Critics Consensus

Undergods trips over its own storytelling at times, but this stylish sci-fi outing has a unique voice and a message worth contemplating.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

The subtext may not be subtle, but what Moya's film lacks in nuance it makes up for in terms of ambition.

Rated: 3/5

FilmWeek (LAist)

You have to work your way through it, but if you allow it to overwhelm you, it's really quite striking.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

A riptide of surrealism runs through Chino Moya's ambitious debut feature, a fantasy suite of tales that don't so much interlock as butt into one another and blurt out alarming, dreamlike correspondences.

Rated: 4/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Writer and director Chino Moya's feature length debut is an anthology unlike anything you've seen before.

A fitting metaphor for the creeping sense of unease and disconnection that seems to be prevalent throughout much of the modern world.

There may be genius woven through this film. Who knows. But it did not connect with the viewer and that is the primary mission.

Meandering, with each story bleeding beautifully into the next, we don't spend a lot of time with any particular character. Instead, the stories told each add unique insight in building a bleak, yet authentic, world.

The dystopian setting is interesting but that is all you're given time to be interested in. Too many different stories without proper build and too quickly paced to connect with any of them. The ‘glue' holding it all together isn't very good, almost non-existent.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Overall, this might be a real treat if you seek a sci-fi story that attempts to be quite dark with its visuals, humour, and drama. It's a film that contains various characters and stories that all have one thing in common- tragedy and sad consequences. Some characters throughout are generally interesting, but with no conclusion ever given for the vast majority of them, I found my time, for the most part, to be wasted. I was left questioning the purposes of this film and feeling rather disappointed.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
