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", while Cyriaque Lamar of io9 described it as "basically Alien, Predator, and Terminator all rolled into one". The trailer was shown on a 2015 episode of the late-night talk show Conan, featuring guest T. J. Miller. The movie was split into two parts, as is the norm of the direct-to-video market in West Africa.
