      Critics Consensus

      Much like the cosmic debris it investigates, Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds is made up of heavy stuff -- but it lights up the screen thanks to Werner Herzog's infectious awe.

      spencer p While it travels intriguing social-scientific ground, Werner Herzog's methodical approach to it doesn't make it stick to my mind. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A trascendental work of art... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review raphael g Good stuff! Herzog is always so enthusiastic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not sure why people have rated this poorly. This was a beautiful piece of film, full of interesting landscapes, quirky real-life people, and just enough editing and sound to creat a sense of wonderment that is difficult to find these days. I've already watched it twice. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The content was disjointed and often irrelevant. With personal commentary of the director who is often racist and culturally insensitive to the people's and places they travel to.

      Alexandra Heller-Nicholas ABC Radio (Australia) Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds is an absorbing look into how this cosmic phenomenon has inspired human civilisation itself. Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2020 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A film that can be a bit dry when Oppenheimer leads the scientific discussion but that springs back to life when Herzog the filmmaker allows his awe to come through the camera. Rated: 3/4 Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds is an awestruck movie about awe. Rated: 4.5/5 Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Herzog's reflections on meteorites are hallucinating. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper Despite its slower moments, the film carries a weight and finds enough unique points of conversation to stand out and feel like an inspired effort. Feb 22, 2022 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Werner Herzog takes us to meteorite school. Cool. We are all space dust, except for Herzog; he's Bavarian. Rated: A Feb 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
