4/4  Stillness and Motion
Ron Fricke's meditative opus on birth, life and death is epic filmmaking without banality. Sheltered lolly-gaggers that believe 'Finding Nemo' to be a visual odyssey won't find an ounce of CGI in Fricke's celebration of culture, diversity ... (read full)

5/5 Beautiful
  by S. Letarte
Recommended by CNET as one of the top choices for blu-ray. It doesn't disappoint. Filmed in the highest resolution available. It's more like a visual meditation than a coherent film. It takes you on a sort of spiritual earthly journey without any dialogue.

5/5 Simply AMAZING
  by Eric Kitchen (far from America)
This Blu-ray version is simply outstanding, incredible, breathtaking and mesmerizing. I rarely recommend people buy a film but this one is truly worth every penny. If it were $50 or more I'd buy it. You can find many stories if you like in this film or none at all. I know it sounds shallow to simply watch it for the eye/ear candy but you can do that and walk away very satisfied. The cinematography, the editing, the music, the scenery, the flow is all beyond words. This is the way this film was meant to be. I bought the first DVD version years ago and it was a sheer piece of junk. I hesitated before purchasing this because some people had praised the first DVD and it was awful. This is the way the film was meant to be shown. The care and the quality that went into the scanning can be seen from the very first frame. So many older documentaries have been converted to Blu-ray and look horrible once you've seen the BBC's Planet Earth (many older films were not even properly cleaned so you see many artifacts like cracks, dust etc). Not in this version (ok, if you look very closely I think I found a few small dust artifacts in a couple of frames but barely noticeable).

Look, stop reading. Buy it and forget about it no matter the cost. This is the film I always imagined it should be. It is truly amazing that this film was shot in 1992. It looks like a modern BBC Hi-def production. Actually it's of an even better quality. You can tell that the people who did the re-mastering spent a great deal of time and effort to make this a reality. If I could give it 6 stars, this film would get it.

5/5 Amazing True Full HD content
  by Aziz Qambar (Bahrain)
I bought this few weeks ago to play it on my Sony PS3 Blu-ray system. The picture quality is amazing. Anyone who wants to have a true HD content with documentary of human and colorful places around earth. This is a must to have.

Please note that this video is commentary free, which means through out the film you will only be watching the Video and hearing only the relaxing music on the background.

A must have for all people in love with true HD films.

4/5 Baraka Blu-ray DVD review
  by KYDERBY
Incredible picture quality, best I've ever seen on a Blu-ray DVD. Had some female nudity with what I assume were African natives that did not offend but could have done without the nudity.

5/5 Visual Poetry!
  by Kalibr (Florida)
Baraka is a breathtaking global tour through 24 countries. This un-narrated film has no main story or plot. Instead, it uses dramatic cinematography to present a series of themes centered around the spirituality of man and nature. The movie is a montage of beautifully photographed scenes, played to a stirring soundtrack of ambient environmental sounds. I can only describe Baraka as visual poetry!

The 8k high-def scan from the original 70mm film is absolutely incredible, well worth the time-consuming process. If you own a high-end 1080p display, this blu-ray DVD is an absolute must-have.
