Amazing to watch, only those hippies dancing at the party ruined this amazing film

This compilation that lasts for approx. 40 minutes is something beyond just an ordinary movie! Filled with vivid graphics and grandiose background music which really soothed me like a boose! I'd be honest that this movie works like a melatonin boost before you sleep. However, it would be perfect if there were less repetitive scenes which literally re-appeared for uncountable times! If the repetitiveness only happened in the beginning, then if should be fine, but it occurred through the whole part of this short movie. And, yes, just like what somebody mentioned there in the review section as well, this story lacks the touch of a story. If just a nice story is included, then it might have been better. BUT, I shall be honest that if a "bad" story is added to this already masterpiece of work, some seemingly nagging critics out there might as well rate the movie bad just because the story looks like something they've seen before.

I'm not sure what all the rock concert dancing had to do with this, but the nighttime visuals of the Milky Way and the time lapses of the sky were brilliant. Well done.

Tom Lowe's Timescapes is nothing less than amazing. Every piece of this film is aesthetically pleasing and will keep you entertained the whole way through. The people complaining in these other reviews are just being overcritical. I guess they can't respect a beautiful piece of cinematography. There really is not story, but Tom didn't need one at all, the sequences speak for themselves. The time that was put in to making this is a story of its own. Watching this on a Google TV looked absolutely stunning, it was super crisp and the picture was just super pleasing all together. If you enjoyed Baraka/Samsara you will definitely enjoy this. In my book it's a must watch.

okay this is not for every joe!!! if u imagine that it took more than 12-15 minutes to just capture one second in this movie ... it took hours n hours waiting on the road side staring into NOTHINGNESS for something ... the right moment ... it took hundreds of man hour work to create those smooth transitions it took over 8 hours to cover 1000m on a vehicle which would otherwise took less than 36 secs on average it took days n days to compile all those shots ... spend hours on each frame ... developing it ... i mean this movie dnt need any story live ... script or any thing if some one realizes how much effort has gone into every second he views thats the whole story behind it ... i read few comments saying it has no story line :) what story u wana listen when u r seeing breathtakingly beautiful milky-way rising from east??? ... n someone even questioned the soundtrack :) well half of the world might not like a chinesse block buster just for the reason they couldn't understand a word ... it doesn't mean the movie was bad ... actually the viewers were ignorant ... they didn't understand it ... it was beyond their mental perception n understanding in short ... u can only appreciate something when u can see it with ur own eyes n soul ... this piece of art may be just a random compilation of various scenes with no link to it ... but for ages ... man used to worship fire and sun just because he didn't understand them properly ... one of the best video done by any time lapse videographer ...

There are movies and there is cinematography. First of both are made to entertain while the second is pure art. "Timescapes" surely belongs to the latter. Until now there were two motion pictures of such a breathtaking visual power - Baraka and Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. While Baraka has the most complex story and Home delivers an ecological message, Timescapes now completes this trilogy being the artistic one of that bunch. It's right, there is no clear story behind and the scenes seem to be some kind randomly cut but this does not really matter as each of them is a masterpiece of its own. It can be compared to an exhibition of pictures, all of them show the workmanship of a great master while each is independent and not an element of a series. Time lapse photography is an artistic expression and it is pure joy to watch it put on a screen in brilliant perfection. However do not get lost in wrong expectations, TimeScapes has not been filmed to be an entertaining blockbuster, instead it wants to show you the beauty of motion pictures - either in slow-mo or time compressed views. So if you liked Baraka or Home you will most likely also enjoy this work. From the technical point of view there is nothing to complain about, the BluRay version is of high quality, detail sharpness is outstanding and the soundtrack fits very well to the pictures. It is my humble opinion that motion pictures like these are important, to set a contrast to all those movies made for commerce in order to entertain the crowd. It is a fascinating expression of art and for anyone interested in cinematographic art a must see - possibly one of the best works of 2012.

I'm a bit of a fan of good photography, and I enjoyed films like Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi. Whilst these two examples have a theme, however loosely you might interpret it, Timescapes is all about the spectacle. Don't be thrown off by negative comments because it doesn't have a story - it doesn't need one. Half the films in Hollywood are all visuals and sound effects with little story, and at least Timescapes has these qualities without pretending to be anything else. It is expertly shot, beautifully scored, and I found it to be a rousing film that can be enjoyed just for the craft alone. Whether you are a fan of photography, astronomy, or just like something cutting edge, this film will not disappoint.
