Peter Bradshaw Guardian [Malick's] style is still urgent and distinctive and his question is perfectly valid: "Why is there something rather than nothing?" Rated: 3/5 Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Awesome? Maybe not. But intriguing? Oh my yes. Rated: 3/4 Nov 7, 2016 Full Review Kate Taylor Globe and Mail A lyrical account of Earth's evolution ... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine An immersive, emotional and sensorial experience. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Brett McCracken The Gospel Coalition A short but sprawling cantata that functions as a sort of Cliff's Notes capstone to Malick's 45-year filmmaking career. Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Frank Ochieng SF Crowsnest Whether you are a committed tree-hugger or techno-titan at large, one thing is definitely clear--Malick's adventurous 'Voyage' is worth exploring with a conscientious compass at the environmental hip.

Cem Y Watched this on Mubi years later, and loved the way it was presented: slow and fast at the same time (like how cosmos moves vs the human life) with spectacular images and great narration. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Boring pretentious 'herp-derp-poetry'. Some nice images but not to pay a theatre ticket for it. Leave this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Voyage of Time contributes more as a poetic piece than informative documentary, and its wideness of interpretations allows for a wide array of self reflection in our place in the universe. A visually spectacular journey that covers every step of creation, this should only be experienced on the biggest of screens possible. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Simon T Terrence Malick oscillates between the sublime - Badlands, The New World - and the diabolical - The Thin Red Line and his longer version of this Voyage of Time. But this IMAX short is almost perfect. A meditation, lustrously photographed in locations all over the planet, with a glorious soundtrack, and the shorter running time forces Malick to curb his tendency towards pomposity. Only Malick's written narration - voiced by producer Brad Pitt - risks bathos. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Terrance Malick takes us on a journey throughout time, from our very beginnings in space to the evolution of life and our times. Narrated by Hollywood superstar; Brad Pitt with a very philosophical undertone to go with the initial explanation of talking these concepts to a child. As an Imax experience, with the initial picture quality and immaculate detail captured by the outstanding cinematography, the film is a gorgeous wonder to look at and experience throughout it's 45 minute run-time. It may be short but it showcases a lot, from the cosmic activity of the universe, earth's beginning's, evolution of the landscape, life and to question our important place here on this earth as one thing of many in the universe. I didn't find it all that surprising nor did I think the film offered any deeper thought than the philosophical nature the narration was offering in conjunction to the imagery it was capturing. Nonetheless, this is what Terrance Malick is doing best these days, while it doesn't push any boundaries like 'The Tree of Life', it's amazing to witness and be captivated by what Malick is implying. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely one of the worst voyages I've ever been on. Random selection of photos and CGI with no story line plot or continuity. No narration or explanation of timeline or intent. I wasted 45 minutes of my life sitting through this erratic IMAX abomination, all the time wondering if the director and producer were high when they (literally) threw it together. Five people in the theatre. Apparently, I'm the last to know. #cantbelievehowbaditwas Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
