Film jest poetycką próbą sportretowania świata, ze wszystkimi jego wynaturzeniami i problemami. W pojawiających się w przyspieszonym tempie pięknych i fascynujących ujęciach cywilizacja ukazana została jako konkurentka natury. Nieludzkie oko kamery pokazuje obrazy niszczenia i destrukcji, zmuszające do refleksji na temat zagrożeń współczesnego świata. Koyaanisqatsi to także filmowa medytacja nad zależnością natury od nowoczesnej cywilizacji przemysłowej. (Gutek Film)

Koyaanisqatsi could just as well mean "Man is an idiot" in the Hopi language, because that is exactly the message of this film. After a few minutes, the initial fascination with nature is replaced by a depressing amazement at what numbskulls homo sapiens are, that we can outdo even lemmings in our self-destructive tendencies... And so on. While more than half of the atmosphere is created by Glass's great music, the material recorded and collected by Godfrey Reggio is not far behind. The ending with the rocket definitely kept me in my chair and made me sit there motionless for a good ten minutes after the credits.

A wordless documentary, with only music, a camera, and everything interconnected. It’s a documentary about the world and a documentary that has something to say. Without words. It has depth, and that has to be appreciated. Man has changed the world in his own image, but the question is whether that image is better than what existed before man. Not everyone would agree on that.
