Cool and quirky flick that more people should see., 2 July 2004
8/10
Author: nocturnaloner from probably the basement, watching movies.

Blister! is a well-made Japanese drama/comedy that focuses on the nature of geek culture and obsession; what it means to be an outsider. That might sound pretentious, but it's not. The film moves along at a good pace, and the acting and script leap the subtitle barrier effortlessly. The jabs at Star-Trek fans and McFarlane comics characters are definitely well-placed, but this is clearly a movie made by fans, for fans - of all kinds.

The opening consists of a bad b-movie Mexican Standoff in an apocalyptic future. It'll make sense later on, I promise. Not perfect, but absolutely worth your time, and probably something you haven't seen.
