Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space

In the year 2010, practically one hundred percent of Cat Earth's GDP comes from the megacorporation Catty & Co., which is rapidly spreading across the rest of the galaxy. Here lives Tamala, a beautiful yet foul-mouthed cat, who decides to travel to the planet of her birth, Orion. After an unfortunate crash landing on the planet Q, Tamala meets Michaelangelo, a fellow cat, whom Tamala refers to as "MoiMoi."

As Tamala and Michaelangelo explore the planet's capital, Hate City—which is under martial law to separate the feuding cat and dog populations—they pass by graffiti and museum exhibits about the ancient cult of Minerva that speak of something dark and sinister. After Tamala catches the eye of the extremely violent motorcycle-riding Kentauros, she and Michaelangelo flee, but mysteries about Tamala's identity continue to surface. Why did Tamala originally leave Orion, and what exactly is her connection to Catty & Co.?

well i just finished the movie and i got to say i think its a masterpiece in its own weird way I'm a little sad it isn't mainstream because it truly is unique

Art: it is cute if you like Astro boy or hello kitty i think you would like this style because it is a blend of both. The movie is mostly in black in white but when they have colored scenes it really pops out and the colors go well together, considering this movie was made by 2 dudes i think it does a really great job!

sound: I love the music and voice ... actors, i think the voice fits the characters well
especially Tamala which may surprise you when watching the movie because she cusses a lot, it may catch you off guard because she sounds so cute but then she drops an F bomb, But i think it is endearing and makes this movie more unique.

Thoughts: I enjoyed the characters and wanted to know what would happen next and the mystery's going on around town about Tamala, the art is so so cute but even if the art is cute this movie goes into adult topics which i enjoy. When i saw the movie it didn't really make sense to me and was confusing, this movie is surreal but once i understood (looked it up) i realized the movie is kind of simple but I'm not going to spoil the movie because i want you to watch it.

overall: i love this movie to death but because this movie is surreal/doesn't make sense when you first watch it i would not recommend this to you if you aren't open minded

Mixed Feelings

This flick's an acid trip of cutesy meets crude, and not in a “oh, isn’t that quirky” kinda way, but more in a “why?” kinda way. It’s a half-assed dystopian universe, and there’s this chain-smoking, punk-ass space cat named Tamala. This cat’s got attitude in spades, a vibe that’s somehow both ‘fuck society’ and ‘let’s nap forever.’ I’ll give ‘em credit for the artsy black-and-white style—it’s got that slick, underground comic vibe, and the creators didn’t hold back on the existential dread.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the plot… if you can call it that, is a total clusterfuck. Tamala’s out here exploring dystopian planets, but ... it’s less a story and more like a weird collage of “what the hell did I just watch?” moments. There’s some half-baked corporate satire, a sprinkle of weirdly violent scenes, and a tone that’s all over the damn place. It’s basically like a series of twisted memes strung together. You don’t watch this thing for a clear storyline, you watch it to feel your brain slowly melt and ooze outta your ears.

So, yeah. Worth a look if you’re into trippy, dark humor and cats with a whole lotta attitude, but let’s just say you might feel like you need a shower—or a shot—afterwards.

Scif.i has a tendency of involving time warps and such but i never imagined a shows plot could be as equally warped! They take random things and throw it into the plot. Sometimes the cut to scenes of people talking but is unclear if theses are more random people or the same couple that keeps taking because they never focus on the characters. Instead the camera focuses on the legs, shows them in dark light, yadada.

Sound, was a joke. Using the same couple i mentioned the voices which are supposed to be of two individuals to me came ... from one. Also, from what could be seen of the hidden couple they were dressed as female so why a male voice?

I could go on and on but what would be the point. It won't provide me with answers just more questions.

As far as art is concerned this is mostly a black and white flick.

I recommend skipping this.
