Fantastic!
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreI 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.
