I am not a big fan of Mexican

I am not a big fan of Mexican movies. But this one passed my time. Other than few cheesy special effects and illogical story line, it worth to watch. It will pass your time. That's all.

Considering that it came out long before America's

Considering that it came out long before America's recent hard right turn toward nativism, the film is a searing and uncannily prescient indictment of US-Mexico relations, from exploitation of poor laborers to inhospitality at the border. Filmed on the sparsest of budgets, the resulting austere aesthetic aptly mirrors the desolation of both the Oaxacan landscape and the prospects of its impoverished inhabitants, while in turn proving that really great science fiction relies on philosophical ideas, not special effects or rigorous technological authenticity. Yet while the financial constraints may have resulted in rather unrealistic visuals, the simplicity of the production provides a portentious vision of deeper socio-economic truths, recognizing well ahead of public consciousness (at least within the US and Hollywood) the looming menace of water scarcity, ecoterrorists, outsourced labor thanks to the technology, precariousness at the southern border—including the threat of its closing and the building of a wall that looks more like an ineffective fence—the use of drones to serve the imperialist interest of capitalism, cheered on by jingoistic media, and so on. This dystopian prophecy is disturbing not because of what seems strange, like the surreal sequences of workers jacked-in to their machinery, making love and buildings with wires extending in and out of their erogenous nodes like a McLuhanite nightmare (or better still: McLuhanightmare), but because, barely a decade later, it all seems so familiar.
