It is an age of men and beasts. Centuries of war have left nothing but a dying planet to conquer. Habitable lands have become scarce, and toxic wastelands stretch to the edge of the world. Hidden beneath this desolation lives the Mad Doctor Mindskull. Originally created to be the first super-being, he was split in two when fears arose, dividing his superior strength from his superior mind. As a result, two beings were created: one with abnormal super strength but the brain of a child, and the other a super genius, but with a weak and frail body. Although the physical strength could be contained, a mind so powerful could not, and Dr. Mindskull became an uncontrollable danger—capable of anything imaginable, and even things once thought impossible. Now, plotting against the human race, he has created the ultimate weapon. Using the planet’s core essence of life and creation, he wields the power of death and total annihilation. Can mankind find a way to stop Dr. Mindskull before his vision of a new world is complete? The only answer lies out of reach... within the Nova Seed.

Reviews
Controversial opinion, but I hated
"Controversial opinion, but I hated Heavy Metal and this reminded me a little too much of that film so I might not be as objective as I could be."
— Corey D. (3/5)
It Rocks!
"Pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this film. There’s a strange simplicity to it, like it was taken out of a teenagers imagination. The sound effects sometimes being obviously a person making the sounds added a charm that just worked well. The villain was also surprisingly unique in his mannerisms and character. Truly happy with this purchase."
— Ismael F. (5/5)
Awesome indie sci-fi animation
"Awesome looking and super fun (but short) animated sci-fi romp. Great artwork and packaging, just wish there was more bonus material."
— Tony H. (4/5)
One guy one movie

— Gustavo M. (5/5)

— Robert P. (5/5)
One Person Did This?
"Hard to believe that this was animated by one person. An amazing world has been created here with great characters. If anything, I wanted to learn more about this world. This is a must for animation fans and and astonishing achievement."
— Stephen P. (5/5)

Immensely impressive
"As a one person labor of love, this is incredible and inspiring work."
— Kyle G. (5/5)
fun and different
"This is a fun movie. Unique artwork with beautiful colors. It was a neat little romp and it's impressive that it's mostly one man behind the scenes. The case artwork, slipcover, and film quality are top tier. And it comes with a nice little book of artwork and an interview with the creator."
— Michael M. (5/5)
