Though it is epic with the background the film takes place in, the story that the film chooses to tell is very small. <br /><br />Basically, a girl, a guy and some neighbors have to fight off a killer robot. Thats about it! But what I admire about this movie is how much they did with so little. Even with its small budget, they managed to creat a visually interesting film that doesnt bore. At least not in my book. <br /><br />I also liked the mentality of the film, its attitude. The atmosphere thats breathed in the film is one of total chaos and social decline. <br /><br />My only real complaint with this movie is the robot itself. I was re-watching it last night and though the robot itself looks cool, it doesnt seem very agile. Its too stiff, they should have tried harder to creat a robot that moved better. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting Carl!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-58096756858481352202010-02-17T21:51:13.483-08:002010-02-17T21:51:13.483-08:00I try so fucking hard to like this film, but while...I try so fucking hard to like this film, but while I think it offers amazing visual design, I always find myself thinking that the film is nothing above average.
