Just in time for the holidays comes a tale about Christmas and family. However, 2013's "Infinite Santa 8000" also contains "mutants, scum, and robo- people," taking viewers to a dire future where the Earth is in ruins and all that remains in a way of goodness is a cyborg Santa and his robo-reindeers. Creators Greg Ansin and Michael Neel inhale all sorts of influences from video games and comic books to support "Infinite Santa 8000," which began life as a web series charting the main character's battle for survival before being turned into a feature-length endeavor. 100 minutes of all this violence and flat animation is a big ask from Ansin and Neel, but they try to deliver cheap thrills with the effort, getting grungy with this study of survival and guardianship. It gets repetitive quickly, but for certain audiences, there's fun to be had in this post-apocalyptic tale. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
