Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Gravity What bothered me the most was that it seemed like werner herzog used his reputation to get famous people in front of the camera, and just decided to have a chit chat on the record... the whole piece lacked any clear direction, concept or depth as it were shot for a tv news channel. it was painful to watch him do interviews with seemingly random people and could not even convince them to talk... then there's this cutscene of elon musk, looking down to his knees, not knowing what else to say in an absolute absence of guidance and substance.maybe he thought getting smart and famous people in front of the camera would do the trick, but nothing fills that void when you don't have a story to tell in the first place...

Ersbel Oraph I have seen Werner's name and jumped on it. Wow! Must see it.Minute after minute it becomes more painful. An exercise in ignorance, a glorification of stupidity. Back in the late 1970s there was no Internet, only ArpaNET. Yet the director and his ignorant crowd find the Internet in 1969! And what a wonderful thing! When all your life you have used pen and paper and now, an old man, someone shows you the magic of Skype, sure, it looks magical. But when you look at the protocols of the Internet, how they were built, how they were simply a way some bearded geeks made computers actually talk in English words between them, it becomes scary. No encryption. No privacy. Not because the ones designing the internet ever cared about privacy. That was way beyond their ability. The broken email protocol in which anybody can inject emails and pretend to be someone else. All the identifying bits. The lack of certification, because they all knew each other. A mess. A disgusting mess that even today seems impossible to fix. Yet it remains the only option simply because nobody has the resources to start a second project.And all are competing in who can be more ignorant. Did you know that on the Space Station one module communicates with another module on the Space Station through the Internet? The people inside might suffocate because some security cameras are trying to download the latest Xmen movie. Lawrence Krauss, the specialist into the Origins of the Universe. Actually a clown specializing in talking for big sums of money. Did he program something for the Internet? He is a physicist. Was Internet started in his University lab? Nothing at all. He is there to talk about "will it have its own consciousness?" He has no idea. But he has enough fans that he was inserted to help the box office.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

groovyuniverse Just like the internet, this documentary talks about everything but doesn't adhere to a coherent main story line. The ideas and dilemma's that are presented are often intriguing but all deserve a deeper view, instead of just being shown for about ten minutes, with sometimes no obvious connection shown between then. It feels like the director had a bunch of random observations and decided to throw them together. Later on, an idea of universal connectedness and eco-awareness gets thrown in and throws you further off from what you expected when you started to view: a history of the internet, grippingly told for the masses.Instead you get a lot of loose ends that don't connect, with the grand narrative as a forced way to tie together a set of random examples of the implications of internet in our world. It also doesn't help that the narrator has a weird pronunciation that quickly got on my nerves.

MartinHafer The overarching theme of this documentary by Werner Herzog is the internet. However, this is a HUGE topic--way too much for one film. Additionally, Herzog chooses to go off in many directions--any of which could have merited an entire documentary in and of itself. So, had "Lo and Behold" been a series, it would have been terrific. As is, it's enjoyable but often frustrating because it lacks a concise focus.The film begins with a tiny introduction to the birth of the internet through the ARPANET. I really liked this historical aspect of the film...but it was very brief...frustratingly so. The film then bounced to topics like self-driving cars, cyber bullying, living off the net and folks who claim to have illnesses caused by various waves (such as cell phones, microwaves and the like), hacking, the vulnerability of the net to solar activity, artificial intelligence and robots and the future of the internet and technology! As I said, too much information and it's presented but often not adequately explored. So is the film worth seeing? Yes. But it's also maddening to watch as it often felt as if you've been invited to a gourmet meal....with 156 different courses and each one comes and goes like lightning in order to get the meal completed on time!I have seen many of Herzog's documentaries and have loved many of them. I know he's a brilliant and talented man...but here the whole project just seems as if it was slapped up on the screen without regard to the subject matter or the effect it would have on the viewer. A misfire.
