Release
2016 first gained notice in 2011 when a trailer for the film was uploaded to YouTube. The Huffington Post called the trailer "bizarre and wonderful",[1] while Cyriaque Lamar of io9 described it as "basically Alien, Predator, and Terminator all rolled into one".[4] The trailer was shown on a 2015 episode of the late-night talk show Conan, featuring guest T. J. Miller.[5] The movie was split into two parts, as is the norm of the direct-to-video market in West Africa.
