About this item
Amazon.com
Canyon Dreams aspires to reach the heights of the groundbreaking documentary Koyaanisqatsi. But for one, this 40-minute physical examination of the glory of the Grand Canyon features the music of New Age staple Tangerine Dream on the soundtrack instead of composer Philip Glass. And it hasn't the power or the political comment to match its mentor's visual bite. This awe-filled travelogue rarely sways from the formula set by that more original and astute cautionary documentary, yet it also fails to snatch its chance at taking a stand. Broken into six segments--Shadow Flyer, Canyon Carvers, A Matter of Time, Water's Gift, Canyon Voices, and Sudden Revelation--this reverent and staid view of the natural wonder that is Colorado's Grand Canyon results in a postcard-pretty film that quickly loses its impact. It sifts through a bland water, desert, and air approach to the natural monument and though in its first segment Canyon Dreams offers a glimpse into the architectural power of the place from the alien eye of a glider--which could be likened to a first glimpse at Mars--the prevailing shorts have little to offer that exalt the sandstone striations. Canyon Dreams opts to trivialize its subject, turning it into a Hallmark card rather than acting as a message-bearing warning: this spiritual sight could easily become an endangered species. What should be a strong reminder of our tenuous hold on the planet becomes a soothing pat on the head that complacently placates and massages the senses rather than incites viewers to feel or act. --Paula Nechak
