Best movie of this year hands down!
Just what I expected
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I just saw this film at the Orlando Film Festival and it was shocking to watch. It had the absolute worst sets I've ever seen, worst costumes and so much of it looked awful...and yet it was GREAT! This is because the brilliant filmmaker, Adriel Jimenez, was able to take a huge problem and turn it into a huge plus! Instead of trying to make the sets and costumes look great, he deliberately made them awful and the overall tone of the film and script really carried the day!When the film begins, there is a Power Rangers/Ultraman-like team whose job it is to protect the Earth. However, they recently lost their charismatic leader and this job now falls to Stoeger....which is really sad for the planet because Stoeger and his contraptions are just awful. Again and again, they use his crappy ideas and are nearly killed as they battle a Godzilla-like creature made of cheap foam! You can't help but laugh at the cheesiness---and therein lies the film's charm. By the way, when I saw this yesterday, the crowd really loved it...and I could see exactly why. I just hope that on his future projects Mr. Jimenez remembers what he proved in this movie--that you don't need fancy costumes and sets but do DO need great writing and a sense of fun...and this film is fun.
