Well nothing lasts forever right? Wall to wall great shorts from Oats Studios and here we have a bit of a stinker by comparison.
All the previous efforts were sci-fi epics and this is an attempt at comedy that fails miserably. Ontop of that Oats shorts are usually around the 20-25 minute mark and this is closer to 4.
All about God and his servant Jeffrey overlooking the people of the Serengeti and his anger at them discovering fire.
I get what they were trying to do, but it simply wasn't funny, entertaining and the ending was dark without a purpose.
To clarify I'm not a resentful Christian, there are plenty of things in life I believe in but an almighty cloudman is not among them.
In the bible I'm sure this story can be found. Somewhere in between the Power Ranger vs Care Bears battle royal and the passage about a man being struck down by God for fertilising the ground with his seed instead of his wife.
The Good:
Sharlto Copley as God
Directed and written by Neill Blomkamp
Nice idea
The Bad:
Poor writing
Far too short
Things I learnt from this movie:
The earth is flat, in fact it's just a dining room table in gods study
Heaven looks like the royal palace
Elephants are to humans what dogs are to sheep
