unless you are a liberal arts afficionado or a hippie or a pot smoker

My first review ever on iTunes. But I just have to say that watching this film on an LG OLED with an Atmos setup, takes it to another level. I’ve watched it before, but never like this. It’s the best advertisement for investing in a Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos setup.

Samsara is sanskrit for "the ever turning wheel of life". It seems like people go into this film thinking it's going to be like the Planet Earth series or something. It just shows the world to the viewer, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the horrid, as well as some of the ways in which nature gets raped by cultures who don't appreciate the beauty of existence (The chickens get slaughtered, sex dolls, etc). What you make of it is ultimately just what you make of the world. It's not some relativistic, eisogetical piece of modern art. It shows the cycle of death and rebirth as it literally is (which doesnt need words, hence the lack of narration). It couldnt be more obvious in the opening scene. A baby in the womb (life) where it cuts to a mumified man/woman (death), which sets the tone for the rest of the film. It blows my mind how short some people's attention spans are and their lack of ability to stitch the scenes together. Just put down your Transformers: Age of Extinction and take a step back for once, geez.

Intriguing, provocative and beautiful

Beautiful work, shows the world in a new perspective and helps show modern society really as it is today, and what we really take for granted in our world today.

The visuals are amazing / stunning / spectacular. That's it. There's no voice / background music / narrating in the movie. It's just a bunch of mind blowing video clips recorded in high resolution slapped together and made into a movie. Goes from one country to an another without any info as to where the video was shot (no on screen text either). I may have loved this movie if I was completely aware of the screensaver format (only visuals, no narration or music) before I started watching this movie. Tomatometer fail. iTunes movie suggestion fail. 99¢ rental - glad I didn't spend more that this Duration watched: 10 minutes (couldn't watch more than that)

An inspiring meditative voyage. Loved it!!

No words just what is and the beauty that lies within that.

This movie has no plot, so can you really call it a movie? It’s more like a music video but wait, music videos have more plot than this. It’s generally undefinable but you can say one thing about it, it’s crap.
