Featured review
The plural of Automaton is Automata
The title should have given it away. This is really just a waste of time, not worth for anybody to bother to watch.
The earlier reviewer is right; any comparisons to Guy Maddin or David Lynch are just ludicrous.
If the maker had a sense of humour, it might have had a chance to land in the "so bad it's good" category but, alas, such is not the case.
The "robots" are nowhere near as endearing as the Daleks on Dr. Who. The FX are one notch above toy spaceships on strings. The acting and script are pitiful. The plot is threadbare. The direction is a bad Ed Wood imitation.
Watch paint dry or something instead.
