Title: Naqoyqatsi is a horrible film-and not at all worth seeing
Review: I doubt Reggio decided before doing Koyanisqatsi that he would create a total of 3 films-all which have no correlation whatsoever. I think it is false advertising to call these 3 films a "Trilogy" when the only thing they all have in common is the fact that it is all images and no dialogue. I watched this on DVD and saw that Reggio compiled a bunch of stock footage and just edited it creating a hodgepodge of meaningless, repetitive visuals that were lacking in originality.Koyanisqatsi was a great film, in my opinion. Unfortunately, Naqoyqatsi did not live up to my expectations and left me w/a poor impresson of Reggio as a director. My boyfriend and I scanned fast forward on the DVD and could not believe how nothing tied together. If people want to sit and assume, or buy into the idea that this is a masterpiece-then you are creatively challenged. The only way to find this remotely interesting is to drop some blotter or fungi and watch.
