Predivan film. Svaki put kad pogledam Herzogov film sjetim se zašto ga obožavam. Čovjek je pjesnik, način na koji on vidi svijet je čaroban. Ne vjerujem kako je on uspio složit narativ iz dokumentarnih snimki astronauta u svemiru i ronioca na Antarktiku. Savršeno! Film je kolaž found footagea zalijepljen glazbom. Super mi je činjenica da prikaz nepoznatih krajolika na Zemlji u kombinaciji s etno muzikom (brijem da je mongolska, zvuči ko neki throat singing) stvara dojam druge planete. Uistinu smo kulturalno udešeni! Herzog oženi me!

I'm not sure what it says about me, but I started enjoying this much more once I stopped taking Brad Dourif at face value and just took him to be a crazy guy who thought he was an alien showing off his home video collection.

I love that running time.

One of Herzogs more ill conceived ideas, still enjoyable for its fascinating collection of found footage, good music and occasionally interesting narrative ideas even though it all comes together poorly as a film.

Felt like this could only be saved if Werner himself played the alien. At least that would have provided some meta-humor.

A fun concept as an exericise as Herzog ropes in a couple of mates to thread a fun sci-fi narrative through a collection of stock footage. Strange and not boring but little more than the director playing about.

Inevitably, Herzog had to have a come-back-down-to-earth film poised around the corner for me...
Brad Dourif, one of many alien failures who settled here on our planet, says his race "sucks". He rants and rants while in desperate need of a sip of water. The narration is accompanied by often random stock footage and music while the film feels very much hastily thrown together and half baked. Despite sounding quite inviting on the surface as quasi-experimental effort, Blue Yonder and Herzog bring nothing to the table.

I love you Werner, but this was possibly the most painfully boring/wtf cinema experience of my life.
I tried to stick it out, but I couldn't do it.
The inane ramblings of the alien over the seeming disconnected footage, was too much. I admit it. Your genius overwhelmed my puny mind.
I am forever ashamed of my mental weakness yet I will stand proud in my love of your artistic vision.

Felt like this could only be saved if Werner himself played the alien. At least that would have provided some meta-humor.

Another attempt for Herzog at putting a fictional story around a documentary. It's not as successful as Lessons In Darkness. I was bored.

The most experimental and least convincing of Werner Herzog films.

DVD

Somewhere inbetween genius and slightly boring. Neither side comes out on top. I'll give it a 3.

Doesn't quite work but there are sparks of intense fascination. This plays almost like something you'd see on NATGEO. Even in SD the images here are incredible. I'm not sure how to categorize this film cause it's a science fiction documentary. Those terms are antithetical, and the result is a film that's not really complete but can not in any way be considered a failure. 

It might help if you enjoy astronomy or marine biology.
