Wow... Holy crap.... Holy Crap! This made so little sense that I MUST watch the entire thing! No, actually, I understood it. The population is hooked a drug made out of the heads of some creature and their entire economy is dictated by it now. Kind of like America and Tobacco products. It makes sense if you think about it. But i'm not sure if I could sit through all of that wirring '(unintelligable)'. I like the concept though. It's origional tosay the least.
What do you expect in the world of 200 million dollar budgets as the norm, and nothing but sequels, Harry Potter 23, Terminator 12, Spider Man 7, etc., etc., no one understands indy film with no budget, they think that people push buttons and boom, 200 million dollar special effects appear like magic and, are there for them to take their gay partners to the theater and drip popcorn all over themselves.
Sounded more like the talking box was saying: "I'm a fat, retarded geek who lives with mommy and plays video games all day." "GRRRRRRR... get me a twinkie you idiot!"
I feel for the guy in the monk's outfit. It must suck when the only other characters are a rotating box and a pointy rock and you're still not the best actor in the scene.
Having read what you wrote. I stand by my assertion that this movie makes no sense and is indeed the worst movie ever. Now having said that it sounds like Troma should not've gotten anywhere near it! I bet with more competent people involved it could've been pretty good, especially people who don't leave coke bottles laying around, or use the deck of a battleship as a bank..?
Anyway maybe this could be redone with cgi -- I suspect if you got rid of the lurching dinopuppets it would be better!
It is about a dictator (PolPox) that runs this planet and amuses himself by holding gladitorial type games between alien dinosaur type creatures. Ironic thing is that he looks like a big box (this is the guy on screen that's hard to understand, PolPox) and acts like a psychotic Roman emporer, but you find out at the end of this episode that its not even actually a robot, type box or whatever but a bug type creature that lives inside. There's a lot more to it than that but that's the basics.
Ask me anything you want. Right now I'm not concentrating on film though. I'm concentrating on a high-tech Halloween attraction that uses a short film pre-show thing while you stand in line, I did, similar to what they do at Universal Studios. Halloween attractions make wayyyyyy more cash than indy films so that's why I'm doing that right now. Plus no one does a cool original story type of Halloween attraction, instead of the typical jason masks/chain saws type of thing.
Again, this was a scene that was going to be expanded on in future episodes. This got into a local drug epidemic in essence, called Aculipus Heads. They were actually heads harvested from a somewhat pest of a race known as the Aculipi. They were very addictive, and even PolPox was addicted to them. This concept was expanded on in future episodes but of course SciFi didn't pick up the show, being the D-Bags they are so, no future episodes were created.
I'm from Ikuzo! Studios. Tried Scifi with my series Merc Force, similar response. I've noticed that people have difficulty understanding that you did a pilot with the intention of redoing it once your budget was increased. Still they feel the need to bash your work. I'd actually like to ask you some questions about the movie and or a possible collaboration on other projects. check out some of our stuff on fighters high, Saber, and death from beyond.
@ActMax i think this is one of the greatest movies ever made. while certainly not in a conventional sense, but there is a dream-like quality and a flow pushed along by the strange music (a mix of night ranger, ministry and epic star wars music?) that I don't experience very often. the 1st 'star wars' and 1st 'alien' movie had this otherworldly quality while all the sequels fail. actium looks like it's from the 70's, 80's and 90's all at once and has some of that trippy 'land of the lost' vibe
Why thank you. This was made during my acid period.

@ActMax
You're obviously someone who was in the movie to even bother defending it, at least someone loves your movie.. you.

I like this show. I am American and this is my first time hearing of it. What's the story behind it?
