Blood Machines

I like the 80's vibes, music, production art and design is superb, even actors are pretty cool and it all could have gone as smooth as "Beyond the Aquila Rift " , but the script is below average and that is where I'd want to put a 7 but I'll put a 6, if you are into spaceship sci fi and art , you will enjoy it in a certain way, everyone else will just see flashy lights...

IMO it would've been much better if it were released without all the dialog and interaction between the characters. As a music video akin to Turbo Killer, it's really nice. As a full-fledged movie, it's pretty bad.

The plot is thin, almost nonexistent (2/10) acting is over and wooden. Visual style is very original, creative and amazing (10/10). Beats standard unimaginative Marvel blockbusters in that respect.

This feels more like demo than finished film. Creator should get good writer, story and maybe director before creating the next movie. There is only so far you can go with only visuals.

The good , the bad, the awesome:

the good: VISUALS / VFX / MUSICS are seriously amazing!

the bad: turn this super short into 3 parts is a bad idea. the story is just ... nhaaa ... there is almost none.

the awesome: IF you watch this short like a video clip, THEN you get a masterpiece. It is one of the best "exercise of style" i have ever seen.

thanks for this, i get a very good time watching Blood Machines. You really need to give us more! SO Much more!

Okay, so it's got lots of female nudity. And weird inverted crosses. And pentagonal roses? And the coolest laser guns I've seen since laser guns were put in movies. And sweet space ship designs. And a monstrously impressive sound track. And absolutely no coherent script to explain much of any of this. Something something machine revolt? Feminist power? I don't know.

It's like a 14 year old dropped acid and made his fantasies into a featurette. Except with a better FX budget and musical score.

Well worth a watch, just expect a long form experimental music video instead of an actual story. And what a music video it is.

(I'd also recommend people check out the music video for Turbo Killer elsewhere (you can guess where) to get more-of-the-same, but in a SFW and shorter form)
