Gay. But you can get away with anything when your ship transforms into a giant robot.

I kept waiting for them to join together and form a giant robot.

Can't wait for Nolan's Superman. Hope he doesn't try and get too psychological with it, and give us a fucking Clark Kent movie. I also really don't want to sit through another origin story. Just give us a massive scale Superman story where he saves the world via super powers. He should super-punch a giant robot at some point.

Definitely looks gorgeous, this might give me a reason to hunt down my Crysis disc. OTOH, given the legal history of the Mechwarrior (and other giant robots) franchise, I can't help but wonder how long it'll be before the lawsuits start getting filed.

My pleasure! And yes hopefully it's good.

Story behind this film:

An unknown filmmaker from Uruguay has been given $30m by Hollywood studio bosses - to turn his $500 YouTube video of a giant robot invasion into a movie. Would-be director Federico Alvarez, who runs a post-production visual effects house in Uruguay, filmed 'Panic Attack' with a budget of just $500 in his free time. The five minute clip - which he then uploaded to YouTube - shows an invasion of Montevideo by giant robots and had special effects which could rival many big budget movies.

Once online it got the attention of thousands of movie fans… and (not surprisingly) studio bosses who wanted to meet with Alvarez to talk about his movie. The 30-year-old was whisked to LA where he was offered a $1 million directors fee and up to £30 million to make the film, by Mandate Pictures. The plans for the movie are said to have a "compelling original story" beyond big robots blowing stuff up. Alvarez has also been put up in a new apartment, given a new car and will work with "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi on developing the film.

How would pictures tell you how good I am at animation? I have over 10 years of experience on a variety of TV and direct to video projects.

The giant robots show their mass by stomping their feet, it's silly and it doesn't really give a proper sense of massiveness. I could critique it point by point and tell you how I'd do better but there's no point really.

Thanks, and very good for Alvarez!

This is horrible, but I'd like to point out that in the flashes at the end a picture of Barricade from the Transformers movie was listed as a supercharged police cruiser.

They've got giant robots?! I give, Democracy over!

Extremely impractical, but hey, just imagine what those evil mud-hut-living bastards who have apparently been declared our enemies would think to be seeing giant robots playing high-speed volleyball in their back yards!

For a people who have anime, giant robots, and the most advanced electronics and automotive industries on the planet, they sure are easy to amuse, eh?

I loved Sigue Sigue Sputnik back in 86. The cover of "flaunt it" had the giant robot... I was a kid... Also, I wanted to have hair like them. Man I was young.

I thought there'd be a bit more hippie outrage over this sort of thing... kudos from this son of a forest engineer.

Wait a minute, spider man flies around in a giant robot? Who needs superpowers?

'Cause I dug it. I'm glad you dropped me a note, because I realized that I forgot to put it in my "Global Emcee" playlist.
