Review of Stingray Sam (2009) by Tim L — 22 Mar 2010
Very strange but unique mini-series/film that follows the adventures of a space cowboy/ex con as he and his friend strive to rescue the last remaining upper-class girl after cloning and gender-choice drugs wipe out women from the 'ruling class.'.
With an astute lambasting of sci-fi, politics, westerns and some very funny and catchy songs, a film that is quite difficult to get into at first rewards the viewers persistance and acceptance. Whilst the films seems filmed on a shoe-string, the film-makers use this to their advantage; turning the limitations of special effects and such into glorious Monty Python style collages of archive pictures and sarcastically pompous narration.
Some funny scenes, great music and shows a great deal of originality. Not likely to be to everyone's taste, but worth checking out for any fan of weird and wonderful leftfield comedy.
