Era la prima volta che mi cimentavo nella visione di un vero "finto documentario", le immagini sono affascinanti la trovata di utilizzare immagini dell'antartide per rendere immagini "aline" è azzeccatissima. Geniale Herzog nel saperle scegliere e nel decidere di portare avanti questo lavoro anti-commerciale solo per il piacere della regia.

MCT:September 12, 2008Un capolavoro. Il più grande finto documentario che abbia mai visto. Il più originale film di fantascienza che abbia mai visto. Uno dei montaggi più geniali che abbia mai visto. Le immagini più belle della Terra che abbia mai visto...come se fosse un altro splendido pianeta... Geniale anche la scelta delle musiche sarde. Werner Herzog è uno dei registi più sottovalutati come questo film. Ma in realtà dietro tutto vi è genio e follia visionaria.

Herzog as artist and writer, suceeds in making one of the most interesting and bizzare sci-fi mockumentaries ever made, Herzog the director is just a bit out of step though. Like Criag Baldwin's films, Herzog's "Wild Blue Yonder" mixes documentary ar...(read more) chival footage, with a fictional narrative, and a few "new" scenes, about the secret history of a group of Aliens from an aquatic world called "The Wild Blue Yonder".
The aliens come to earth, with hopes of building great cities, and a large shopping mall...but as narrator "Brad Dourif" says "we sucked...that's right aliens suck!". No one shows up to the shopping malls a ruined American town, acts as stand in for the lost hopes and dreams of the aliens, some of whom take jobs at NASA in secret. Then when a space program is created with the intention of humans going to the aliens homeworld...well unfortunately that's when things, slow, way, way down.
Before this point in the movie theres a good rythmic balance between narration and found footage, that keeps the film lively, about as soon as Dourif is no longer the center of the story, Herzog relies far too heavily on his found footage. Nasa astornaugts float in space(though beatiful too long, and when they arrive Yonder, we see more stunning underwater cinematography that does look like a truly alien world, but again, it just goes on just too long.
An ambitious and at times fascinating film, where Herzog the writer beats out Herzog the director, it's usually the other way around.
"Have you any idea how vast the distance between stars is?", Dourif, the sucky alien asks, annoyed and frustrated, after going over Herzog's pet peeves like white mountain climbers stealing the dignity of the mountains and the domestication of pigs as the worst move in human history, and until this film, no I don't think I fully comprehended the vastness of the world. Which is a Herzog idea that comes up again and again, little people, big world, and its only those crazy obsessive driven individuals who can make dents in it, or at least the most interesting dents. -

I don't see why nobody likes this. I really liked it, even if it was kinda nonsensical. The shots were gorgeous and truly eye-pleasing. This was a treat for your inner mind and your eyes as opposed to the story itself. The colours were vibrant and captivating on the planet. And Brad Dourif... I wouldn't be surprised if he really was an alien with that performance.

MCT:August 5, 2007Sorry Herzog, but this scientific mess collage is nothing to be proud of. Actually I take that back. It may cure insomnia. Dourif is all right.

Equal parts amusing, confusing and bizzare. Works because I'm convinced that Brad Dourif actually is an alien.

oh Werner... pretty silly move here. Taking old miscellanious footage and smashing it together with a nonsensical dialogue coming from an old Billy Bibbit? interesting? possibly
