Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="Forensic"][quote name="Jhoh Creexul"][quote name="Forensic"]One of the unreleased ones, Matriculated, is eyeball-gougingly awful.[/quote] What happens in that one then?[/quote] It starts with a woman sitting on a ruined beach looking out into the ocean next to a lemur in a jar, and that's probably the high point of the thing. Two machines come, the woman runs back to a compound, doing Matrix-type flips and running on impossibly thin pipes along the way. (Couldn't people only do that stuff in the virtual world?) Back at the compound, the machines look for the woman, only to find... another machine. It guts one of the invadading robots before being crushed by the other one. The last remaining invader is then zapped by the woman with one of those electric guns from the first movie. A curtain opens and an audience applauds. Turns out these are a bunch of rebels who are persuading machines to fight with them instead of against them. The woman says they should just reprogram them, but the leader scientist guy says they have to choose. They plug the deactivated robot into a mini-Matrix and then plug themselves in. What follows is a good ten minutes of nonsensical End of Evangelion-esque imagery set in a neon-colored virtual world. The robot tries to kill the humans, who are now also all neon, but they run away. Two of them are making out, but they run away too. Also, the lemur is there. The robot sticks his head through a hole, and he's in a movie theater. Then his skin peels off, wraps into a ball, and falls into a funnel. Then he gets reconfigured into a humanoid form, and a little mechanical worm that looks like his old self falls off and wriggles away. Then one of the humans throws his skinball into a plexiglass block and it cracks. The robot takes the block to a room where his worm is in a pit, and puts the block on top of it. The worm fills the block, and grows out of it. The robot is about to be crushed by the worm-tree, but the woman forces the door open and tries to grab him. Then, back in the real world, a backup force of robots invade. There's a quick battle where everyone dies. The original robot, eyes now glowing green instead of red to signify that he's turned "good," plugs the now-comatose woman back into the mini-matrix, where she shrieks in horror when he reaches out a hand to her. Then it cuts to a shot of the robot sitting on the beach looking out at the sea. The end.
