The music is really stunning and takes you into the experience just like in the other qatsi films. But what exactly is this journey?: Maybe a grim view of the world? the title after all means "life as war". A world full of technology and the humans as master or as slaves of this technology? These were my expectation of the film. In stead of the unique and wonderful story telling Godfrey Reggio did with koyaaniqatsi en powaqqatsi which makes you see the world with different eyes . You get this film. What is it? I can't tell you. you see a stream of floating images, symbols and what not. But it doesn't make a coherent story. It is even difficult to watch because the images you see make no sense what so ever and you can easily loose interest. But the music still keeps you going. After watching this film you have two thoughts: 1. I got to have this music on cd 2. what did i see?

where is the story!!

Although this movie has it's funny moments, yes and even good acting. The story lacks any kind of substance, it is totally rubbish!!. They first thought of some funny situations and than tried to make a story out of it. Only, they failed!! This is in no way a Dutch Master.
