Well what I mean is, for example: there's that intergalactic meeting between the world leaders, which we're supposed to be immersed in (well the music is incredible) but we have a bunch of people on stilts in a warehouse, not really trying to visually create what it's trying to convey.
Perhaps it's just me but I don't feel as though Karlheinz was intending to create something THAT visually abstract, with his highly ambitious and sort of esoteric cosmic opera cycle.
What do you think?
