The above is a short film by federico alvarez. Sam Raimi may be attaching his name to this. Raimi would would deal with business, allowing Alvarez to concentrate on the movie

Either way…those are big frackin robots

I’m so meh about that video it’s not even funny. The best part was In The House from 28 Days Later playing behind the terribad cgi and uninspired designs.

Extremely derivative and so unoriginal I could just puke. :stuck_out_tongue:

Why are people wasting time and energy making stuff like this when they could at least attempt something new. I’m always willing to give an A for effort, if there is any.

Derivative of what? Closest I got is On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

Wow, there are some vituperative feelings here.

I quite enjoyed it - to be fair, I’m familiar with the city in which it was filmed so watching some very iconic buildings be destroyed (interesting that the Mercosur headquarters is one of the first :rolleyes: hehe) was fun. Given what other filmmaking I’ve seen out of Uruguay this is really well done, and in rioplatense film in general. I’ve always found it odd that there is very little fantastic (~fantasy/sf ish) films produced there when so much of the literature is fantastic (indeed I was just reading an interview the other day in which a contemporary author was commenting that the fantastic (a la borges, bioy casares, etc) is such a dominating force in Argentine literature that it’s difficult to write anything else and be taken seriously… not sure I agree with him but it’s definitely not an isolated sentiment). Anyways, I like it. District 9 it is not, but it’s interesting nonetheless.

We could begin with “War of the Worlds” (if Godzilla wasn’t even earlier) and work our way forward.

Looks good on screen though. But nowadays everything seems to look good.

Interesting, I didn’t know that and may check into some of that stuff.

Well heck, those are derivative of Beowulf…

That is teh awesome. Seriously.
