Nice reference. :)
Nice reference. :)
Visually, this reminds me of a mixture of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Metro 2033—with perhaps a bit of Fallout 4 mixed in.
Yep. Me too!
Great use of one of my favourite Soap&Skin tracks in the trailer! This looks a bit like Jordskott mixed with It.
If people in white robes with weird black triangles on their hoods show up, just leave. Quit that job on the spot.
OK, that was funny. :)
We’re ALL de-vo!
I loved the original film. Pure, gleeful, bright-blue-lit monster mayhem! The giant capture-creatures that looked like spawn of Cthulhu were bad-assed.
This film better use Gary Numan’s Replicas* album as its soundtrack.
Personally, I’m lusting after Agony, simply because its version of Hell is prettymuch exactly what I imagine Hell should be. It’s only Hell, though, depending on which side of the pitchfork you’re on. :)
In The Flesh was blood brilliant. I really dig the idea of curing someone affected by zombie...ism—zombism? Chances are, unless the virus/prions involved completely turn your midbrain to mush, your brain will still be recording memories even though your consciousness might be completely switched off. Once you regain…
THERE IS A GOD!
I enjoyed this film far more than I honestly expected to. It had heart, and it told an interesting story, even if there wasn’t a shred of real creativity behind it. It was well-done, and very entertaining.
The microsecond that technology is available to pre-alpha test, I’m signing up. I don’t care if it fries my brain in the process. At least I’ll stroke out happy in an arcade back in 1982 again.
AWESOME! That’s such a great thing to hear. :) I’m not a stickler for scientific or technological accuracy by any means, but it always perturbs me when it seems like plot holes that should be obvious are not addressed—although, in this case, unpredictability of behaviour does make sense, to a degree. Humans aren’t as…
I friggin’ love that guy’s films. Best Japanese director ever! Kurosawa and Miyazaki don’t even come close.
The setting reminded me a lot of George Alec Effinger’s When Gravity Fails, though with a bit more Blade Runner thrown in. Once again, though, the filmmakers overlook the fact that machines can think/react so many millions of times faster than humans that all efforts to corral them to a ghetto would fail miserably.
There’s a non-scary side of cyberpunk?! My favourite thing about cyberpunk is how damn creepy it is. Nothing like mixing cybernetics with Cronenbergian body horror!
DO NOT UNTHAW MACREADY. I’m suspecting there was more to the crew of the outpost going into cryohibernation than merely saving “resources.”
I loved the first film. It was pure, unapologetic fun—an extended effects reel, yes, but the effects and character design were awesome, especially that of the Cthulhu-esque capture-creatures. I also dug the brains-as-batteries approach, as well, which, though a big ol’ ripoff from The Matrix, was cheesy in a fun way. T…
