Storyline

A military expedition in Siberia gone wrong. The existence of humanity is in peril as Inanna, Sumerian goddess of lust and war has summoned a giant meteor to destroy the planet, after being accidentally set free from her ancient prison. The government has been overturned in a Communist take-over and the citizens of the world; brainwashed. In humanity's darkest hour, the ancient entity of Gilgamesh, older than the cosmos themselves, must decide whether or not to serve of mankind's final hope. Meanwhile, Inanna has hand selected the one man; married man and archaeologist, David Murphy, to live out the rest of eternity with her. Gilgamesh and Inanna are quickly targeted by the new government as potential weapons of mass destruction, and soon the apocalypse has begun.

Goofs

When the prison cell door is opened, Col. Meyers raises his eyes from the cell floor to see the US Army C.O. coming into his cell. But when the scene cuts to a different angle from inside the cell, Col. Meyer's eyes are still gazing at the floor when the C.O. walks into the cell.

Alexandra: This country is being purged as we speak.
Valentina Ivanov: By 0700, there will be none of you left. All those bills you voted on will be null.

Fun and Interesting!

Gilgamesh is one of the better New England independent films I've seen in a long time. This company always works hard at putting the best product they can out there and Gilgamesh is just another example of that. It also has a great soundtrack. Having a good soundtrack always helps makes a film even better. Gilgamesh is proof that you don't need a lot of money to make a good movie. It just takes talent and dedication. I'm glad I came across this film, thanks to all the promotion they did for it. I found it on a couple of different websites I frequent. I hope they decide to submit to film festivals. I'm looking forward to see what these guys put out after this!
