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.
