The movie industry of the Philippines has always been troubled since Hollywood films keep on taking up the lions share of the market. Since we can’t match the graphics and effects of Hollywood films, most of the local movies turn to dramas and comedies. However, we’ve seen long strides in Philippine cinema effects in the past few years. I actually enjoyed watching Exodus a few years ago and it looks like I’ll be watching another local film this December. Ramon “Bong” Revilla stars in another film which features a lot of computer graphics and animation. It’s called RESIKLO and it seems to have good potential based on the trailer.

Grabeng Kaartehan niyo O_o ganda na yan no! sa umpisa kaya iisipin mo parang gawa sa ibang lugar hahaha! pero nung sa dulo nakita na si bong at yung robot na low quality dun ka na matatawa e XD pero as I said MAGANDA na yan sa lagay na yan ;P Buti nga meron pang mga pilipino na sinusubukan pagandahin ang industriya ng pelikulang filipino e ^^

wow really cool!
pinoy mecha!!!
sana they can sustain the wow factor sa buong pelikula.
we do have great talents here in animation (CG/Cell) and we also have great writers. opefully we can grow our own culture and not just ‘recycle’ japanese+western cyberpunks etc. uso naman fusion so i guess ok na din! hehe

Fred-ster on December 1, 2007
honestly though i was fooled with its trailer. i thought it was a some kind if sci-fi action movie from hollywood then suddenly i saw Bong Revilla’s face… /omg!! I wanted to laugh not because of seeing him in a transformers-like themed movie, but because of the following message that trailer expressed… that Resiklo came from RECYCLE ahahahahahahaha. i mean i know recycling is important but putting it as a theme for that movie, even if sabihin nating sa trailer lang yan, is still kinda inappropriate.
keem21 on December 1, 2007
sa tingin ko kaya recycle kc tignan nyo yung robot..
parang ginawa lang sya sa recycled na bagay…pina pakita cguro nito ang resourcefulness ng mga pilipino..
wakoko on December 1, 2007
ok na sana ganda ng graphics kaso bat ganun style ng robot nya old model /heh
wakoko on December 1, 2007
nagtitipid siguro sya sa storya kaya recycled robot ang gamit nya hehehehehe pero ok na din yan.. /no1

WTF!! ung robot kung sa mga gundams pa xa ung inuunang pinasasabog ni gundam zero /heh
LadyLazarus on December 1, 2007
Wow. I think this is really great. Naman guys, you are being soooooo critical kaagad. Let’s reserve judgement when we see the entire thing. Kayo kaya gumawa ng ganyan pelikula. Besides, you can’t expect a sleek high-tech machine kasi hindi naman yun ang purpose ng movie diba. Resiklo nga eh. Recycled. Kaya talagang mukhang tagpi-tapi ung machine. I love the mecha, grit an all. Pero sana hindi Caucasian guy yung nagvo-voice over sa trailer. I give Bong Revilla an A+ for effort. At least he is striving to bring the Pinoy film industry towards the future. Now if he could only do the same as a senator…
MEGAN on December 1, 2007
Wow.. ganda talaga nyan! you can check more about that movie in this website:

wasakmen on December 1, 2007
nice n ung umpisa.. parang transformers.. kaso nung lumayo ng unti..
mga recycled materials pla..pinapalabas nila ang resourcefulness ng noypi.¤
tone down on December 2, 2007
actually maganda nga sya compared naman sa ibang movie ng mga filipino which really sucks at CG effects na parang minadali ang paggawa
sa wakas din, isang movie na hindi LOVE STORY for this year. takte puro love story mga movie ng pilipino eh
ryvrdrgn14 on December 2, 2007
I think it looks okay. The robot design is being “humble” since we really aren’t at the top of the technology ladder like the US or Japan. It’s more along the lines of Robot Jox or Battletech/Mechwarrior than Gundam or Macross, but that’s okay.
Baka masyado daw mayabang or gaya-gaya ang labas pag ginawa nila mukhang Gundam yung robot. ^_^
If you watch the latest Gundam series, “Gundam 00″, you’ll see the third world countries have mecha similar to that in the earlier episodes. ^_^
ryvrdrgn14 on December 2, 2007
Hmm, the title also means “Recycle?” That’d make more sense with how the robot looks. ^_^
Tetsu Yatogi on December 2, 2007
Ok ‘to, ayus. Medyo improving na sa graphics at effects, sana naman consistent. Atleast hindi sya Horror film NANAMAN. (o_\\)
Artemis on December 2, 2007
Resiklo ang title kase nga yung robot ginawa sa mga recylced materials di ba?
Ayon sa trailer, they needed to be resourceful, since mukhang Pilipino ang inventor ng Robot, de ni-recycle niya mga lumang jeeps at buses sa EDSA!
Siguro pag na-defeat na ni Resiklo ang mga magagandang robots ng aliens, pwede siya kumuha doon ng magandang parts at gaganda na rin itsura ni Resiklo! (wahahahahah!)
Pinoy Ingenuity! /no!
JekyllVSHyde on December 8, 2007
maganda na rin nman CG ahhh…
kung ikukumpara mo sa mga dating CG ng Philippine movies
tumaas na ang level ng CG ng pinoy…
sana every year tumataas ang level para makafabol tayo sa ibang bansa
ung bang mala-final fantasy, kingdom hearts, spiderman ang dating…
hahar on December 9, 2007
mas maganda pa yan sa transmorphers. YUN ANG RIP OFF NG TRANSFORMERS. same date din nilabas.
oversoul on December 9, 2007

Siguro, next time sana gumamit ang Imus ng HD, OK na sana kaya lang the Graphics was awful, di ko nagustuhan kahit sa trailer pa lang, maybe they should try the HDR Effect and some Higher Diffusion (check nyo yung games na may HDR). They should be patient on making a film, maging mausisa, paghirapan ang ginagawa, kita mo yung mga kano, kahit inaabot ng ilang taon ang ganda ng kinalabasan tyaka sana may aral yung ginagawa nilang istorya, not just another waste fiction.
mokies on December 25, 2007
I think that they are competing with the Japs. Halos magkatulad ang Graphics implementation nila sa Gapo.
mokies on December 25, 2007
Maybe try competing in games!
Pulse on December 26, 2007
kung kukumpara natin cya sa mga foreign walang wala prin tayo pero kahit papaano mejo nakakahabol na… pero kung d2 sa pinas aba yan na ang super ganda yung graphics… un nga lng my kulang pa nid pa nila enhance yung graphics tsaka yung tao mejo lagyan sana ng pagka 3D parang sa 300

Hindi naman sa nagiging mapanglait ako s gawa ng pinoy, but I must say I was not impressed. Nanood ako dahil kailangan nmin sa report. I cannot bear to finish the whole movie. Kung di lng tlga kailangan di ko un pagtiyatiyagaan. I guess it’s a start. Pero sana naman kung gagastusin rin lang ang isang movie na may special effects, sana pagandahin n nang husto. Para kasing pinilit ihabol s MMFF this year. Sana ninext yr n lng pra mas pinaganda p.

There is effort in making the movie look good. Unfortunately, the movie is a rip off of The Chronicles of Riddick from the plot, to the characters down to the costume.
