It's no Repo Man, but there were shades of the same brilliance in the dialogue. Just a total satire of the wannabe punk scene today. The entirely fake effects, using model cars and llegos, lol. Just perfect. I took at as an inside joke, mocking the unnecessary special effects of films today. Again, it wasn't Repo Man. But it was a fun ride. A clever, modern day ode to the classic.
shareYeah, i thought it was great too. Really funny. Coming here and finding the amount of hate for this is entirely baffling to me. Each to there own i guess.
It was fantastically silly, in the best way possible, and thought the use of green screen was really creative and a truely interesting take on what can be done with the tech on a low budget film.
I'm not sure if the people who dislike this haven't seen much other stuff by Cox other than Repoman, as i feel it's pretty much in keeping with the tone of his other films, esp' the more recent stuff.
Don't be put off by the reviews Cox lovers. I'd give it 8 Cox out of 10 Cox points! :)
I loved it too. I think a lot of people might get thrown by the plot when the train ride starts. You really have no idea what the heck is going on at that point, but stick with it. It all comes together eventually. I especially got a kick out of Giggli.

With regard to the modeling, there's also a subtext involving some rather cutting edge cosmological theories, believe it or not (see simulism/Nick Bostrom) - the idea being that our universe may be a highly advanced AI simulation running on a quantum computer. The results of certain quantum physics experiments point strongly to this possibility -
Repo Chick: "Do you ever experience the feeling that you might just be a tiny little simulacrum or an avatar created by a mad scientist as part of a tabletop experiment?"
Arizona: "Sure, I have that feeling from time to time."
