Now, this is how we inform people.

Just as a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly, our world is changing metamorphosing into something new with some destructive results. We see the loss of species, the devastation of cities and towns from forests fires, and the vanishing of ecosystems. Multiple stories are told, a harrowing tale of a mother driving into a forest fire to save her daughter and mother, artists putting statues in the most unusual places, and even a self preserving greenhouse in the middle of desert. While much of the information provided can feel daunting,

"Metamorphosis" provides solutions, results, and hope. Often documentaries of this topic come off preachy, depressing, and condemning, "Metamorphosis" rises above them by being informative and constructive. It doesn't spit out negative blame for the losses, but celebrates intellectual artists, inventors, and scientists that rise above the conditions and adapt and make changes for the better.

This is one of the most beautiful films I have seen all year. Every second treats your eyes to spectacular cinematography that will give BBC's Blue Planet and Earth documentaries a run for their money. Even when the subject matters gets into darker territories, the visuals are magnificent. Spellbinding and awe inspiring poetic control make this one worth seeing on the big screens.

Thankful that this exists.

The movie starts with a monkey in a cage, who's been hooked up to some sort of robotic transmitter that people can command the monkey to perform certain acts. Then one of the scientists says, "Now take a look at what happens when we touch him with a robot." To which a small remote controlled robot enters the cage and touches the monkey, followed by inappropriate reaction from the monkey. Whenever a film starts with testing a monkey and we hear, "Ok Now take a look at what happens with when touch him with a robot." I'm going to be in for the long run.

Vindicator might not feel like an original story, crossing Robocop with the Hulk (film doesn't even try to hide that it has borrowed a concept from the hulk by making), with a scientist who's been rebuilt into a powerful after a freak accident, which was purposely cause by his coworkers to push forward an experiment.

Yes, this is low budget, and yes this is silly, and yes, this is very eighties, however the film runs smoothly, never feeling dull. It's villains are despicable and you'll root for the hero to give them their dues. Some of the directors choices are also good, for instance a church sequence that has a great shot of our hero jumping from a balcony into shattering wood floors.

This is a true 80's low budget gem. Hard to find but worth the hunt.
