Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Joolz40 If you can recall the worst movie you've ever seen and multiply that by a large number, you will a get a sense of how bad this is. What made this movie tolerable was reading the comments by the people, who like myself hated it. Some of them were so funny and entertaining I ended up reading all the negative reviews while the "movie" was playing in the background as a split screen window. I could feel my brain cells dying about 10 mins into this movie, before I realised that I HAD to do something else while watching this movie to avoid possible long term brain damage.So dear friends and critics, I thought Id make this review a little different and compile a list of my favourite negative reviews for this movie, which are certainly far more entertaining than the movie itself. Enjoy ! "the story had no consistency, plausibility, character, insight, or intelligence of any sort. It was like someone farting in your face and expecting you to think it was life-enhancing." LOL"Add to that, an utterly annoying soundtrack of Nazi-era German soprano/opera, and some tribal folk music - all mixed at levels that make you cringe - and you have a recipe for agony." OUCH"So to summarize; Take about bunch of stock footage off the internet, edit it together in no particular order, add some exerts of interviews with some NASA eggheads that you found on Discovery, slap on the most annoying music you can find, and then hire an actor to narrate a "space story", which has nothing to do with the images or footage that you are seeing - and then you'll have this movie." SPOT ON !"I struggled to restrain myself from laughing at how absurdly bad it was. My companion and I then joined the steady stream of escapees about 40minutes in." LOL" But I'm sorry to say I don't do drugs of drink copious amounts of alcohol. So I must obviously be unable to hallucinate in seeing any merit in this film " HEAR HEAR" I technically wouldn't even call it a movie. It also isn't a documentary. It is one of a kind, a very very bad kind." LOL , YES INDEED A VERY VERY VERY BAD KINDWhy should we be required to exert effort in critiquing that which involved NO EFFORT? GOOD POINThis is a desperately poor, indulgent, cheap, empty, irritating, unwatchable concoction of clips tied together with an infantile plot and dressed up with some ethnic chanting intended to make it seem meaningful and spiritual or something. APT and TO THE POINTThese entertaining reviews helped preserved my sanity while watching. ( sorry I meant enduring) this movie and I hope they will help preserve yours too.

InterArmaEnimSilentLeges The only possible reason why anyone would ever watch this god-awful "movie" is because Herzog's name is on it. It's around 1 hour 15 minutes of off-the-shelf NASA stock footage - which anyone can download off the internet - along with exerts from some interviews of half-baked, dreamy-eyed scientist talking about outlandish theories that may or may not be feasible in about 5000 years. And these interviews, I'm sure, are not meant for this production either, but simply lectures from some Discovery Channel science program.Add to that, an utterly annoying soundtrack of Nazi-era German soprano/opera, and some tribal folk music - all mixed at levels that make you cringe - and you have a recipe for agony.Then you have the ridiculous narrative, or "story". Now, I like Brad Dourif as much as the next guy. Actually I think he's a great actor, and the total failure of this "movie" is certainly not his fault. But the narrative that he is forced to act out is really far, far beyond silly. I mean, take "Invasion of the body snatchers" times "Independence Day" powered by "The Wizard of Oz", and you'll still have a story that is more believable than this thing! So to summarize; Take about bunch of stock footage off the internet, edit it together in no particular order, add some exerts of interviews with some NASA eggheads that you found on Discovery, slap on the most annoying music you can find, and then hire an actor to narrate a "space story", which has nothing to do with the images or footage that you are seeing - and then you'll have this movie.I guess Herzog was running behind on his mortgage and asked himself "what can I come up with before the end of the week?". Well, this is it! You have been warned.

frankenbenz I made the mistake of thinking I was about to watch the Herzog documentary Rescue Dawn was based on, but i soon found out I was wrong...very wrong. Instead, I spent 81 minutes watching "a science fiction fantasy" titled Wild Blue Yonder. In WBY Brad Dourif play an alien who narrates his way through NASA and arctic diving footage that Herzog interestingly uses completely out of context. The context is entrusted to Dourif's character who spins an elaborate yarn of human space exploration to his former home, the exploration of this distant planet and the astronaut's return to a future, pre-historic earth almost 200 years later.WBY is essentially a found footage film, albeit an imaginative and interesting one. The highlight is the diving footage which truly feels like exploration of a alien world. The footage is hypnotic, perfectly accompanied by the equally hypnotic score by composer Ernst Reijsiger along with a song thrown indy rock genius Jim O'Rourke.Herzog sandwiches interviews with real-life mathematicians between the found footage segments, adding credibility to Dourif's yarn. Yet overall there is a sense of tongue-in-cheek behind WBY -- Herzog obviously doesn't want us to take things too seriously. But if he doesn't, then what does he want? By taking these images out of context he forces us to shift our perspective and see them with new eyes. He succeeds and by doing so, he begs the question: why don't we always change our perspective when looking at the world around us? If we did there's a good chance we would be less likely to take things for granted and instead we would see the world with the amazement of a child's eyes.http://eattheblinds.blogspot.com/

Fpi Are you interested in astronomy, space travel, extraterrestrial life, science fiction etc. but find Star Wars and its likes boring because of their commercial nature and relatively small amount of action directly linked to the aforementioned subjects? In that case, you definitely need to check this out. It's mainly fiction, although certain parts are real-life scientists telling us in a very technical manner how space travel can take place. The story is narrated by the actor that played Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings part 2. He has an extremely intense presence that helps you find that hypnotic, dreamy state that Herzog seemingly always tries to push the viewer into. People who aren't used to a non-standard narrative structure, however, may of course become bored. But never mind them.The soundtrack is absolutely incredible, including an African solo singer, a few Sardinian male singers and a cello. Even without the narrative bit, the music would have made this a fantastic movie! Dreaming of other worlds is fun. And this film isn't as disturbing or nightmarish as Herzog's other stuff. The Wild Blue Yonder is a must for Herzog and science fiction/astronomy fans, but the IDOL/Hollywood crowd should probably look elsewhere.
