After seeing this movie, and knowing that it's no-budget and fan-made, I have a newly found disrespect for the Sci-Fi channel. The way they implemented those Metal Gears into the live-action sequences were far better than any pterodactyls, giant snakes, dragons, aliens, or other assorted beast that I've seen in Sci-Fi exclusives that actually had some money put into them.
But in all, Philanthropy was great. If you haven't watched it, you're doing yourself an injustice.
