A stunning cinematic achievement.
Putting "Excellent" for plot and acting is kind of cheating since there isn't any plot or acting. That is likely the biggest hurdle most people will have to get over to enjoy this stunning film. Shot in 70mm, there is no dialogue, not even a narrator; the film is entirely comprised of just the audio and video of what was shot. But oh, what incredible wonders the camera did capture. And despite there not being a traditional story, there are certainly many themes touched upon throughout the film's runtime. The blu-ray's audio/visual quality is impeccable. It is truly a demo-worthy disc.

Exotic peoples and oil fires in 8K
If you've got a really expensive TV and a very loud sound system, this is a reference-quality Blu-ray. The original 65mm negatives were scanned at 8K resolution, which you'd initially concur doesn't matter on a 1080p Blu-ray, but here we are and it turns out you're wrong. So invite all your friends over to see this thing, and get an expensive TV if you don't already have one.

Stunning visuals, meditative film
This film will not be for everyone, as it is a story told through visuals, without dialogue. This does not mean that it is non-narrative. There is a definite point of view and linear progression to the film. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, and the juxtaposition of images are quite startling and innovative at times. My only quibble, and a minor one at that, is the lack of disc extras, outside of an informative making-of documentary.

Like Ebert said, a disc any collector should have!
This is the first film ever digitally scanned at the 8k resolution, that alone warrants any collector, including 4K UHD collectors, to get this disc! I wish this had HDR but it still looks fantastic, there isn’t talk to have this rereleased in 4K so I would get this while you can!

Something Different, Something Amazing
A showcase blu-ray. Mastered in 8K ! If you let it happen, this unusual film taps into a different part of the brain. It can be watched again and again and you will have a different experience each time.
