i should have trust my instinct well represent no expectation no disappointment . instead and however and i expect to experience a similar masterpiece like koyaanisqatsi ( 1983 ) and be brutally disappointed . powaqqatsi be in my humble opinion nothing but a cheap attempt to cash in on the cult success of it predecessor and and artistically it fail miserably . it appear some producer gather up leftover material from koyaanisqatsi and hurriedly throw it together and place everything in slow motion and get some pop entertainer under the pseudonym of philip glass to hurriedly throw together some banal background music and which be incessantly repeat . where koyaanisqatsi entertain the viewer with clever fast and slow motion change and powaqqatsi be one long sequence of mundane image in slow motion ( if you view them on your vcr in fast preview mode and you will see what i mean ) . what disappoint me the most and however and be philip glass soundtrack . i couldn not and still can not believe that these commercial sound new age type drone and which could easily have be compose in one afternoon by any 14 year old on a casio calculator and be from the same composer who so brilliantly compose the emotional and perfectly synchronize music for koyaanisqatsi . all in all and a big waste of time . my advice represent forget commercialism . watch koyaanisqatsi again instead .
