When confronted with something like this I would just post it on facebook, but I felt this needed a little more said. Lets start with the link, or if you prefer, the embed. Suggest you click through for full size & HD.
Giant Fucking Robots (c)
Well. I was impressed. I love Giant Robots, especially when they're blowing shit up. The only way this video could get any better would be if the Giant Robots were also Ninja Pirates. Of course if that were the case you'd never see who stole your booty whilst blowing up all the buildings and singing 'A RoboPirate's life for me'.
What made this video better than Transformers was the surprising emotional attachment to these people having only spent mere minutes with them. Of course having a tiny attention span helps me like this video too. Lack of a hollywood plot and dialogue of any kind also rules out finding plot holes and distracting from the enjoyment. The 50's feel also helped, with the old style planes taking on the invaders and indeed winning. No 'Independence Day' forcefields here thank you very much.
This was filmed in Montevideo. I had to look that up as my brain told me Madagascar, which didn't look right considering the cosmopolitan/european buildings being blown to hell. Wikipedia tells me Montevideo is in Uruguay (a place I've yet to visit), and also tells me that I was thinking of Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. What a rookie mistake to make!
Bzzt.
