It's been a long time coming for Mamat Khalid's post-apocalyptic action fantasy
Apokalips X. A hugely popular director in his native Malaysia - where he is responsible for a string of massively successful horror comedies - Khalid changed gears significantly with
Apokalips X, aiming for something bigger, more effects driven and more complex by far than most of what is produced in Malaysia. The post production process has been long and complicated but the film is now completed and is being offered for international sales at the American Film Market by Birch Tree Films, who have offered us a look at their English dubbed international sales promo.
Chemical warfare has destroyed the world leaving only a handful of teens
and youngsters alive and struggling to carve out a place for them.
Three groups have conquered an area which are Putih (White) headed by
SRI GALA, Hitam (Black) headed by X and Tedung (Snake) is headed by
KALA, a nasty conniving gang head. Three of them have their own teenage
followers. But in the clan itself, they have an internal conflict -
juniors keep blaming seniors for what has happened. In a power play
conjured up by Tedung, Putih declares war on Hitam, though X refuses to
join in the fight. They have agreed to a truce way before, and X does
not want to break the truce. X lost his wife, ZARA in a fight between
him and KALA. Since that moment X promised himself that he will never
fight again. X's brothers are seething! They will be destroyed by SRI
GALA if they do not do something! The love blooms between two teenagers,
AMAN CHAI (X's brother) and QIQI (SRI GALA's daughter) makes both X and
SRI GALA are not happy. This will inevitably lead the two gangs to
fight again, which X has been trying to avoid.
