First, this is a movie that requires you to pay close attention (or you will miss the laugh outloud jokes). Second, there is some subtlty that requires some thinking on the part of the viewer. There are no gratuitous sex scenes, no explosions, no car chases, no fight scenes (except some robot carnage!). It's all about the characters. There's a lot of social commentary as well that probably "cheeses" off a few people (you'll get the joke if you see the movie). I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in a very long time. The writing and comic timing is excellent. I thought the two main characters were fantastic and I hope to see more of both actors in other films.
I can't give it the whole 10 stars, because, if there's something that I can't stand almost as much as my tinnitus it is, jazz lounge music...I could put it in the same list as babies crying in airplanes, cats in heat and overly happy parrots, and there's a lot of that music in this movie. Actually I think the whole soundtrack is jazzy music. Other than that it was awesome.
Put in a blender, Futurama, When Harry met Sally, and one of the best written sketches from Saturday Night Live and you'll have this movie.
There are so many kinds of humor, but in here you're going to find the intelligent kind, no rudeness, insult, stupid slapstick or dark. It's just clever and silly, just the way we feel when we are in love.

I caught this today at the London Film Festival and went in blind, not really knowing anything about it other than that it's been described as a sci-fi When Harry Met Sally. It's so much more than that though, but I don't want to risk spoiling the movie too much by explaining why, so all I will say is that this is a film which is incredibly inventive, and you can see it's a real labour of love as it's so playful and imaginative.
Best of all is the central romance however, and I say that as a die hard sci-fi / fantasy fan who loved the visual elements of the film. The central couple are given dialogue that made me laugh out loud an awful lot, and the performances are so strong that I fell in love with the characters very early on.
I'm a little wary of over praising this to the extent that people might have really high expectations of it, but despite that I can't help myself, and I had so much fun watching this movie that half way through I realised I was grinning inanely, and that didn't stop until the lights went up after the credits.
This is a low budget film so anyone going in expecting Marvel style cgi might be a little disappointed, but in many ways the lo-fi style and occasional stop motion sequences makes it all the more delightful, and as you can tell, I was well and truly charmed by this gem of a movie.

If you liked the 2006 cult classic Idiocracy then you'll get this as well.
A vehicle for the writer/director to unload on the foibles of humankind (apparently universal themes that apply to alien cultures as well).
There's a presidential election, a plague, a cult, an evil cheese corporation, and two people trying to understand what love is. All this is topical at the moment, but timeless.
Low cost production which adds to the comic effect. A really impressive effort for the writer/director, perhaps his magnum opus - hopefully there's more to come.
The actors played their parts brilliantly, innocently bumbling around until coming to some personal realisations.

Snappy, thoughtful, and insightful dialog drives the audience through a surreal deep future. Science Fiction with a good dose of absurd fantasy and special effects that set the tone perfectly. Most immediately reminiscent of The American Astronaut (2001).
The level of absurd fantasy sci-fi in this movie is for anyone who likes Rick and Morty or Adventuretime; ridiculously sublime.
The music is a perfect jazz score. The acting is superb from those with one line to the main cast. Spot on delivery.
With a running time of a tight 90 minutes it left me wanting more, especially once treated to the outtakes that run through the credits. Some hilarious lines that didn't make it in.
