An outstanding experience
Hugo_diaz1 July 2007
In a not-so-distance future, the world is ruled by a government which carries a dictatorial censorship out to recreate images, so there are no films at all. Nothing except bizarre TV-shows, aired on in order to "entertaint and instruct" specially about the food, all of it made of artificial ingredients. In this extremely bizarre world there are daredevil gangs that tries to stand their liberty out with stolen cameras and creativity. When one of these groups fall, another rise to save the lost idea. In this scenario, a bunch of different underdog characters unite themselves to accomplish their mission of broadcast a film about an amazing superhero, "filmatron", interrupting a government made feature in the process. This incredible film has the ability to develop an ambitious idea in a unique and creative way. Although the acting looks a bit unbalanced as well as some plot holes seems to appear at certain time, the atmosphere, art and colour stands out, taking the audience into a bizarre world, becoming this feature in a worthy experience.

Z level film with some charm
Leo-Iunti5 July 2023
This film has an interesting enough premise about a group of rebels trying to make a movie in a dystopian society but the amount of cliches and plotholes don't let it grow. The acting is at best. Cheesy and at worst wooden. The dialogue, save for one or two jokes, is forgettable. Having said all that the film is not a total drag, mostly for its "So bad its good" factor. The film tries to go for a quirky comic book style, that makes it feel really bizarre and unique. The fight scenes made me laugh out loud with some of their clear attempts at being like Matrix. But where better than I would've expected Probably thanks to Hugo Quiril being involved.

Overall its a really flawed film that I can't really give a good rating, but it has enough low budget charm to not be a complete bore.
