A few months ago I was sent the animated sci-fi film Trump vs the Illuminati for review. It was a weird watch but nothing I could recommend. A few days after watching it I was informed that the film was actually a sequel to the 2020 film Bigfoot vs the Illuminati. It was eating at me that I didn’t watch the first film so I did a little looking and found it streaming on Tubi. Before I took a dive into the last two films in this series I decided to check out the first one.
**Spoiler Alert** The film takes place several centuries in the future when the Earth has been devastated and over harvested. Mankind is afloat in space with no planet to call their own while the evil reptilian alien forces known as the Illuminati as sworn a war against them. When things looks down for the human race they turn to the elusive bigfoot as their last hope for survival. **Spoiler Alert**
I went into this one know how bad Trump vs the Illuminati was but it still didn’t prepare me for what I was about to watch. This is the kind of movie that I could see myself really enjoying but it is done in such a way that it wasn’t as fun as it could have been.
The voice acting in this one is very unenthused and they don’t really match their characters. The voice actors create some interesting voices but they don’t match the film at all. The movie itself is a little serious in tone and the voice acting completely ruins what little bit of atmosphere the film is able to pull together. The story for this one could be so much fun but by adding all characters like Stalin, Crowley, Van Helsing, and so on makes what could be a decent movie feel goofy as hell. When you take the goofy characters and mix it with the voice acting you get a movie you wish would end before it actually does.
Finally, I really like the animation in this one. The scenery all looks amazing and I liked the way the characters looked aside from bigfoot. The animation is really impressive but I find it extremely funny watching the character “talk” without opening their mouths. I dont know if this is something the animators forgot to do or didn’t know how to do but it makes the film feel lazy. Overall, Bigfoot vs the Illuminati is a movie I could see myself loving but the voice acting and the goofy characters made it a tough one to finish. Skip it.
