Typical Herzog artsy-fartsy crap - ultimately boring
5 June 2008
This is not a science fiction movie at all. It's some actors standing around on vacant lots blabbing some nonsense about how their great-great-great-etc. grandfathers came to earth and decided to build... wait for it... a Shopping Mall! Utterly ridiculous. There's some good NASA footage, but that footage would have been better used in a straightforward science documentary. Similarly, the footage of ice divers is excellent, but I found myself thinking that there must be an original soundtrack about ice diving that went with the footage, and would probably be much more interesting to listen to, since the footage didn't really have anything to do with the story line of the movie.

In summary, if you're into watching Werner Herzog play around with medium of film, maybe you'll enjoy this, but if you were expecting an actual movie, you'll be sadly disappointed.
