The concept of the movie was taken from Godfrey Reggio's "Qatsi" trilogy (the first two movies of which were already finished at the time). So, though the imagery is truly spectacular, it is inappropriate to call the film "a masterpiece". It's just a good film of the genre started by "Koyaanisqatsi".

    Your argument is invalid; though it depends on a precise definition of an incredibly subjective word. In any case, that's like saying The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is merely a 'good film of the genre' relative to whatever the hell the first Western was. Genre and format are irrelevant to whether a film can be argued as a masterpiece or not.
