This is a really nice low budget movie. Obviously made on a shoestring, but very well done and if you're not dependent on snazzy effects and famous faces there's a very good chance you'll enjoy it.
Also, it's always entertaining to see the reviews from the rabid science deniers who can't see beyond their personal and political views and let themselves enjoy a narrative they don't fully agree with. One wonders if it's some sort of need for self-flagellation which drives them to watch stuff they hate.

Not a single piece of scientific evidence presented, only conspiratorial bullcr#p.
How anyone can think chemtrails are real or that this so-called documentary is a quality piece is utterly beyond me. I assume it must be to do with the cratering of educational standards in the US, coupled with people's reliance on brain rotting social media for all their "facts". Whatever it is, it's pretty sad stuff.

The original Spitting Image was far and away the best satirical program on TV in the eighties, as evidenced by it's near world-wide popularity and the plethora of international adaptations.
This thing, not so much. It seems the writers has taken little to no inspiration from the biting political satire which made the original such a hit. Instead they have substituted it with largely toothless and bland humor and apparently rely on the (admittedly excellent) puppets to provide the laughs. Add in the shoddy, sometimes awful, impressions and you end up with a real dog's dinner of a show.
In general it seems that proper satire, political or not, is now a dead or dying art amongst today's writers. Or maybe the fault lies with the executives and their lack of spine. Who knows.
Anyway, I suppose there's still a glimmer of hope. The first season of the original series also fell flat and it wasn't until Rob Grant and Doug Naylor were brought in that it took off and became the jewel we all know and love. Fingers crossed then that the writers and voice actors are booted out post hase and some decent ones located.
