The Last City on Earth – Brilliant Sci-Fi Animation by Ricardo Mercado

February 22, 2011 by Alessandro Cima

Ricardo Mercado made this fantastic machinima-like science fiction film about a city in a perpetual state of war and an outsider who has a message to deliver. It’s wild and beautiful and really feels like science fiction!
