Average Rating: 
Rating: - wholly engrossing and rewarding
Baraka is nothing less than a stunningly beautiful film, with some of the most amazing cinematography of people, landscapes, rituals and cities that you're ever likely to see. Watching it, a viewer loses all sense of time and place and is transported to the hauntingly celebratory visions of our incredibly varied planet.
No dialogue or plot needed, just arresting imagery and ethereal music. If you're looking for something new that is an experience in itself, you will be happy to own this ... Read More
Rating: - stunning work of art
It's a stunning work of art brought to life in its best form yet. I haven't seen the transfer for the dvd version, but I did check out the blu-ray one and it's amazing. If you have the dough, pony up for a blu-ray player and get the blu-ray version of Baraka; you won't be disappointed.
The film itself is brilliant. I don't find it as moving as Koyaanisqatsi, but it's powerful nontheless. Stearns' music is great and complements the visuals perfectly. This is a precursor to films like winged migration, ... Read More
Rating: - Landmark film offers last peak for DVD in Hi-Def age.
Much has been said in the past 16 years of the film itself, so I review the specifics of this version. The newest (and likely final) DVD edition comes from the transfer intended primarily for the Blu-Ray release. By all means, if you possess a Blu-Ray player, get that disc.

The boasted 8K UltraDigital HD transfer provides enough information for down-scaling to DVD specs without too significant ... Read More
Rating: - ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF ALL TIME
Mesmerizing, stunning, a little surreal. Literally like walking around parts of the world recording it. Without saying a word, it speaks volumes.
Rating: - Baraka
By far one of the most inspirational and moving films I have ever seen. For years, I have shared and recommended this film to all my friends and family. Being an animal lover, rescuer and protector, the scene with the baby chicks was a bit disturbing as was the one with the overloaded donkey, but overall, this is one of my all time favorite films.
