 Under-rated addition to the series August 31, 2010
Barry Unlikely (UK)
It's true that the film lacks the freshness, originality and vibrancy of the first two films of the trilogy, and suffers from an overkill of what now looks like dated image processing and CGI. Nevertheless NAQOYQATSI contains not only some of the very best of Glass' scores, but some truly striking moments. The 'siduals' of corporate logos, the futility and unreality of war revealed by cross-cutting real events with video games, the almost prayer-like poses of slow motion crash test dummies within an air crash, and the astonishing morphing sequence of classical paintings. Those expecting a re-run of the former films will be disappointed. Those watching with new eyes and prepared to evaluate the film in its own right will be rewarded. And hell, it costs the same to buy as a night's rental of some god awful Hollywood pap! At the very least it's different and thought provoking.

Do you like shocking stuff? Do you like emotional images and up to the bone music? If you love the world where you live in, you will praise the qatsi trilogy. Enjoy the world while you still have it.

Given that Koya & Powa have lived for so so long and are beautiful masterpieces, Naqoy just isn't really up to the imagery we are used to. There's very little, if any, uniqueness to this; nothing much more I could do myself, unlike the first two films.
I think Philip Glass really needs to start evolving his music. He's barely written anything new for 20 years. C'mon Phil...! The arpeggiators are wearing thin. Look back to the Mid/Late 80's and remind yourself what you were doing then.
Powerful but not easy... September 6, 2008

I think film suffers the existance of the two easier-to-watch predecessors.
I think the music in this one is wonderful, the images are not as beautiful as the natural ones of Koia but equally strong - almost hypnotic at times. The logical thread is difficult to follow and it either needs repeted viewings or some external help. I couldn't get it.
What in my opinion spoiled it a bit are the recurrent similiarities with the previous movies (the approach is the same: music+imagery, the music is often veeeeery similar to Koia, some scenes of autos lights are a copy from Koia, etc...) which keep tempting an uncaptured viewer into thinking that this third release was merely a money-making exercise trying to capitalise on past successes.
I too like other reviewers was looking at the timer waiting for the end, but now I have it in the background as I am writing, and it's not bad at all...
My tokenworth for those who haven't watched any of the Qatsi? Watch them in reverse order... 1) Naqoy, 2) Powaq, 3) Koia. It would be great to get your comments.

The first two films in the sequence (Koy ... and Pow ...) are excellent - probably at the top of my favourite film list. This one is at the top of the biggest disappointments list. It could have been so much yet became so little. The initial two films have grave points to make bt manage to make then through stunning and dramatic works. This one fails in everything it looks to achieve. Through watching the entire film all I could do was keep looking at the "time remaining" display on the DVD hoping it your finish soon. Whilst I will not lend my Koy... and Pow... to anybody (too good to risk not getting them back) I will happily give this one away - which is a real shame.
