Movie Reviews of Baraka
Movie Review: Good movie, poor encode
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is incredible. It put me in a totally different state of mind after seeing it. However kepping in mind that the movie has no diolouge or characters, and that the only thing in the movie is scenery, image quality becomes pretty important. Unfortunately, 70mm film on an IMXAX screen doesn't translate very well to poorly encoded 640x480 video. I'm trying to find a theater that has it playing anytime in the next few months, and recommend you do the same, but the quality is poor enough to recommend against a purchase.Movie Review: Setting is very important when watching Baraka.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those films that makes me wish I could erase my memory and then watch it again. The first time I saw it was at a noisy party and it still had me mesmerised for the entire ninety minutes. Every subsequent viewing is amazing but nothing compares to the first time. If you are one of the lucky ones who hasn't seen it yet, get the DVD, turn off the lights, crank up the volume and let this film take you on a voyage around the world. One of the true masterpieces of film making to come out in the past decade.Movie Review: Better than Koyaanisqatsi
Summary: 5 Stars
Baraka pushes forward the thought-provoking, nature-in-torment, narrative-free, meditative genre that was kickstarted by Koyaanisqatsi. The pictures are fabulously clear, the photgraphy brilliant. The music is the most amazing feature, though, combining instruments and styles from around the world in an impressively creative way. For example, the bagpipes and drums that blare out as the oil fields of Kuwait burn always raise the hairs on the back of my neck.If you liked Koyaanisqatsi you'll love this.
Movie Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having seen this film twice I am increasingly amazed at the subtlety here. Yes, when showing it to my college students the usual groans occur at the incubation & handling of chickens but the impact of this contrasted with urban frenzy and rural tranquility are stunning. I was all set to purchase the DVD version when I was scared off by the London reviewer. I do hope the 70mm negative is not lost (1993-94 production date?). Please give us a quality transfer worth the money. jkcooney, ocala, floridaMovie Review: The Best Film I've Ever Seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
A feature about Baraka on IMDB led me here to Amazon - I'm seriously contemplating buying a DVD player solely to see Baraka again. I've seen it only once (in a theatre) and ever since, I've been raving about this film to anyone who'll listen. But the reviewers complaining about poor image quality on the DVD are giving me the heebie-jeebies. How can the opinion of the image quality vary so greatly? I'll wait and see a few more reviews before I make my purchase...
