Review of Kaydara

Kaydara (2011)
5/10
low-budget expansion of a big-budget universe
28 April 2012
The odd animated intro almost made me stop watching the film, as there is no hint that it is just an intro. I honestly thought for several minutes that this movie was simply claymation. However if you can bear past that it is a nice retread down familiar territory, though kind of like The Matrix if it were made in the 1920s shot on a worn-out 20yo VHS.

How this Kaydara film could be rewritten by Hollywood: The truce has been broken by various acts of terror from man against the machines. Neo has been sighted in various places after the events of the third film. Neo is said to be behind these acts of terror in a hero-complex desire to be needed as he was before. However he has full support from most humans who never wanted a truce to begin with, rather they wanted full destruction of the machines. Kaydara stays out of the human-machines war, preferring human-human bounty instead. He despises neo but has never seen him and no one can track him. However as his contracts on humans continually lead him toward neo..he begins to grow suspicious. We find a scarred Trinity has actually been the one who has hired Kaydara, and that the machines have reverse-engineered a neo for themselves. It was the machines who sent this bastard-copy neo to create the terror against themselves and re-ignite the war in hopes of getting rid of all the humans at once with a Trojan horse attack from their beloved savior.
