A masterpiece!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Tom lowe is a big Director who has created the first 4k-resolution movie to ever be sold to the public.
This movie has taken things to the next level and has introduced new issues into the movie market. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to watch this documentary and would like to thank Tom Lowe for his kindness and willingness to share his knowledge with people all over the world.
The camera work and imagery are truly breathtaking. Even without the big screen, you can feel the essence of nature,its beauty, and its spiritual connections. What a fantastic masterpiece!

Soothing art!
This compilation that lasts for approx. 40 minutes is something beyond just an ordinary movie! Filled with vivid graphics and grandiose background music which really soothed me like a boose! I'd be honest that this movie works like a melatonin boost before you sleep.
However, it would be perfect if there were less repetitive scenes which literally re-appeared for uncountable times! If the repetitiveness only happened in the beginning, then if should be fine, but it occurred through the whole part of this short movie.
And, yes, just like what somebody mentioned there in the review section as well, this story lacks the touch of a story. If just a nice story is included, then it might have been better. BUT, I shall be honest that if a "bad" story is added to this already masterpiece of work, some seemingly nagging critics out there might as well rate the movie bad just because the story looks like something they've seen before.

Nicely done, poor on the story
Very well made in visual and technical terms, the photography is great, but there is a big lack of some basic story which would guide viewer through the whole movie. It surprised me that someone who would spent so much effort, time and also money on taking time lapse and video shots, would not think thoroughly about the plot and what kind of message will he deliver throughout the movie. There are some nice, sparky moments in the movie, but just when I thought it will start to become really interesting it continued with some unrelated footage. It would be really, really good movie, just if there would be followup on some story, any story.
Amazing spectacle; no story required
I'm a bit of a fan of good photography, and I enjoyed films like Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi. Whilst these two examples have a theme, however loosely you might interpret it, Timescapes is all about the spectacle. Don't be thrown off by negative comments because it doesn't have a story - it doesn't need one. Half the films in Hollywood are all visuals and sound effects with little story, and at least Timescapes has these qualities without pretending to be anything else.
It is expertly shot, beautifully scored, and I found it to be a rousing film that can be enjoyed just for the craft alone. Whether you are a fan of photography, astronomy, or just like something cutting edge, this film will not disappoint.

A Sublime piece of ART and sheer hardwork!!!
okay this is not for every joe!!! if u imagine that it took more than 12-15 minutes to just capture one second in this movie ... it took hours n hours waiting on the road side staring into NOTHINGNESS for something ... the right moment ... it took hundreds of man hour work to create those smooth transitions it took over 8 hours to cover 1000m on a vehicle which would otherwise took less than 36 secs on average it took days n days to compile all those shots ... spend hours on each frame ... developing it ... i mean this movie dnt need any story live ... script or any thing if some one realizes how much effort has gone into every second he views thats the whole story behind it ... i read few comments saying it has no story line :) what story u wana listen when u r seeing breathtakingly beautiful milky-way rising from east??? ... n someone even questioned the soundtrack :) well half of the world might not like a chinesse block buster just for the reason they couldn't understand a word ... it doesn't mean the movie was bad ... actually the viewers were ignorant ... they didn't understand it ... it was beyond their mental perception n understanding in short ... u can only appreciate something when u can see it with ur own eyes n soul ... this piece of art may be just a random compilation of various scenes with no link to it ... but for ages ... man used to worship fire and sun just because he didn't understand them properly ... one of the best video done by any time lapse videographer ...
