The Wild Blue Yonder (from 2005) has got to be one of the most embarrassingly bad films ever produced by an apparently reputable director, ever - Namely - Werner Herzog (who's been in the film-making business for 40+ years now).
On all levels - This modern-day, Sci-Fi clunker was about as amateurish as that of a last-minute assignment recklessly thrown together by some empty-headed, little film-school flunky who's hoping to get at least a D on his project, but will very likely get an F, instead.
From its boring, stock-footage images, to its "grate-on-your-nerves" ambiance music, to actor Brad Dourif's cringe-worthy performance as "The Alien" (Ho-hum!) - The Wild Blue Yonder really should have put Herzog right out of business as a movie-maker, as far as I'm concerned.
From start to finish - The harder this film tried to convince me that what I was watching on screen was totally intelligent, the more it succeeded in confirming to me the real depth of its utter stupidity.
