Voyage of Time: Au fil de la vie

Stretching the breathtaking genesis sequence from 'The Tree of Life' to 90 insufferable minutes, Voyage of Time is a total misfire from Terrence Malick.

I'll tell you what: buy it, play it, mute it, no subtitles, put on your classic/inspirational/whatever music of your choice. Enjoy.

Disappointing work from Malick, who I admired so much in "The Thin Red Line", "Days of Heaven" and "The tree of life." The only saving grace in this work -- great choice of music as in all Malick films, mostly Arvo Part and Beethoven. I prefer Godfrey Reggio's "Qatsi trilogy" to this Malick venture. Even Kubrick surpassed Malick in the early man depictions in "2001--A space odyssey" compared to Malick in this film. The editing in this film and in "Song to Song" is incredibly pedestrian.

This is not a documentary, but one of my better screen savers lol.

Yes, stunning visuals, but a documentary is meant to be informative and educational, and this is neither.

The narrating (when present) is annoying. But, very stunning visuals.

When I have a cocktail party at my home, this is my backdrop visual on my 65" screen and it's awesome! Of course the volume is off and I have elevator music playing from my stereo and the combined effect is perfect (you're welcome)!

-5 for the docu, +5 for the visuals = 5/10 score

This film is a collage of scenes from astronomy, physical geography, marine biology and anthropology.

I've watched many Terence Malick's recent films, so I know what to expect. It certainly does contain many visually beautiful scenes, that I would marvel at when I watch the National Geographic or the Discovery Channel. However, I'm not watching these channels. The narration tries to make the film sound deep and profound, but ultimately it isn't. It's a pretentious pseudo-philosophical film.
