Even though the score is amazing and the cinematography is phenomenal, just like Koyaanisqatsi. It's no Koyaanisqatsi. Now, don't get me wrong, I believe that this was an awesome second instalment to the trillogy, but to me, it was just really unengaging, and it also lacked emotional depth in my opinion which is really unfortunate.
And for context, Powaqqatsi essentially explores the conflict in countries along with the impacts of industrialisation and modernisation in these countries, introducing new ways of living, hence the title's meaning "Life in transition" or "Parasitic way of life".
I really hoped that this would live up to Koyaanisqatsi, but unfortunately, it didn't.
