Bob Dylan Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Yes, check out this review, I mean basically this is the first true 70mm transfer to Blu-ray that can match the original format, 8k scan and all. The DVD to show to everyone. Man those screenshots are amazing (my DVD version sucks compared to that http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews4...aka_blu-ray.htm Oh if you like that kind of movies, there is a website called http://www.spiritofbaraka.com/ :) I didn't even know that Ron Fricke is doing a NEW movie called "Samsara". Fuck yeah!

Fuck yeah! i know all too well, so well that i've been hearing news of Samsara for over 10 years. It seems to be in production limbo right now, but maybe im wrong Lascaille said: Was recently watching The Fall which seemed to borrow scenes directly from this film. yeah what the hell is with this movie? why did David Fincher and SPike Jonez put their name on this POS? The Fall was one of the most unimpressive movies i have seen in a while, and far less entertaining/interesting than the Cell (which was kind of a crap movie besides the visuals) there is an underrated non narrated documentary movie directed by Ron Fricke called 'Chronos' that is on Blue-ray and also looks amazing, not as ridiculous as Baraka but pretty close.

Guest zaphod Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 well, unfortunately music from other parts of the world has a certain connotation to it, now, that is synonymous with "world" music or whatever, so i can also see where you're coming from. i felt like the music worked most of the time but there were certainly parts where i cringed a bit.
