Entertainment Reviews:
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Herzog's inspiration is to show us the paintings as the cave's original visitors must have seen them...
Chicago Sun-Times
In Cave of Forgotten Dreams, he seems to return for the first time with an actual chunk of the destination, carved out to be shared generously with the rest of the world.

I'd highly recommend Cave of Forgotten Dreams-it's interesting, informative, and it demonstrates perfectly just what a waste of time and money 3D is for every lame summer action movie that comes out.

Rating: 9/10 --
Even those who have found Herzog's work lacking in the past will have a hard time writing off Cave of Forgotten Dreams. It's a superb film.

Rating: 5/5 --
While Herzog's philosophizing may not be as valid or necessary here as it perhaps has been in a number of prior works such as Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams is unmatched in its enchantment.

CineVue
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Herzog goes inside France's Chauvet Cave to once again reflect on mankind's relationship to the natural world....With his idiosyncratic blend of serendipity, bluntness and mischievous irony, he's able to get at deep questions like no other documentarian.
Box Office
With awe, a Herzogian sense of kinship, and a minimal camera crew working with 3-D film under unique constraints, the filmmaker all but communes with the past. -- Grade: A-

Product Description:
In 1994, one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries of the decade came to light in a cave in Southern France, known as the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc: etchings estimated at around 30,000 years old. The date of origin made these some of the oldest remnants of humankind ever discovered. Unsurprisingly, these artistic remnants bore a precious fragility -- experts asserted that overexposure, even to elements as seemingly harmless as human breath, could severely damage or destroy the drawings. For that reason, few obtained access to this area. One exception arrived in the form of maverick German filmmaker Werner Herzog, who not only obtained permission to film (with lights that emit no heat) but did so in 3D -- a process that enabled him to convey the textured surfaces on which the figures are drawn, as well as the shape and depth of the cave's stalagmites and other structures. This astonishing 3D documentary not only provides exquisite visual detail of the cave (as Herzog explores it) but uses the visuals as a springboard to broader philosophical questions about the nature of humanity itself and the transience of humankind.
