Sorry but this is pretty much the stuff that I see from 100's of timelapse and nature videographers that post daily on Vimeo and Youtube. I think Malick sponsored this as a favor to one of his fans-turned-Broll photographers. Anyone can roll 100's of hours of footage with a digital camera these days and find something to edit from out of it. This was not the case some years ago, and it shows, with more careful projects which this was clearly trying to copy, (See the great Baraka, for example). I think Malick's involvement got better music to edit to than otherwise would have been, and got it out to at least basic streaming, but you'd never see this in a theater when it's all, basically, available free and honestly, gets pretty boring fast. The fans of this are mostly camera techs and other nature photo guys who are likely the ones voting this up.
