It’s safe to say “Anatar” wasn’t trying to be the next “Citizen Kane.” But at the very least, viewers may hope for some kind of weird, humorous romp that would be fun to watch with friends while doing “MST3K”-style commentary. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear even to achieve that, as the review from Wise Cafe reads, “I’m kinda impressed by how shockingly ATROCIOUS it is, like, you expect terrible but to actually watch it all the way through it’s utterly masochistic, so profoundly unfunny and embarassing that will make most people absolutely speechless, because it does try. And fails.”
They’re not the only ones to think so. The director for the movie is credited as “Alan Smithee,” which is the famous pseudonym filmmakers use when they don’t want to be associated with their films. With this reception and a paltry box office gross, audiences shouldn’t expect a sequel to “Anatar” to come out 13 years from now.
Anyone with a morbid sense of curiosity who wants to check out “Anatar” may be disappointed. It’s difficult to track down, not even being available to rent on Amazon Prime Video. But perhaps simply knowing this film is out there and that people spent time in blue duck alien costumes to make it is enough for some.
