I have to echo others who've pointed out that this is not a documentary. It is an abstract feature film, a poem, an epic non-linear meditative piece about the wonder of nature and existence.I was almost put off purchasing this by some negative reviews (I missed the theatrical release and could only find a Dutch import available on bluray) but if you are in any way a fan of Terrence Malick you should really appreciate this as much as I did. It reminded me as much if the nature scenes of The Thin Red Line as it did moments of The Tree of Life.The narration is subtle, infrequent and not at all irritating as some have suggested. The words are few and far between and serve to bind the images together to deliver a message of wonder, respect, at times despair, but ultimately peace over our place in the world. I know that sounds pretentious but I really did find it profound and inspiring. The images committed to film are also some of the best I've ever seen and it is a privallege to have it captured and to witness it. I accept some people will find this film insufferable, but if you have an appreciation for visual spectacle and/or poetry and/or existential thought and meditation then this film is made for you.

A lot of work for something that slow. I don't have patience to watch this film, so I skipped every 10 seconds every 1 second and I don't feel that I missed much. There was a lot of beautiful scenery that I can really appreciate. This film must have taken years to produce. It was really artistic but very boring, the narrating was weird, I don't claim to understand what the film was about, and I don't think that I should be the one to tell how the narrating should be, but something a little more informative could have helped on the boredom. Skipping every 10 seconds made it very interesting and beautiful.I give it a 6/10 because I watched it in about 10-15 minutes, if I had to watch it all without skipping anything I would probably have turned it off and perhaps given it less than 4/10.

This documentary jumped around so much, present (homeless people), past, present, past again, I got lost trying to figure out what was going on, the narration had nothing to do with the documentary, Mother, where are you, Mother, speak to me, it would have done better with no narration. People are going to say, Mother, is Mother Earth but the film started in the present and Cate Blanchard is asking where are you with the cameraman sticking the camera in homeless people's faces, that is when I thought this film has nothing to do with Voyage of Time.

This IS the BEST documentary I have seen in my entire life. One who seeks the truth, will know its true meaning. Thank you to all who made this documentary possible, I feel like the luckiest person alive right now to have witnessed it. It is simply the truth. I will watch it many many times more.
