The History of Future Folk is the story of aliens from the planet Hondo that come to earth to destroy everyone on it. Before General Trius (Nils d'Aulaire) can release the virus he hears music for the first time. Falling in love with music and believing that a race that can put sounds to for music must have some good he spares the Earth. But the people on Hondo are not happy. He was supposed to kill everyone so their world can be spared. They send the Great Kevin to Earth to assinate General Trius. But Trius who now goes by the name of Bill has been on Earth for a while and has gotten married and had a kid. When the Great Kevin catches up with him Bill plays music for him and they end up starting a folk band together.
My synopsis doesn't do the movie justice. There are so many little quirky and funny bits in the movie that it is hard to summarize. Needless to say the leads are great and their songs are hilarious. The movie zips along fairly quickly and keeps everything moving. It is funny and has a little romance, action, and music.
Overall: 5 out of 5. Some movies at festivals make you think or challenge your beliefs and some are just fun. This is the later. It will have you laughing at the shear ridiculousness and tapping you feet to the catchy tunes.
