Another thought provoking documentary from Herzog. Enthralling and really sits with you. In a terrifying awe struck kind of way
Worth it for Werner Herzog's narration alone.
Good documentary but unfortunately easily forgettable.
Whatever you think of tech & AI, I just love how Werner can challenge the heart & bring people together despite his gloomy outlook. 7/10
I don’t think Herzog knew what the internet was before making this movie, great questioning by him
Herzog uses his characteristic documentary filmmaking style to explore the inception and evolution of the internet. Wonderfully thoughtful.
You'll never look at technology's role in human life the same way again.
Does the internet dream? This documentary is filled with many explorations of how humans connect with technology. Fascinating and unique!
If you're interested in where technology is taking us in the future, this documentary is for you
Watching Werner herzog try to understand the world is very fascinating. I like his nature stuff better, but this is the ying to that yang
