Much like Fata Morgana, this is the side of Herzog's films I'm not too fussed about. Its dreamlike footage of space and underwater are mesmerising and the sci-fi story narrated by Dourif was also strangely captivating. I also loved the music, the problem is that none of it really...( read more)

Critic Reviews
The director calls the film a 'science-fiction fantasy,' but it's really a languid meditation on human impermanence. full review
