I would agree that the film is more style than substance. As I indicated, I did not think that the themes were particularly original. Having not seen the first two films, the style seemed original, to me. Certainly, had I, or other viewers, seen the two earlier films first, I, or they, may certainly conclude that this film's style was not particularly original, either. But I was impressed that I could be entertained strictly by viewing images without dialog for almost an hour and a half.

Reggio notes on the special features section of the D.V.D. that he never intended to make another film in this series, but that Glass convinced him that things were better in threes, and so he agreed to make another film. Glass stated that in approximately 1/2 of the film, the music was created first, and the images placed on the screen after, which is the opposite of most films, where the image is created first, then the music layered on top to support the visual image.

I posted about the film not because I thought it was a must see film. Rather, I thought it unique, and because it contained a well recorded and performed score that provided more than explosions, for which we audiophiles can appreciate.
