Generator Rex

 

Rex

Rex is a charming teenager with a sharp sense of humor and a thirst for adventure. He is living the dream as the point man of a high-powered super-spy team and is amazed by the weird world he's a part of, and most definitely digs the spotlight as Providence's weapon of choice. It's like being a super-powered rock star, most of the time.

Like any teen, there's a lot going on with Rex that keeps him awake at night – mainly the amnesia that's robbed him of his past. He can't remember anything beyond the few months before joining Providence. He joined the group because they promised to help him learn where he comes from. He's driven toward any clues that might help unlock his memories or better understand and master the strange but wonderful machines banging around inside of him.

 
 

Bobo Haha

One of the earliest Providence captures, Bobo is an intelligent monkey who can speak his mind. Despite his darker origins, Bobo has chosen to fight for good in his own gruff way. Bobo is always by Rex's side and fiercely loyal to the boy who saved him. Bobo sports a "shoot then aim" attitude towards every situation that he and Rex find themselves in and is constantly giving absurd advice to Rex, encouraging his more mischievous side.

 
 

Agent Six

A senior-level operative for Providence, Six is literally the sixth deadliest man on the planet. Highly skilled in every form of combat and trained in methods of intrigue, Six is the ultimate bodyguard to Rex. His stoic nature and lightning-fast mind have made him a prized operative and explain why he was given the assignment of helping Rex learn how to utilize his powerful abilities. Unfortunately, Six doesn't have much patience for undisciplined partners, unreliable machines and especially smart-mouth teenagers! So from the onset, Rex and Six have an abrasive "odd couple" relationship.

 
 

Van Kleiss

More monster than man, Van Kleiss is like a nanite-powered vampire – dark, handsome and…unhuman. He has power over all biological material within his small kingdom, Abysus, in the Ural Mountains. From his laboratory tower, Van Kleiss has taken control of the land…literally! The trees bend to him as he walks by. He can move through the air or the water. All things of the Earth or nature within his borders are his to command thanks to the nanite-driven mutation in his own body. But for all of his power, Van Kleiss becomes weak when he leaves his native soil to the point where he'll disintegrate. Whenever Van Kleiss needs to travel, he must stay in constant contact with a bed of dirt enriched with re-engineered nanites…or he must FEED on an E.V.O. to keep up his strength!

A brilliant scientist in his own right, Van Kleiss tracks and captures E.V.O.s so that he can experiment on them like a gene-splicing Dr. Frankenstein. What makes Van Kleiss so deadly, however, is not his brilliance, lack of morality, or even his own considerable power…but knowledge. Van Kleiss knows the secrets of the nanites. Knows about Rex's missing years…and if he gets what he wants, he knows how to use it to dominate the world.

Pororo The Little Penguin

 

Far far away, unknown and untouched by human civilization, lies a peaceful land covered in snow and ice. On this white land, deep inside a small secluded forest, is a tiny village inhabited by little animals. No-one knows how they came to live on the island but they naturally came to live together in the village situated in the little valley where the sunshine is warmest and the cold wind is least harsh. In the village lives Pororo, a very curious impish little penguin, good-natured polar bear Poby, smug nosy red fox Eddy, and last but not least, shy and timid little beaver Loopy. All of our friends have distinct personalities and different interests which sometimes cause little (and sometimes not so little) happenings in their calm white world. But they are all good friends and know how to help each other in times of trouble.
Screening time:
