The creators of independent comic book Monster Force Zero attend a convention in order to try and sell their debut issue. It doesn't go especially well to start with: sales are slow and a group of belligerent con-goers seem to delight in harassing them. Things seem to turn around, however, when they are invited to an exclusive post-convention party.
Of course, it soon turns out there is more to this party than just drinks and music. It is in fact a recruitment event, hosted by a group of aliens who are seeking champions to undertake a quest for them! The Monster Force team - with the aid of a silent stranger dressed in a yeti suit - will need to face off against their erstwhile persecutors in order to win the right (and incidentally, the high tech powers) to undertake the mission.
Monster Force Zero is not really a good movie, per se. The acting's of varying quality, and the script definitely has some pacing issues, with the contest to be chosen for the mission taking rather more of the run time than it probably ought. It's clearly something that they cast were keen to make, though: there are a number of cosplayers doing their cosplay thing except on camera. If you think you'd enjoy that energy, you might like this. But if not, there are definitely plenty of better made films to watch instead.
