REVIEW
The short film ‘PLANET OF THE DUB’ is a Unique form of story telling. It combines interesting visual styles with smart humor and a clever concept.
Daniel Widdowson, the creator and Director of ‘The Setup’, has broken away from action chases and gun showdowns and has bought a new flavor to the table. The idea and concept is refreshing as we have never seen Dubstep in a film before.
He seems to be telling the audience that Dubstep is now growing rapidly in our music and culture . SPOILERS. The scene where the Brain Dead Zombie like teenagers are wearing headphones listening to music, is a small reflection of society. Kids are becoming more and more engaged with technology.
The strange neon, purple visual style used throughout the film is a clever aspect to pull the audience in this surreal, futuristic Dubstep world and is a small reminiscent of the 1982 film TRON.
Sam Oakley plays the part of a grumpy producer well but the rest of the characters are forgettable and unimaginative. The script is very poor and laughable at times but the film is a good visual spectacle, with a great soundtrack.
VERDICT
A smart and quirky short film which will Sure to please Dubstep Fans and anyone who is new to the genre
