That brings me to MAX NEPTUNE AND THE MENACING SQUID, which looks like some good old-fashioned low-budget fun, a serial-flavored space saga with square-jawed hero, ray guns, alien gunfighter, cackling villain, damsel in distress, plenty of overacting, and one bitchslap. So far the flick looks a bit like SKY CAPTAIN made for pocket change, with a campy pulp tone and some ambitious lo-fi FX. Hell, I think I enjoyed the short trailer more than all three STAR WARS prequels.
