Ha, I like the intro. Nice filmfights shout out! I like the scissors sound effects in the background. The flying garbage can is really cool. I like the commando shots. I'm not sure if I want to ask how you got some crazy manniquin.

Poor dancing soldiers ... I love how you montaged all this stuff together.

This really is a lot of clips ... impressive amount of shots, especially considering how early you submitted it.

Oh no! Come on space ship! I like the smoke effects.

"In 30 seconds, we'll compact" - ha.

Sweet sweet dog hero!

I think you could have zoomed in your footage to fit in the side screen instead of having the sparkle stuff on the sides. It's kind of distracting.

I thought this was really awesome!!! I do like animation, I think it's neat! Still counts as a "film" in my book! Overall thought this moved very well - the middle perhaps could have had some trimming but overall really impressive stuff!

I give this film a B+

At first I didn't like this, but it kind of grew on me.

I was a little confused at first, but it eventually all started to come together and was pretty hilarious. I love how you made Arnold a "hispanic" character by naming him Sanchez and having him say random words in spanish, so very Hollywood. :)

This reminded me of Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror. After I watched that movie I wasn't sure why I liked it, but I did. Same goes for this. What did I just watch? I'm not sure, but it was awesome. I don't mind the sparkles on the left and right. It just adds to the ridiculousness. ☆☆☆

OK, so I'm gonna be honest here... this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen on Film Fights! I can't believe how much effort you must have put into this, so many FX shots and animation, this must have taken you bloody ages, so kudos for that!

I love how goofy and off-the-wall it is, there's nothing about this film that makes sense but somehow you managed to convince me that everything that happened was perfectly logical... something to do with the voiceover I think, it's the sort of voice that you just instantly trust instantly - whoever did the voiceover has an awesome voice!

So there's me thinking "yeah we've been working on our entry since January and I've put shitloads of work into it and after shooting it I never want to touch coffee again...", and then your entry comes along and completely blows ours out of the water. :P You should win for sure!

Thank you for your very kind words. I live in a small town with nearly no actors and a step son who can do Arnold and Sean's voices, and one incredibly talented dog. It's a case of using what resources you have.

Yes it's goofy and off the wall, but then again so am I!
Imagine my neighbor's thoughts seeing me film a mannequin holding down a trash can while off camera a hair dryer blows her blouse! Then little men, riding on a dog race out on to the driveway!

I originally thought to have them land on a planet of giant blue people and multi colored dragons, but I decided that idea was so ricidulous that nobody would buy it...tee hee hee, so I went with giant telepathic mannequins.

The garbage can looked better than something I'd craft and again, using resources at hand. Now when you see those cans lined up, remember, it's not garbage day, it's an invasion!

In any competiton, no matter who wins, those who attempt always come away having learned something that they can apply to the next film. I always have. That's the real payday and why venues like Film Fights are so valuable.
