Terrence Malick's first documentary has been described by the director himself as "one of my greatest dreams". It is a collage film (like Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio) that intends to illustrate the birth and death of an undiscovered universe. A film that promises to be highly experimental and perhaps Malick's most ambitious film. The story of the universe itself, with powerful images, from the Big Bang to the Mesozoic era and through the present and beyond, based on a project conceived decades ago. The film was made in two versions, a long one for theatres with Cate Blanchett as the narrator, and a 40' version for Imax with Brad Pitt as the narrator. (Venice International Film Festival)

Uma bela meditação existencial que não responderá a nenhumas perguntas, mas que o colocará numa calma «somos apenas um microcosmo do universo colossal e os nossos problemas são apenas um produto insignificante da nossa mente». A maior parte do filme consiste em belas imagens da National Geographic de fenómenos naturais, acompanhadas pelas linhas filosóficas de Malick, ou melhor, de linhas de vida, lidas por Cate Blanchette. Mas entre estas são inserções perturbadoras de gravações «de videotape» da pobreza da civilização na Índia ou no Médio Oriente. Não funcionam como um contraste, na minha opinião. Godfrey Reggio contrasta de forma mais compacta na sua trilogia, e mesmo sem palavras é mais eloquente e mais substancial.

Put this on a loop and this would make a great video for TV showrooms. Malick’s meditative essay about our corner of the universe is a feast for the eyes. The wonderful landscape shots are interrupted by video cross-sections of life that rather spoil meditation.

Koyaanisqatsi for the slowest of the slow. Beautiful National Geographic screensavers, the caveman championship in hiding penises for accessibility, and a voice over that would make you stop sorting your garbage. Plus, it kept calling me Mama, which unnerved me. Next! [clink!]

I feel like this is one of the most accessible Terrence Malick films I've seen from him in a while. Yes, it's basically a documentary poem, but it's through the visuals that Terrence Malick shows just how capable a filmmaker he is. He doesn't show us anything new, but his compositions are beautiful in places.

In the visually arresting documentary Voyage of Time: Life's Journey, Terrence Malick serves up meditative cinematic images of space and nature that are often breathtaking to watch. In contrast to that eternal calmness, it depicts the powerful force of the elements, and especially the negative impact of humans on the cycle of life. Everything is underscored by heavenly beautiful music and at times accompanied by spiritual commentary delivered by the hauntingly rocking voice of Cate Blanchett. (80%)
