“For those looking for a ride through our modern technological world, or indeed a preview of what is to come, this is it.”~The Guardian

Aroview: Acclaimed Documentarian Werner Herzog approaches the internet as a curious outsider on an exotic vacation. Meeting the digital natives, getting history lessons from the passionate pioneers, and philosophical insights from leading Physicists, Hackers, Roboticists and the likes of Elon Musk.

While this film is less focused than his previous essays, Werner applies brilliant questions, good humour and naive optimism in areas where some predictions become frighteningly uncertain. Fans of his trademark persona will be enthralled.

5 stars (Exceptional) Outstanding discussion on the future, not the history. Great wisdom of Herzog's questions & some amazing responses! Unmissable extras (3); the first is best. All are of interest, though there is some overlap. All deal with important issues. ~Sandy

4 stars (Very Good) Werner is an entertaining host and through his using humorous touches, he is able to extract the right information from his interviewees without treading on toes. ~Tubbs
