Some days I love the internet. Today is one of those days, because without the internet I never would have seen this short film from Uruguay, which depicts a giant robot attack on Montevideo (true fact: my only reference point for Montevideo is that Grant Morrison blew it up in some DC Comics crossover). It’s the kind of thing that gives genre fans hope that we can get spectacle and coolness on a budget and not have to settle for 500 million dollar overblown behemoths.
Of course I’m sure they saved some money by snagging music from 28 Days Later, but struggling young filmmakers gotta do what they gotta do.

This film captures my childhood more accurately than Where the Wild Things Are.
Incredibly cool.
This rivals Robot Jox.
that fucking rocked!
Extra marks for the Potemkin gag. Great job establishing that ornate building before destroying it a little bit later and getting real actual people to run around the streets. Maybe could have done with less of the drones?
How much cooler would it have been with just the ambient and local sounds… rather than Godspeed blaring from the soundtrack. Cool as hell though… wow.
