Android 207 (2006)

Director: Paul Whittington

Writer: Paul Whittington

Starring: Robots

More info: IMDb

Plot: An android is trapped inside of a large maze. The maze is vast and filled with many surprises.



My rating: 8/10

Will I watch it again?  Yes.

Anything stop motion animated has my attention.  This short film (10 minutes) is creative and fun.  The robot, Android 207, makes its way through a maze facing obstacles and solving puzzles.  The results of some are not as you'd expect.  It's got humor, suspense and it's clever.  Writer/director did a fine job.  Hell, just the design of Android 207 is creepy and badass.  The whole thing has a 1970s vibe.  If this had been presented as being made in the 70s I would've totally fallen for it.  It's on YouTube in full so stop what you're doing for ten minutes and perk up your day with this.  While you're there take a look at what else he has on his channel.  You can also get a DVD of Whittington's short films on Amazon that looks to include a bunch of extras as well.  I might have to pick it up.
