A good while back we posted the first teaser for Filipino giant robot film Resiklo, which stars active Filipino senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla in the lead, and spurred on by the news that the film just took top honors at the Metro Manila Film Festival - where it scooped a good number of other awards as well, including Best Float which brings up the obvious question of what kind of film festival even has floats, never mind awarding them, and why doesn't that happen here, dammit - a quick scan turned up a newer, full length trailer that shows off a stack of additional footage. Does it live up to Hollywood? No, of course not, but man does this ever look like a fun cult pleasure ... yes, please ... you'll find both the teaser and full trailer below the break.
2021, the not too distant future. Global devastation has been brought about by an alien invasion has left the whole planet in chaos. In the Philippines, a rag-tag group of survivors strives to survive in a secret sanctuary called “Paraiso”. Crisval Sarmiento, an ex-military colonel, is the reluctant leader who defends the whole compound from two threats. That of the “Mutanos,” mutated humans serving the insect like alien race (aptly called “Balangs” by the humans) and the alien invaders themselves. Crisval, together with other human survivors soon discover the real reason that the “Balangs” have invaded the planet earth… the conversion of humans to serve their needs. In order to survive, they must go up against a technologically-advanced alien race using robots they have engineered from recycled parts of derelict everyday machines and military components.
Except for the kids, that trailer actually looks like more fun than Transformers.
"hundreds of civil libertarians" being the NPA (New Peoples Army) commies or the MILF?
Er, I dunno... Maybe FILIPINOS ?!?!?
Oh, how am I gonna answer that dumbass qwestion without pissing on your
mother ?!?!?
Dude, point of advice : I'm a Filipino. I don't if you are one yourself, but if that is so, then you are a shameless disgrace. That witless line of shit does not help matters. " Commies " ? Pfahhh. Are these Americans here suppose to be impressed by that antiquated slang word ? Makes you feel part of the club, huh?
Making such spastic ' retorts ' will not make your skin any whiter. Try again.
NEWS FLASH TO ALL : This fucking nutsack condones the murder and rape of impoverished students and unarmed peasants ! And you all thought the Philippines was a DEMOCRACY ?!?!? See what I MEAN ?!?!?
Someone needs to calm down.
