“Voyage Of Time” Trailer Is Here : Terrence Malick Embarks On His Most Ambitious Journey Ever

To be honest, I never really thought this day would come. Voyage of Time is a film that Terrence Malick aficionados have become overly familiar with over the years, but one that little promise that it might actually ever be released. The documentary, which is a celebration of life and covers the grand history of the cosmos, picked up considerable steam while Malick was putting together his masterpiece The Tree of Life, and now here we are, with a genuine Voyage of Time trailer right in front of us.

The picture is finally complete and set for release in theaters on October 7th, and it looks absolutely glorious. Brad Pitt narrates this trailer (as well as the film), and the imagery on display is heavenly—one can only imagine what it’ll look like in full IMAX glory. And can we just take a moment to praise the fact that this isn’t in 3D and thus won’t suffer from darkening or dulling the image whatsoever?

In true Malick fashion, the release of Voyage of Time is not so simple. It’ll be available in two very different formats. Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience is a 40-minute, massive-screen adventure narrated by Pitt which “immerses audiences directly into the story of the universe and life itself.” That film will be shown exclusively in IMAX theaters, but if you want to also see the longer version, Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey runs 90-minutes in length, is narrated by Cate Blanchett, and “takes audiences on a poetic and provocative ride full of open questions.” That iteration of the film will be shown in traditional theaters.

Me? I’ll be seeing both versions at least once. For now, behold the Voyage of Timetrailer below :
