Summary: The film follows a hypothetical proposition: a group of astronauts are circling the earth in a spacecraft, but they cannot return, as our planet has become uninhabitable. The cause of this remains open - all-out war, outbreak of a new disease beyond control, radiation after the complete disappearance of the ozone layer, or whatever. The crew of the spacecraft has to find a more hospitable place out there in space, and releases a probe from their cargo bay, Galileo. But Galileo - after sending back very disquieting data - has to be sent on a suicide mission. (Warner Herzog Filmproduktion)

"Thirty-four years after Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Werner Herzog remains enthralled by the marvelous, mysterious power of nature." - Nick Schager

Humanity is insignificant in the grand scheme of nature. Even as someone fascinated with all things extra-terrestrial, I found the ideas here a bit thin. Extraordinary footage combined with awesome music - par for the course with Herzog - is more than enough to keep my attention, though. An interesting experiment, but I prefer Lessons of Darkness.

What happens when Werner Herzog gives a crazy homeless guy a fifth of dollar-store whiskey and an hour's worth of random early 90s NASA footage and tells him to narrate whatever the hell he wants? And what happens when you take the results and set them to violin-driven Middle-Eastern tribal droning, coupled with a title sequence that looks like it was done using the effects available in a pre-installed version of Home DVD Maker? I'm sure you've guessed by now.

Typical Herzog, mixing Nasa and earth's nature as a sci-fi documentary, accompanied with the characteristically Herzog nature wha-wha music. Weird stuff, but this time I was not as impressed as Herzog's other work.

The whole weirdness of this experiment was much in line with my taste but it certainly isn't for everyone. I don't know how anyone could be bored during the documentary footage with music of this level; even for Herzog, it is amazing. My appreciation for this is unending.

The underwater scenes, although they start to try your patience, ARE beautiful; however, the space shuttle clips are pointless and dull. It's a real chore to get through the first half of the movie and get to the underwater stuff, which in itself would probably be more interesting from a documentary viewpoint rather than within the confines of Dourif's hokey narrative. There's an ecological message underpinning the whole thing that doesn't really move me either.

Kind of a chore at times, but I mostly enjoyed it. It would've benefitted from more screen time with Brad Dourif. The DVD is worth owning for the commentary by Herzog and Dourif (with Norman Hill mediating of course), and for the interviews.

Herzog doing sci-fi with stock-material fron NASA and some diving-clips under the ice. Weird, but it all works somehow.

Brad Dourif's narration and character doesn't always work, but the images themselves are so visually arresting that it's next to impossible to not at least be impressed with the film. Lyrical, poetic, practically religious.

It's Herzog doing Science Fiction, what did you expect? I enjoyed the bit on chaotic transport, and Brad Dourif was great.
