Trump vs the Illuminati

Was impossible to get though 5 min of this move. This is the single most idiotic film I have seen. It made films like; Laserblast (1978), Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966), Ankle Biters (2002) look like Oscar contenders by comparison.

This movie was always going to fail in one obvious way: it's not possible to spoof Donald Trump. Nothing could be as ridiculous, absurd, bizarre, strange, repulsive and laughable as the big orange man himself.

I was really hoping for something funny, witty.... anything!

This "movie" was a jumbled bunch of badly replayed animations, a lot of poorly voiced dialog and almost no Trump. What you get instead is a few Green aliens (one being Aleistar Crowley?!), the voice of Anubis, a space Gorilla, and a couple of generic space cowboys "a la leftover Halo".

The poorly voiced over Trump is hardly even in this to either make fun of OR defend. Save your time and eye rolling and look elsewhere for entertainment. Or for those of you with Trump derangement syndrome, go back to finding things to be offended by. This won't entertain either side.

Granted, I wasn't really expecting much from an animated CGI movie with a title such as "Trump vs the Illuminati". But still, with the chance to sit down and watch it, I did so. After all, it could just happen that this was going to be a hilarious spoof or something.

Well, it was something, alright...

Let's just get down to business. "Trump vs the Illuminati" was bad. Painstakingly and irrevocably bad.

The storyline was just atrocious, and I wonder how the writer and director managed to came up with something as abysmal and idiotic such as this. I mean, this was just downright bad. And not in a way that it was so bad it was actually fun to watch. No, this was just bad.

The CGI was rigid and wooden, looking like something from an early 2000s computer game. Sure, there were some interesting details and some of the space suits were actually interesting, but the majority of the textures and characters were just horrible to look at.

And then let's talk about the voice acting. Well, for an animated CGI movie, I am sure that we can agree upon the fact that having a good ensemble of talents to do the voices is alpha and omega, right? Right. Well, hold your horses, because the people behind the dubiously animated characters had for the most part annoying voices and delivered their lines without emotion. It was the stuff that would give you a splitting headache. And the guy that did Trump's voice was pretty far off from being an imitation of Trump's mannerisms of speech and such for the most part.

"Trump vs the Illuminati" is a CGI animated movie that you should give a wide berth. Some of us suffered through this ordeal in parts or in whole, so you don't have to waste your time, money or effort.

My rating of this 2020 CGI animated movie lands on a mere one out of ten stars. It was boring, uneventful, had outdated CGI animations and were just downright ludicrous to sit through.

Should have been called "Trump's *Voice* vs the Illuminati." Could just as well have been "Buggs Bunny vs the Illuminati" for all the difference it would have made. The creator took a cute idea, and... basically did nothing with it for an hour and ten minutes.

It immediately starts out with some looong and boring exposition, and... never really gets off the ground from there. Most of the scenes consist of a simple back-and-forth between mostly static shots, with not much of anything happening. A series of still panels would have done the job just as well. The animation itself is a strange mixture of competent and lazy (eg. The near absence of human faces).

Thin on humor and ideas. Could possibly have made a mildly entertaining ten or fifteen minute short, but sitting thru over an hour of this stuff is just plain coma-inducing.
