Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World

Plot-
A documentary from director Werner Herzog about the internet and its impact on the world. 

Pros:
•Some nice imagery. 
•Werner Herzog is pretty good at conducting interviews. 
•Isn't completely one sided the way most of these types of movies are. 

Cons:
•Occasionally dull. Found myself nodded off more than once. 
•What I thought would be a fairly simple documentary about the history of the internet ended up being having a lot of crazy theories and comparisons thrown in. I should've known better given the director. There's a moment in the movie where a woman Herzog is interviewing compares the internet to the antichrist (although she kind of had a good reason to). 
•Unless you're interested in this subject or a fan of the director, this is not a movie I can recommend seeing in theaters. It's more of a stay at home and watch it when it comes to Netflix type of movie. 

My Rating: 7/10
