The Official Movie Thread

I just watched Event 16 a New Zealand movie about a dude who invents a time machine.
Everyone should watch it. Amazing story, stunning acting, superb script and the best CGI since Pong

I watched that the other day as it stood out when I happened to look up what's on that OceanicOddities YouTube channel! Super low budget and filmed in my birth town of Wellington, very amusing.

There must have been some stiff competition in 2006 for that not to win an Oscar
 
Also see Mega Time Squad (2018) to see how the quality of Kiwi time travel movies has endured more recently. The main actor puts on a voice that makes him a dead ringer for a friend's brother, including the part about living in a garage, hahaha:

 
I usually don't mind New Zealand movies. I watched Snakeskin off that OO YT site and that was pretty good despite what must have been a fairly low budget. Deathgasm was stupidly fun and Black Sheep was fun too. But Element 16 wasn't good even if you excuse the low budget.
 
Event 16 was good in a charming way. Especially the random dialogue, such as the woman asking her cat if it pissed on the bed again over a smooth jazz soundtrack. Or the dude who's basically bald saying "stay out of my hair".
