Don't get me wrong. The PQ is the best that I have seen to date on Blu-ray and the story is intriguing but I am so glad that I did not make a blind buy. There are a lot of great things about this movie, but I guess I wasn't expecting the scenes of sheer beauty coupled with the horrors of mankind. (And yes I realize the director's intent was to show the complete range of human interconnectedness- good and bad.)

I'm glad I watched it once but I doubt I see it again. Anyone else have this experience with Baraka?

Yes I had a similar experience. I thought the pq was great but the movie itself bored me and I fell asleep. It is something I would not see again too. I actually did a blind buy on this because of all the rave reviews but after watching it I decided to sell/trade it. I ended up trading it for Lucky Number Slevin Import
