SYNOPSIS

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away lived a planet known as Alt.fan. This safe haven for geeks of all shapes and sizes allowed obsessive sci-fi fans to peacefully co-exist with their beloved heroes in complete harmony. Freaky comic-book fans cavort with super heroes in Comic Book Metropolis, Captain Kirk macks on his most dedicated female fans in Trekkie Town, and wild Wookies roam free in Starwarsville. Unfortunately, a squabble on Monster Island is threatening to tear this dorktopia apart.
A band of irate nerds insist that America’s fire-breathing Godzilla can kick the rubbery ass of the Japanese Godzilla. Desperate to avoid civil war, the inhabitants of the peaceful planet use the Godzilla-matic to summon both monsters and have them run amuck until a victor emerges.
In this clever exploration of the art of nerdery, skillful Flash animator Todd Gallina uses the epic Godzilla war to tread on other sci-fi staples like Star Trek, X-Files, even the ill-fated Sea Quest. In the words of the immortal Jar Jar Binks, “How rude!”

 FILMSON REVIEW: A-
Written by: Pacos

Ever since Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich gave birth to an overly computer-generated Godzilla, an epic online war has been waged between old-school Godzilla aficionados and devoted fans of the new and improved mutated monster. Countless hours have been spent bickering about which Godzilla incarnation would triumph in a fight. Some believe that the sleek American Godzilla would prevail, while others insist that the sturdy Japanese version would triumph with ease.
However, there’s a fanatical splinter group of enthusiasts who believe Mechagodzilla would emerge victorious, if given the chance. And let’s not forget that Hedrah the Smog Monster is extremely powerful, especially when it teams up with Megalon the giant beetle and Biollante the rose plant of titanic proportions.
I happen to agree with Flash animator Todd Gallina – WHO THE F**K CARES?!
Even though the comic timing seems a bit off, this is still a hysterical and inventive exploration of modern day nerdery. It's a blatant F.U. to all sci-fi fanatics who while away the days debating frivolous topics. This wonderful concept is executed perfectly, allowing one angry animator to mock obsessive geeks and the heroes they worship.
