He specialises in stories about impossible dreams and defying nature and for his latest film Werner Herzog turns to the most ambitious, abominable creation of them all: the internet. Oct 27, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Herzog plays intellectual explorer, notching up points of view like a kid in a cerebral candy store. Oct 25, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

As long as Herzog continues to mouth his mysterioso epiphanies, it can't be all bad. Sep 2, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Not [Werner Herzo's] best but he's engaging enough to make it a fun watch. Apr 11, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It's hard not to get a little incredulous when Herzog waxes all end-of-days about soccer-playing trash cans, or when he lingers with horror on an extremely frail robot unscrewing an empty jar ("Soon it vill be unscrewing youuuuu," he seems to whisper). Mar 31, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Although far from perfect, this fragmented, curious and cautious tale of our connected world makes for essential viewing. Mar 14, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The internet has fundamentally changed the lives of every single person on the Earth, and such a seismic shift in how people live their lives fascinates Herzog, and we're lucky enough that he wishes to share his fascination with the rest of us. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Despite being beautifully shot, it's not one of the director's best. Herzog should have understood that to the new god he's trying to uncover, tweeting and praying are the same thing. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Werner Herzog studies modern technology as only he can.
Super Reviewer
Werner Herzog does some light documentary musings about the greatest invention of modern times (like about how nobody, no sci-fi nerd writer, saw it coming, while flying cars have yet to materialize). It's a nice evening's entertainment but little more than that. F'instance there's a peek at folks who become addicted to the net, but nada is said, projected, about how being on is the wave of the (ant colony) future.
Really smart people talking about scary things. Only Herzog could have made this movie. (8-28-16)
