Interesting concept. Been done before--and better. ( Pleasantville this ain't ).
Nice way to find work for a bunch of iron man bodybuilders and extras, but doesn't really hang, the script sucked and if it wasn't for trite over-acting, there wouldn't be any.
Low budget ? If the budget were any lower...it would all be in black-and-white.

I FEEL KINDA' MONOCHROME ABOUT THIS ONE
A work in progress
The writer/director shows a lot of promise with this production. Some of the visual FX were excellent, even if borrowed from Natural Born Killers. I like the way he made a special effort to credit his cast at the end. This will be a plus when they audition for new roles. Hopefully lessons learned making this movie will result in better ratings for Kodi Zene's next one.
The one big problem I had with this story was its premise. What on earth was the 'hue' thing about?? Viewers deserve an explanation for a precondition that bizarre, or at least a few strong hints. A very brief Road Warrior-type intro would have been helpful in justifying the events that followed. I suspect his plan was maintain interest by leaving the question unanswered, but for me interest gave way to irritation well before the movie ended.
Hue you?
This is another fine example of a dystopian film that starts off well but fades towards the end. It's like an ageing athlete that over exerts themselves at the beginning of the race & not knowing how they will finish it. It runs out of ideas of where to take it & follows the herd to a generic clichéd tried and tested ending.
