No Resistance

Interesting lo-fi sci-fi experiment

Kind of a no-budget, SOV take on YOJIMBO, I have to admit I found this a little hard to follow, but you may vibe with it a bit more if you are into: cyberpunk, kitchen-sink cinema, super-indie / alterna-rock, dystopian worldbuilding. The movie is pretty impressive for what it's attempting given its resources, and while I can't see revisiting it all that often, it's definitely worth a look for the curious. Usual array of nice Saturn's Core supplements, including a retrospective interview featurette, music videos, and a couple of commentaries (one of which has the music team talking about the music interwoven with the full versions of the songs themselves, which is interesting). Video is what it is, but overall this is another solid sleeper from Saturn's Core, even if not one of my top-tier titles. I'm still glad I tried it out!

I recall seeing this advertised in the back of Film Threat in the 90s. What a great regional sci-fi piece. Great extras as well!

Delightful DIY cyberpunk

This is about the best case scenario for blind-buying an SOV title, for me. Clever, energetic, charming, and keeps its pace, never really boring. There's always something going on that got me, whether it was character quirks (see: condiment packets), background world-building, great budget effects, or plot movement. Loved it, can't believe it was so inexpensive during a sale even with the pretty slick slipcover. Two options for case art both carry the vibes solidly. The special features are plentiful and great, and I haven't even listened to either audio commentary, or the commentaries on the music videos. Really cool release that I was initially hesitant about picking up, so glad I went for it.
