Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

adonis98-743-186503 A scientist blames the head of a large company for an ecological disaster in South America. But when a volcano begins to show signs of erupting, they must unite to avoid a disaster. Michael Shannon's epic downfall continues with 'Salt and Fire' a movie that says nothing and pretty much does nothing either. The acting i can't say that was that good either alongside the story as well of course. Gael Garcia Bernal's role could have been played by pretty much everyone as well. Overall i'd say just skip it and watch anything else that you can possibly find... (0/10)

brunodr Is yet to be understood why Werner Herzog keep trying to obliterate his own legendary career producing films like the recent 'Salt and Fire'. Films that doesn't match his glorious cinematographic oeuvre. With 'Salt and Fire', the director wasted another opportunity to keep his mouth shut and preserve his glories from the past. In the process, he would have saved people time and resources. In the last few years, the impression is that Herzog was caught in his own myth, this 'Guerrilla Filmmaking' thing, the myth of the one who dropped the film school and by walking on foot and watching birds, understood how life works. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with this approach (when it's authentic), there is experiences that really makes one more sensitive to the nuances of life and it's complications. The problem is when this 'Rogue' thing turns into a brand for it's own sake, then when it's packaged and sold, the outcome is an unsalted product like 'Salt and Fire', a film that forces the viewer to be aware of the time wasting process. Herzog must have called his actors to a friend trip to Bolivia and said ''Don't worry, let's see what happen there, we need no script, let's improvise the whole thing up''. I constantly had the feeling of being wasting my potential as human being watching an exercise in bad taste aesthetic indulgence like this film is. I felt ashamed for Werner's narrowness. The film is just stupid and pointless at all senses. Judging by the film topics, it seems the director learned nothing from his life time experiences. Is sad to think of a guy who almost 50 years ago made a film like 'Even Dwarfs Started Small', with a filmography that includes films as 'Aguirre', 'Kaspar Hauser' and 'Fitzcarraldo' came up in 2016 with a film like 'Salt and Fire', permeated with shameful, stupid, beaten up philosophic morals that for a moment I thought he was joking, making a parody or mocking something. Sadly, this was not the case. It was a tragedy. This film is totally chicken.

timhebb-601-37167 It's an abomination to feature "reviews" by philistines who clearly have no more familiarity with films of distinction than mountain boars have with haute cuisine, which, of course, is wasted on them. They are like the ignorant savages who threw shade on Picasso because his revolutionary deconstruction of faces and figures violated their slavish and unimaginative devotion to representational art. Their obtuseness in the face of an artist like Herzog would not be lessened by my or anyone's efforts to enlighten them here. They are no doubt sealed in their benighted pits of uncomprehending intellectual quicksand for the remainder of their sad, ludicrous lives on earth. Instead of proudly demonstrating their unabashed ignorance here, they would be better advised to slink off to populate over-ripe venues like Rotten Tomatos.

lhbandjab Don't waste your time. Kept waiting for the movie to pick up but it never did. Ending was flat. The verbiage felt like I was watching a dubbed cheap foreign film. Big thumbs down. I gave this film a 2 instead of a one only because there are some beautiful scenery shots of the salt flats and surrounding landscapes.
