Kind of a disappointment here. This anthology film showing stories of people wandering across a postapocalyptic wasteland, really just some hilly rural area, starts with a couple of incredibly cheap-looking shorts that are so artificial it’s almost more like watching animation than live action: very high contrast, saturated colors, and animated beasts, mutants, and robots that literally look like they were rendered on a ’90s desktop computer, or were clipped out of an old video game.
But, it’s so cheap-looking, and so stylized, it almost works. It reminded me in a strange way of watching som strange French animated feature (it’s foreign-language, but with so little dialogue I couldn’t place the language) or even a low-rent “Yellow Submarine”.
The only problem is, after the weirdly charmingly bad first couple of shorts, it goes on for way too long, and gets less interesting. Some of the shorts aren’t as stylized and didn’t have the same charm. I liked the beginning enough to mark this “bad but I liked it”, but really, by the end, I kinda didn’t.
