FILM CRITIC CALLS 5000 SPACE ALIENS A “MASTERPIECE”
Known for his “honest, no-nonsense reviews of current mainstream films,” Addison Wylie is a Toronto-based film critic. In a column released on Thursday, December 28, 2023, Addison reviewed 5000 SPACE ALIENS — an 83-minute animated opus which was created by a single human being: the incomparable SCOTT BATEMAN (who hails from Beacon, New York).
▫️
In his review, Addison captures the essence of Scott’s work, writing, in part, “[B]ecause this meticulously-made film is much more experimental and abstract, Bateman lands in a world of mind-bending madcap escapism accompanied by bombastic electronica.”
▫️
Addison continued:
▫️
“Bateman … finds all sorts of different ways to present his “aliens.” Using overlaying filters and quick edits, there’s never a moment in 5000 Space Aliens that feels like a copy. The results range from eccentrically funny to ghoulishly creepy to curiously sensual, and that only scrapes the surface. The eclectic music, also created by Bateman, is extremely catchy and some of the best tunes you’ll hear this year. And even though the soundtrack has a wide range that rivals the images, the paring never feels out of sync. The fleeting nature of 5000 Space Aliens also assures the viewer that they’ll watch a new version of this movie every time they experience it ….”
▫️
And he concluded:
▫️
“As standalone components, the music and visuals work on their own …. But together, Scott Bateman creates a supernova of fervent creativity in this pop art masterpiece.”
