First, I love Werner Herzog. I am a very big fan of his and I also respect people taking chances and trying new ideas. But this smacks of someone barely even trying. It's just some ridiculous sci fi story thrown together and narrated while showing stock footage of deep sea diving and space station video. The story is so inconsistent to begin with and boring. "We came from Alpha Centauri and built a mall and no one shopped there." What the heck is that supposed to mean, and who cares? Half of the movie is stock footage of the space station and we are supposed to imagine these are astronauts traveling to a distant star that, as it was just explained to us, would take hundreds of generations to complete. I would say this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but even though I popped in a DVD and sat there for 90 minutes, 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.
