Despite what certain blockbuster movies would have you believe, it wasn’t just the US that was visited by giant, transforming robots.
The last Transformers movie cost around $200 million to make, and while Alexander Semenov’s short film doesn’t have anywhere near the same budget, it’s still pretty remarkable. The premise of the film is pretty simple: A pair of bare-chested Russian rivals battle each other with the aid of their Transformer allies. There’s a bit of a twist in the tale that I don’t want to spoil, but I will say that hearing a Transformer speaking in Russian is very cool.
According to the film’s Vimeo description, the live action part was shot in just two hours, and then it took a further month to add in the computer effects. The effects are very impressive, especially considering this was a fan project made with minimal equipment. It’s only a few minutes long, so it doesn’t require a huge investment of time to watch it, but it contains some unauthorized audio however, so it might not be around forever. Watch it while you can.
