The wordless film states its position without unclarity. Scenes of the pristine earth are juxtaposed with brutal technical interventions. Yet for most of the picture’s length this opposition unwittingly disappears. With sufficient pace even human activities change into repeating patterns playing out predetermined laws. The metropolis beats like a metronome, accompanied by the daunting repetition of Glass’ brilliant score. The vision of humanity so presented leaves little to hope for, and as the Atlas rocket explodes in the last scene as a symbol for the inevitable destruction of promethean progress, indeed a container of ashes thrown from the sky, the viewer stands up to follow the crowd leaving the theatre to continue along the preset path.
