Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater
Perfect cast and a good story
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
This movie is the absolutely strangest thing I have ever seen. I mean, Bill Plympton is often strange but... I mean... this movie is so odd that I regretted quitting drugs.There are some funny lines ("God peed" and "You can't drag race with Jesus") and some funny moments, but my friends and I found ourselves laughing simply because we were so damn uncomfortable.There are also some really odd sexual sequences. Wait, did I say some? I meant a lot. A lot of really odd sex sequences. Again there was uncomfortable laughter.This movie is like a train wreck: it isn't pretty, and not very fun, but you can't look away.
I've seen this movie on the Holland Animation Festival last Friday. It was introduced by Bill Plympton himself. He warned us that is was 'a pretty weird movie (chuckles)', and how right he was!He did fail to mention that his movie was not only 'pretty weird', but also hilarious, absurd, violent and sexist.The whole setting seemed to be some aggrevated, distorted version of reality in which politicians, corporations and the media played a bizarre role.I think everyone in the audience loved it, including myself. I can only say to you: Go see it!
I saw this film over the weekend in the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema and it is perhaps Bill Plympton's most extreme animated feature, out-sexing and out-violencing even "I Married a Strange Person." (And, for those worried about whether Plympton's gone soft on religion, he's also included a little ditty entitled "Can't Drag Race with Jesus.") That said, this film is hilarious and holds together fairly well as a story.
Wow.. A great film!!! I was amazed in front of this visual masterpiece that brought me back to my teen years (when I loved watching gores and sex in Heavy Metal or in mangas). But even more to the sex and gore is the funny and critical story that makes Mutant Aliens A great film in its kind."Chapeau" to Bill!Seb
