I believe there is a fantastic 15 minute short film that is buried in this film, but at its current length, I have a hard time recommending it. So many good ideas overstay their welcome, and when you're going the "no dialogue" route, what was already a slow paced film can start to feel glacial. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I struggled to stay awake. And I wasn't watching late. I was drifting off before 8 PM to these trippy visuals. Speaking of the visuals, they are legitimately fantastic. Watching The Assassins boots as he takes his first steps out of his drop pod had me thoroughly engrossed. The level of detail is ridiculously impressive, and the creativity on display in the various character, creature, and set designs is absolutely top tier. But all the visual creativity in the world won't get you too far in a narrative driven medium. There just wasn't enough story for me. And what little story there was seemed to pride itself on being opaque, as if begging to be the subject of some 10,000 word deconstruction by the next generation of film snobs.

I don't know if there was a story. if this has a deeper meaning. Or if Ol' Phil just lost the plot after letting all those dinosaurs run amock all those years ago but man, this was amazing. I don't care if I didn't get it. Sometimes it's just about feeling and I haven't felt this disturbed since Eraserhead. Loved it.

I didn't totally understand what was going on but the stop motion was quite impressive.

There was some cool stuff in here that I liked, but overall I felt that it was way too long and would have been better as some sort of short film.

This film is pure vibes and imagery. Don't try to figure out a plot or story. Just sit back and admire the twisted, dark, macabre claymation. This film is a visual treat even if some scenes linger too long or move at a laborious pace. A silent stop motion film chock full of dark energy might not be for everyone, but if it sounds interesting, you'll probably love it.
