A military expedition in Siberia gone wrong. The existence of humanity is in peril as Inanna, Sumerian goddess of lust and war has summoned a giant meteor to destroy the planet, after being accidentally set free from her ancient prison. The government has been overturned in a Communist take-over and the citizens of the world; brainwashed. In humanity's darkest hour, the ancient entity of Gilgamesh, older than the cosmos themselves, must decide whether or not to serve of mankind's final hope. Meanwhile, Inanna has hand selected the one man; married man and archaeologist, David Murphy, to live out the rest of eternity with her. Gilgamesh and Inanna are quickly targeted by the new government as potential weapons of mass destruction, and soon the apocalypse has begun.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
thingmaker2001 I didn't get all the way through this one. There may be some big ideas and it is possible they are even good ones... BUT. The incredible cheapness, the lousy acting and dialog, the occasionally goofy editing... It was all too much for me.
Leofwine_draca Okay, I'll give GILGAMESH credit for being something other than a cheesy and predictable slasher, but this micro budget production is so awful and indescribable that it becomes virtually unwatchable after the first ten minutes or so. I appreciate the effort made to depict a snowbound Siberia in the film's opening sequences, but the plot then goes off on a tangent involving religion, politics, and various esoteric themes.Unfortunately as with all indie productions this all amounts to a whole bunch of actors doing very little other than having philosophical conversations. It's patience-testing stuff for sure and the continuing refusal to make sense or deal with concrete themes and ideas makes it a real chore to sit through. There's little incident, a nonsensical story, no realism, and awful acting throughout. I hated it, I'm afraid.
presroom I don't like to base my reviews on a Films budget but when I watched this production I was pleasantly surprised. The Writer, Producer and Director Richard Chandler squeezed every penny. The film makes good use of local locations and talent. The story is well written and original. The plot flows well with the use flash backs and narration by Joseph Gannascoli(of the Sopranos). This was a creative way to save time on costly scenes. The story line is the usual good against evil but the characters do a wonderful job involving the audience with strong performances. It has something for everyone; supernatural, gore(a good body count) and brief nudity.Keeping in mind this is independent film on a micro budget I think you will enjoy the unique characters and plot. All and all a very interesting and entertaining film.(see trailer)
Davanna57 Very impressive job of independent filmmaking on a micro-budget. Imaginatively depicts the fall of the US government and the rise of an insane dictator in the near future, set against an eternal conflict between two supernatural and immortal beings - one sworn to destroy the human race, the other who may or may not be our protector. Has the character depth, texture and ambitions of a movie costing many, many, many times more money. Well-directed, well-written with flashes of black humor amid carnage, generally very well-acted, and quite well-photographed. Uses its limited budget to claustrophobic advantage in the same way that some of Roger Corman's early films did….A rather unique accomplishment that follows its own independent raison d'être - to give its audience a creative experience they'll never get from Hollywood.
