This film was an attempt by a director to make a movie in his own image. Herzog points out only one key about the meaning of the movie, the volcano and continued to play his mind games with no ending of his story. This movie is bipolar the whole way, Herzog continued his weird drama that went no where. Pay attention thru out the film, there was never any danger but it continued to have you curious about it. He failed to produce what he wanted the story to tell instead he lets the audience decide. Its seems to be a bad movie overall but its more then just that, it's a example of the great idea that is the worst idea in film making. Theres no beginning, middle, or an end and I loved it
