Hyperfutura is proof that the tradition of replacing actual work or budget with randomly selected stock-footage still is alive and well. The Movie consists of about 6 actors, one camera, about 60 minutes of - supposedly open-domain stock footage, a soundtrack, and a vague arrangement of all these elements to something remotely resembling a plot.After a two screens full of text meant to explain the history of the world this piece plays in (as if that would matter anyway) which is in short your generic apocalypse, but apparently everyone is fine, and the only problem seems to be unemployment. The about 20 minutes of genuine Film are constantly accompanied by stock-footage via split-screens and overlays. Add a strange attempt of humor to the mix - Defibrillators in this Universe are called 'Hypergasm' for example. It's use is marked by a straight fade to a sex- scene, complete with overlaid Saturn V takeoff footage.In general the movie has a weird religious vibe to it, feels a lot like your generic info-warrior "truth-o-mentary", and generally lacks a consistent idea, a plot, actors and originality.If you like loud punk-rock trash cinema that desperately tries to be 'artistic' (or just lazy, pick your poison), you might actually like that movie.

the intro has a quality feel , but it is "b" movie grade, good "b" movie. And if you remember "1984" was "b" grade also. It starts to kick around 12 minutes in , and if you like sci fi and b movies , this is a great movie,i found the concept disturbing because i could see our society getting to the point that when you can not pay rent, they just make you disappear(paranoid me)- remember how the concepts in 1984 were so far fetched , now look at how accurate that movie was.A few scenes were like - i'm guessing- an acid trip (the nurse is cute)- if you are going to watch this movie you must make it to 35:35--it gets a little "matrixy"I really found the concepts and writing very intriguing, which kept me interested but i see that this movie has over a hundred views with no review and little rating ... leads me to believe and state that this movie might not be for everyone-- I recommend it to the "b" movie/sci-fi crowd and i would like to see this creative team with more money
