    Messy, funny parody of 80's scifi
    Starting with the title sequence you get the feel of the 80's Terminators and similar big budget Hollywood cinema. Then it wanders off to more peaceful waters, to pick up again by the mid/end.

    The whole movie is a bit incoherent, as some shot types are repeated a bit too often, some only happen occasionally, the pacing is a bit uneven, the sound recording/mixing feels dated (hard to understand some dialogues), but as a whole, this is a fresh burst of ideas, youthful energy and just uncanny fun.

    The cooperation of the father Zdenek Sverak and son Jan Sverak creates a strangely appealing mix of vintage storytelling and youthful effects-based bombastic blockbuster visuals that just work (at least for me). You have to be somewhat familiar with the visual style and cliches of 80's scifi to fully appreciate the references, but I guess most of it is so etched into the fabric of modern cinema that it should appeal to wide audiences.

    Give it a go, it will not drain your energy for sure ;)
