It's Close Encounters Of The Mayan Kind In Mexico's SERES: GENESIS

Mexico is undergoing a surge in science fiction film right now and while most recent entries in the genre have failed to really find their footing, crippled by poor scripts and acting, the progress from project to project has been remarkable and it seems only a matter of time before all the pieces fall into place.

Will the upcoming Seres: Genesis be the film where everything comes together? The first in a planned trilogy of films, the trailer for this feels like Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets The X Files with all of it run through a sort of Mayan filter. And that aint half bad. Check the official synopsis below:

It is the year 2010. Mexico's technological giant Owal Tec leaded by it's general manager Mariel and it's team, are investigating the paranormal activities that are happening around the country and the world. This by using the secret Division 7 in the company. Graco, their archeological leader is looking for king's pacal's codecs. One of the last mayan kings that was known for prophesying the end of our times in the Mayan calendar. This was done by perfectly marking the Month and Day this will happen.

At the same time, the US government investigates the phenomenon and decides not to go trough with the partnership they had with Owal Tec. This and other recent happenings are the reason why Owal Tec needs to push forward with their investigations. The team starts to make findings that will lead them to believe that King Pascal was not actually wrong in his predictions.

We will learn that "since the beginning of time, they have been among us" and that "the species will reach extinction".

This is the first part of a trilogy. Seres: Génesis is the beginning, Seres: Evolution will mark the future for our kind and Seres: Extinction will reveal our destiny.
