Movie's link

If New Age was an -ism, it would have 'maximal' as its first name. Fantasies of immortality and the infinity of the universe are the basic stuff that neo-religious science fiction is made of, preferably topped up by apocalyptic scenarios as parts of a larger 'evolutionary' master plan - and all that is what you get here, albeit in quotation marks. Are the recurring 'cosmic' motives in Maximalism in fact a metaphor for the Internet? And is the Internet not just heralding the dawn of a new age? In Ernesto Baca's maximal parable about an invasion from outer space and Earth's impending doom, a delegation of friendly aliens arrives from a distant galaxy to - headed by commander Ashtar Sheran - save those selected samples of the planet's decadent population who have earned salvation. Baca is fortunately one of Argentina's most productive, independent filmmakers and he makes his films on non-existent budgets and a wild imagination.
