Peter Hurteau and Michael Reich star as Hero Robot #1 and Hero Robot #2, two androids clad in ever-present motorcycle helmets. The two drive through the desert en route to Inyo County, CA, where the entire population, regardless of age, dresses in identical attire. Upon arrival in the town, the two enter a scientific facility where experimenters pour hot latex over their helmets to make nightmarish flesh-covered masks that infuriate town residents. The robots then embark on a lengthy trek across an endless expanse of salt flats. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Leslie Felperin, Variety
Helmers [Daft Punk] bizarrely choose not to use their own catchy tunes here, the one thing that might have given pic slim commercial legs.
-
Marty Mapes, Movie Habit
Visually appealing but the pace is 20x too slow
-
Tom Horgen, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Worth a look if you enjoy pretty images and a simple message wrapped in layers of artifice.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
A strange concoction that will thoroughly entrance some fans while boring others silly.
