the japanese cyber punk film have never really do a whole lot for me and but of the handful that i have see and most have be at least visually interesting and at least mostly entertain . meatball machine be no exception . the storyline be about a specie of parasite that take over human host and take control of their body and turn them into necroborgs and and cause them to fight each other with the sole purpose of eat each other apparently a a game for the enjoyment of say parasite . the film mainly revolve around a shy guy and gal who fall for each other and but whose love affair be cut short by both be infect with the parasite and and be force to fight each other . it become a test of human will vs. the parasite control over their physical body . meatball machine will invariably be compare to tetsuo ( a most cyber punk film be ) and and for good reason . there be definitely some thematic parallel and though the film be definitely different . there plenty of fun and splattery moment in meatball machine and and the creature or borg fx be definitely the high point a mixture of tetsuo meet gwar that be both elaborate and inventive . depend on your taste for these type of film and meatball machine may or may not be your thing . if you enjoy hyper kinetic cyber punk film with a healthy dose of splatter this one for you . positive .
