Our Popcorn Movie Dystopia - Some More News: The Movie (2020)
Thought and ire provoking time travel satire
This popcorn movie is an outstanding achievement. Done during shutdown on little budget & limited time & contact...it is highly entertaining! The release was beautifully timed, hours before Election Day I was stressed & needed a distraction. This movie made me laugh so hard I disrupted my kids classes bc they were being home schooled. It was exactly what I needed to lift my spirits.
I was going to joke that it leaned on cgi & I prefer practical effects; but the truth is it is visually beautiful, extremely well written & performed. The animated & generated effects are very well done for such a small production. It contains fun make-up & costumes & clever use of practical effects! I like that it dives deep into a myriad of dystopian films with time travel, & I throughly enjoyed all the characters!
Perhaps watching before the election might hold different significance then watching for the first time after the fact, it's still absolutely brilliant!
If they can sell a dozen new books about Trump a week to this day, I think anyone can watch & appreciate its insight. I do recommend putting yourself in a pre-election mindset of extreme unease about the unknown to truly appreciate its significance. The End.
