Love it

So first off, this microbudget film has a lot of the issues that they all do: there's probably little to no money for CGI or high quality gear and some of the acting is a bit ropy.

However, I'm really enjoying this. The characters are charming enough, there's actually entertaining things going on and (this is super rare) it actually made me laugh. The conversation about the goddesses at the pool is hilarious and also really liked 'you wouldn't make fun of a kitten' bit.

There are some moments where what happens kinda gets lost in some action bits (throwing the item at the orgy early on, and when he's blocking a door) but you just have to assume what they're trying to get across happens.

There's also a few really dodgy CGI bits such as the psi-fish and the fact any sign looks like it was designed on paint.

But these are minor points, I really enjoyed it because it's so watchable. It's fun, they go different places, there are interesting characters with great costumes (even if it's just body paint and a wig).

There are also some nice, well thought out shots that go a bit above 'some friends with a camera' that these type of films sometimes fall into.

Slightly let down by the 'cryptotranny' comment, but other than that, I recommend.
