The Guardian Jordan Hoffman

The scenes of artistic, scientific and communal triumph were significant. The isolated, solipsistic anger of each character, lost in their own identity loop, seemed like a perfect analogy for the conflicts in eastern Europe in the mid-1990s. Read full review

Joe Brown

It's a stunning experience that leaves the viewer disoriented, maybe even confused, but certainly entertained and somehow hopeful. Read full review

Hal Hinson

Wenders weaves all his thematic and narrative threads together into a coherent, philosophical whole. Even with the apocalypse, though, his view isn't despairing. A new direction, a new beginning emerges out of the ashes of the old, image-overloaded world, and with it, a sort of muted optimism. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Once the film gets bogged down in the outback, however, it comes to a virtual stop. Wenders seems to be saying something pretty banal about the emotional emptiness of the recorded image as opposed to the "real thing." If that's the point, why make a film at all? Read full review

Kathleen Maher

What starts out promisingly enough continues considerably beyond the end of the world and wears out even the most determined Wenders fan. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The movie itself, unfortunately, is not as compelling as the tempest that went into its making. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Despite a few felicitous moments, the film is turgid, pretentious, and dramatically lifeless. Read full review
