Disappointing work from Malick, who I admired so much in "The Thin Red Line", "Days of Heaven" and "The tree of life." The only saving grace in this work -- great choice of music as in all Malick films, mostly Arvo Part and Beethoven. I prefer Godfrey Reggio's "Qatsi trilogy" to this Malick venture. Even Kubrick surpassed Malick in the early man depictions in "2001--A space odyssey" compared to Malick in this film. The editing in this film and in "Song to Song" is incredibly pedestrian.

I'm a actually a Malick Lover. I love the way he gives time to scenes and cut short beautiful sequences. Some movies are just unbelievable beautiful.

in "Voyage of Time" are some fantastic shots but after I watched "The Tree of Life" I find it a little boring sometimes. Some scenes are too long, too slow and sometimes the dinosaurs looked pretty much like CGI. I didn't like that. There are some time travels - back and forth - which is nice and makes you compare and see what happened from one point to another. But the "now" often looked like filmed from a mobile cam which I do not appreciate. The voice of Cate Blanchett comes from the off and whispers some things but it'S quite hard to understand what that means when you watch the pictures. Actually I felt like I wouldn't need the voice. The pictures would be enough to me.

But the movie is definitly on unusual documentary and I would recommend it to documntary fans who like to see some experimental documentary stuff. It's definitly a good movie, but not the best thing T. Malick ever made. Maybe.. you should watch it in an IMAX cinema. I did not do that... so that could be a point I did wrong. I watch the bluray version.

This movie is like a meditation over time. You cannot watch this movie with expectation of what it may taught you about time. Instead, you should watch it without any expectation and just feel the visuals and sound. Everything is as real as it can be, and as touching as it can get. This is truly a masterpiece about time.
