To do describe this work of art simply as a "movie" would be inaccurate and unjustified. More akin to a tone poem Baraka is.
Is this what the world would look like to a god, a being who experiences time differently than we do?
While Koyaanisqatsi effectively drilled its message, "Humans are destroying the planet!", into our hypnotized minds, Baraka lets you ponder and meditate its multiple meanings. Are humans just another part of the ecosystem, behaving as any other organism would with our capabilities? Or are we different, even alien, to this world?
10 out of 10.
