A documentary on how water shapes humanity.
With no narration or context, its subject matter comes across as dry, while the enviro-message is undermined by a yawn-inducing lack of urgency.
Flows slowly and sometimes stops.
It’s not as focused as its predecessor, but its best sequences rehydrate the mind.
Great for IMAX theatres, but it’s got the hypnotic, brain-emptying quality of a lava lamp.
