Movie Reviews of Baraka [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Open your eyes and mind.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most incredible films I have ever seen. I won't bore you with the details but please please watch this sometime in your life with no distractions. The slide show of images and sounds in the film will conjure up every feeling known to man-kind; sadness, frustration, anger, peace, love, happiness, hope, fear, etc. This film left me speechless the first time I saw it with my friends.. we all sat in silence through the entire film and when it was over, we all took away a greater appreciation of "life" and "the world". The flow of the pictures and their transitions will take your breath away.
This is most definitely a solid 5 star film.
Movie Review: Beautiful Picture, Great Film
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I'd like to mention the picture quality. This is, by far, the highest quality film I have ever seen on blu ray. It's truly breathtaking, from the first scenes of mountains to the very end.
As for the film itself, it's a wonderful (and admittedly 80's looking at times) dive into different cultures around the world. They don't tell you where each scene is, but I like the mystery of trying to figure it out myself. And of course, there's the internet if you're curious.
Some might thing it's a bit boring, but I wouldn't call it a movie so much as an experience. Just take in the fantastic visuals and different world music and enjoy it.
Movie Review: For ALL Life
Summary: 5 Stars
This piece of genius art, is a must see for all who have (at the very minimum), the slightess appreciation for life itself. Ron Fricke's classic BARAKA will go down in history as one of the most incredible, spiritual, moving, films ever made. I've had the old version for years and NEVER got tired of watching it but now that I have it on Blu-ray, it's a whole new ballgame. It really is watching it for the first time again! I cannot believe the detailed picture and especially the incredible Stearns score. You really can't "rate" Baraka at all. You should accept it as a part of life because it really is. This is the ULTIMATE Blu-ray.Movie Review: A visual masterpiece in every way
Summary: 5 Stars
Ron Fricke and Co deserve the acclaim that this film has received over the years. It is without a doubt the best film i have ever seen for visuals. Thanks to Blu Ray technology, the film is extended ten fold in clarity, rawness and depth. I viewed the film on my ps3 console through my 32" HD television at 1080i resolution and it was crystal clear. My next task is to view it on a much larger screen! Be careful however if you are buying the region 'A' version and you live in Europe... it won't play. It must be a region 'B' copy. All in all, this film goes beyond cinematography, its has become an art form in its own right.Movie Review: Visual Poetry!
Summary: 5 Stars
Baraka is a breathtaking global tour through 24 countries. This un-narrated film has no main story or plot. Instead, it uses dramatic cinematography to present a series of themes centered around the spirituality of man and nature. The movie is a montage of beautifully photographed scenes, played to a stirring soundtrack of ambient environmental sounds. I can only describe Baraka as visual poetry!
The 8k high-def scan from the original 70mm film is absolutely incredible, well worth the time-consuming process. If you own a high-end 1080p display, this blu-ray DVD is an absolute must-have.
