Leave your thoughts about The Wild Blue Yonder.
| Time OutBen WaltersA scientific context is offered by interviews with researchers expounding modes of intergalactic travel, but the real pleasures are in the organic beauty of deep spaces and the ambiguous position of the humans suspended in them. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceRaw materials are mingled with staged performance, context is scrambled, all of it is transformative |
| VarietyLeslie FelperinShould stand with the likes of "Fata Morgana" and "Lessons of Darkness" as one of helmer's best efforts at smudging the lines between docu and fiction. |
| Village VoiceEd HalterThough occasionally striking, the footage doesn't pack the evocative punch Herzog intends, and segments that should be lyrical mind trips only result in overstretched longueurs. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Anderson[A] bizarre, beautiful and slightly tedious amalgamation. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMark KeizerA hypnotic fictional fusion of archival NASA footage and new material. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoWavers between (sometimes) brilliant and (mostly) boring. But it would be wrong to call it a failure. |
| BBC.comTom DawsonDespite the film's playful humour, there's also a deadly seriousness to The Wild Blue Yonder, for it shows man's insignificance faced with the sheer vastness of nature. |
| Orlando WeeklyJohn Thomason[A] maddeningly pretentious docu-fiction mash-up. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmAn unlikely combination, but then Herzog never ceases to surprise and here, despite some dull patches, does so with an off-centre film of an almost dreamlike quality. |
