Avis à la une
As a scientist myself I enjoy this type of documentaries. I have watched plenty of documentary series on the universe and I always search for more bcs my kids like them as well. I can say without any hesitation that this was one of the worst I have ever watched. Very dull and boring
Zero explanation.
I have watched youtube videos far more interesting.
I did not watch it on IMAX. Maybe there ,the cinematic experience would be better.
But on TV is is almost unbearable to watch.
I am really disappointed.

Just like most of Malick's work from the last 20 years, pretentious, over-the-top, and boring. Some of the imagery and effects were good, except for the shots that were just made up nonsense. You don't even know what it is that you're watching when these appear, you'll know them when you see it. Also, Brad Pitt's whispering random words every 10 seconds seem to be just incoherent gibberish. Like a bad attempt at poetry? Pass on this one.
How do you condense the story of the universe into just 45 minutes? Well, you need:
I think this mostly works. It really does aim to encompass as much as it can in less than an hour, all with the patient pacing most Malick films have. It makes for an interesting experience. Sometimes, it feels a little too abstract, but other moments are quite powerful.
Still, it feels like a companion piece to Tree of Life, and almost like an extended version of that film's birth of the universe sequence. I don't think it's nearly as powerful as that sequence in that film, but it scratches a similar itch. Parts near the end reminded me a little of Koyaanisqatsi, too. It's also not nearly as good an exploration of Planet Earth and its inhabitants as that iconic documentary is.
But for any grievances I have, this documentary/art film is still very impressive. I know something would have been lost from having watched it at home, too, instead of an IMAX screen, so I'm willing to be a little more generous when it comes to rating this.
- Poetic and vague voiceover narration from Brad Pitt
- Beautiful images
- A keen ear for music to match to said images, and
- To be Terrence Malick

This film does not require much of a description... or, rather, it kind of defies it. However, given the paucity of extant reviews at time of writing, I thought I'd throw in my 2 shekels worth (NB: Nothing worse than few or zero reviews for one to scope out a potential viewing with... and without the ye olde forums to call upon for forewarning, going in blind is very risky nowadays).
'Voyage of Time' is essentially the hypnotic space sequences of Kubrick's 1968 seminal work, combined with 'HD Star Gaze'-type spacescape porn, and a sprinkling of the trademark Malick, meandering copy pasta (*the shtick is now getting to the point of overuse, that it almost feels vacuous... no "flowing curtains" here, though) thrown in for, err... coherence(?).
Do not see this expecting another 'Thin Red Line' or 'Days of Heaven' ― this is seemingly far more of an indulgence for Malick, than anything approaching an opus. The film is good ― do not misconstrue. It's just that it's more a spacescape with some evanescent Blanchett ruminations about "mutter" (?) ― then book-ended with an Australian aboriginal (perhaps inspired by the {vocal} presence of said actress... dunno) take on the '2001' director's famous "chimpanzee / Monolith" scenes ― than a film with a coherent tale underpinning its wistful veneer. There is a narrative one can interpolate here, but it's a 'each to their own' kind of offering.
I feel asleep watching this (twice)... But only because of how dreamy its visuals were; not because it was boring per se.
My God! It's made of 8 stars / 10.

It's astonishing how fortunate we are to feel the way we do when watching nature unfold. This majestic and ethereal spectacle that warms our hearts. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we must feel infinitely thankful for how evolution shaped us in a way that lets us marvel so profoundly at nature.
The more we learn about how humans work, how society works, how civilization works, how biology and physics work, how the collapse of a star will impact distant galaxies, the more we realize that everything is connected. Time and space is one sandbox in which infinitely small events play with other ones of unbounded cosmological proportions, all in a perfectly deterministic manner.
This teaches us that the only way we can feel what we're all truly looking for, which is to be loved, is to show our love to the world. To show it to other people, to animals, to plants, to the wind, to nature. Because nature is everything there is to know, and love. Because you are nature. Because loving nature is loving yourself. And the more you will learn about the world, the more this will all make sense.
This is what this movie is about.
