It is with this realistic yet pessimistic tone that Herzog ends his entertaining, fairly instructive and well-rounded film.

A series of portraits of obsessed people, each painted by one of the most likable obsessives in cinema.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2016

Into the Inferno is a strong argument for feeling a sense of wonder in the face of things you don't understand.

| Oct 28, 2016

Into the Inferno may be relatively minor Herzog -- it's sweet and rambling rather than laser-bolt intense like Fitzcarraldo or Grizzly Man . But it is enormously satisfying, filled with wisdom, insight and molten lava.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 28, 2016

This intersection of nature and culture is filled with insight.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2016

A lazy, meandering mess that gives off no heat.

| Oct 27, 2016

It's an exhilarating trip, filled with strange stories, fascinating rituals and ethereally beautiful images of bubbling magma and flowing lava, some of which were captured using drones.

Even as "Into the Inferno" invites us to marvel at our insignificance in the face of Mother Nature's seething primordial firepit, Herzog, being Herzog, refuses to lose sight of the human element.

In the documentary realm there's nothing more pleasurable than top-drawer Werner Herzog.

| Oct 27, 2016

As fun as Herzog's highly imitable voice can be, this particular film arguably works best when he remains quiet and simply stares at the fiery void.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 27, 2016

The busy-ness of its conceit grounds Werner Herzog in a documentary procedural form that's surprisingly conventional by his standards.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 24, 2016

An intriguing, unnerving documentary.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 21, 2016

While Into the Inferno is not Herzog's tightest work, it offers no fewer riches.

| Sep 28, 2016

It is, as usual, a fascinating free-form essay, with stunning visuals, thoughtful voice-overs, and a few persona-generated giggles. But it's not entirely what you'd expect, and that's mostly to its benefit.

Werner Herzog teams up with volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer for a globe-trotting tour of sites that have inspired bizarre belief systems.

Herzog has always shown a gift for immersing us in the startling extremes of the natural world, and his images here do not disappoint.
