanity consuming itself in clouds of its own smoke and debris.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThe worlds of the natural and the artificial are compared and contrasted in this non-narrative visual orgy.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertKoyaanisqatsi is an impressive visual and listening experience, that Reggio and Glass have made wonderful pictures and sounds, and that this film is a curious throwback to the 1960s, when it would have been a short subject to be viewed through a marijuana haze. Far out.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyKoyaanisqatsi is an oddball and - if one is willing to put up with a certain amount of solemn picturesqueness - entertaining trip.
Variety - 6/10 by Jim RobbinsKoyaanisqatsi is at first awe-inspiring with its sweeping aerial wilderness photography. It becomes depressing when the phone lines, factories, and nuke plants spring up. The pic then runs the risk of boring audiences with shot after glossy shot of man’s commercial hack job on the land and his resulting misery.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Rita KempleyAt once maudlin and doggedly sarcastic, the film gives you the uncomfortable sensation of being condescended to by an idiot; it is, transparently, a product of the advanced technology it purports to despise.
User Review - 10/10 by yeahyeahyeahsThis movie is a true masterpiece, unique and wild, untouchable in its genius and expression. I read the French review that is currently up that gave it a 0 and I could not help myself but to reply. Calling Phillip Glass uninspired without evidence or proper argument is nothing but a crime. This movie doesn't "serve" a purpose more than any other film. It is a triumph of light, colour and sound in its own right. Any film-goer who has not watched this start to finish can consider their experience of the last two centuries incomplete.
User Review - 0/10 by BroyaxSous ce nom à coucher dehors aussi imprononçable qu’improbable se cache un étron écolo-gogol et en l’occurrence un vrai faux documentaire à la godille qui entend dénoncer l’activité de l’homme et son impact sur la planète… Il s’agit pour la grande majorité de plans en accéléré après avoir planté sa caméra en divers endroits, près d’une usine ou bien en ville, dans la circulation ou dans un centre commercial, ou dans les rocheuses ou juste vers le ciel pour voir les nuages défiler ou alors simplement n’importe où…! Ce n’est qu’un long, très long vidéo-clip d’une plombe et demi, sans commentaire, ni effets sonores, bêtement illustré par la musique désagréable d’un Philip Glass fort peu inspiré… C’est donc à la fois long comme un jour sans pain et chiant comme la pluie : oui, nous confirmons que c’est vraiment à dormir debout, cette merde ! Je suppose que c’est biodégradable et qu’on peut la recycler en papier-cul tout beau, tout neuf ; du moins, je l’espère, que ça « serve » au moins à quelque chose ! Expand
