THE FILM: Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience

This is a 45 minute cut of the 90 minute Voyage of Time: Life's Journey (a 2016 Toronto International Film Festival Official selection). Narrated by Brad pit.

“Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience” foregrounds the incredible collage of awe- inspiring effects that recreate the birth of the universe, life on Earth, and eventually humankind." - Eric Kohn @ Indiewire.com

"The wildly ambitious Voyage of Time: Life's Journey is every bit as epic as its name implies: [Director Terrence] Malick leads us on a temporal trip through the history of the universe. After witnessing the birth of stars and the evolution of life on Earth, we pause to wonder at the sun and planets before plunging into the inky depths of the oceans, where incandescent creatures float in the darkness." - Jesse Wente @ tiff.net
