Holy freaking cow thou ! made by a nobody, for $300, and it rivals anything hollwood could do !

The detail, of the robots damage to where they step is amazing in itself.
who needs plot ! i'd pay to see spit THIS good, based on the coolness factor alone.

Sadly, hollywood has already snatched this guy up, and will water down his work to garbage, for a big budget blockbuster
damn, it's cool thou. i wish i had skills

I'm actually glad I clicked that link. Pretty good stuff.

No i think it's just something some hot new director did with the budget of 300 dollars..... i would like to see a movie made around that footage, i do think the triangle ufo's could of been a tad more real. i loved the robots though......

Im not sure it really only cost $300, that seems to be a bit of exaggeration.

A lot of people had to work for free, permits had to have been free, etc.

It probably cost much less than a real motion picture, but $300 doesnt get very far.

MUCH different story, and more believable. I know this is making the rounds of the geek boards right now, so I'm sure details will be available very soon.

Agreed. One could make a movie for free, if you make sure that everyone works with his own equipment and for no pay. Kinda like http://www.thisoneisonus.org
But still, that's a bit of unfair competition. :)

Good find though, master owly!!
