This was great and should have been continued, I could stand to see a full feature version to finish the story

@steadholderharrington9035 Год назад

I would only add to say that, this film would feel just a little more real, if individuals like the robot had actual weight in the world. It was moving inside the truck and then jumping off the back end and landing on the ramp (which was mysteriously already deployed) and it landed without so much as making even the chains move. It moved around in the truck without making the truck rock from its weight. The robot just didn't have any reality in the film for me.

@truejim Год назад

Also with the intent of constructive criticism: way too much lens flare added in post. Way way too much.

@SnotrocketLT4 Год назад

It’s cheesy like Power Rangers. That’s what it reminds me of. The acting, the fight choreography, the camera work, the music….cheesy,cheesy, cheesy,cheesy,

Love the concept, the robot animation was fantastic and some of the visual effects were good. The acting... could have been better. And it's a shame whoever did the post-processing was a graduate of the JJ Abrams academy of lensflares.

Ahh critics the lowest of the low form of humanity who have zero talent or skill of their own but still have the audacity to criticise others who are great at what they do and are blessed with a rare skill set of turning their dreams into onscreen reality . These great talents put their heart and soul into their work only to be mocked and insulted by the so called critic a creature that akin to a parasite stays glued to his couch with nothing to do other than ranting about how good or bad a movie is and simultaneously devouring buckets upon buckets of popcorn and bottle after bottle of soda . The worst part is that this generation that lacks the ability to think for themselves trusts the crap that comes out of the mouths of these clowns and enables them to make a living out of it. I am really confused sometimes because every other job requires some form of training you need to undergo only then are you considered eligible for that job but for the life of me can somebody enlighten me about the kind of training and expertise one needs to be considered a professional critic other than being a diabetic who also suffers from chronic obesity and idiotic delusions of grandeur and self worth.

@area73blog Год назад

Very well done! The story is compelling and the FX were great. I'd love to see this continued some day.

@youaregodspursuit Год назад

They do not know how to do short stories... in the beginning one could go to the movie theater and watch 3 serialized stories with a different chapter every week or so. These current minds do not know how to do that... they think that offering what amounts to a long preview with no ending is what people want. The comment sections are filled with pleas from viewers for the rest of what is supposed to happen. That is the niche market they cannot understand... everyone cannot be a director because it is the direction in the beginning and end that gets the job done completely. And few people know how to direct anything let alone a 7-10 minute story. Just look in this comment section and see how many say, "Where is the rest?" This approach is doing good science fiction harm and is a major waste of time

@dtoften Год назад

The main character having a hair perm looking like Ken is not realistic. Plus, coming around the alley and seeing multiple enemies thinking both of them can find cover without getting shot is also not realistic.

@captain5104 7 месяцев назад

Guess imma be that one guy here....imo kinda lame. Fight was hokey at best, seen the "oh a shot rang out but its the villain who's shot" trope too much. I rolled my eyes when the robot stumbled from that pipe hit...i mean, sure the guy fighting it could be augmented but we dont know that and hes fighting what is basically a walking set of hydraulic arms. The guy storming about looking at the photo and going to the rooftop made me chuckle. Just comes off as poor acting and lazy writing so i would say im glad this isnt a movie. CGI is okay but im more impressed with props than CGI so im biased there. All in all.... I'd click past this before it even finished if it was a movie trailer.

as a bunch of other people are saying, it is great and it would have been nice to see more of this. The universe feels very lived in and cohesive. You have pretty good hero type characters and everyone's relatable even after only a couple of minutes. It tells just enough backstory to get you hooked.

@JeffCreates Год назад

I quite like it, but I find the tone a bit odd. The strange "glib comment during near death experience" makes me feel like they're immortal and actually in no danger anyway, so it's not very suspenseful.

@haroldmcbroom7807 Год назад

The length of the films of today represent the attention deficit of our generation, supported by the social platforms on which they are used, for instance, YT's 4 sentence comment allocation embeds within kids, that if you can't get to the point and say what you want to say within 4 sentences, their brains pretty much CLICK OFF. And these films are calibrated to those standards. Always interesting at first, but violently shut short at the best possible moments because it's far from their ability to put the time into creating full length movies. It's sad, because they could put Hollywood to shame!

@jeremybristol4374 Год назад

Everyone went all in on this pilot concept. Overall the effort of everyone else made this watchable. Some people said it was the acting, I think it was the writing. The writing was not great. The dialogue was so predictable is was cringe. The premise of his father being head of some tech company that went bad... And so many issues with the scenes. Why did he go up to the roof to look at his father's old company? That was absurd. The fight scene, I get that it's on a budget, but when they rounded the corner to see a face-off? In what world would they not be shot? Everyone did the best with what they had, but this needs a rewrite.

@DrachenGothik666 Год назад

This has potential to be a fun one for the young folks. Not the most original story, but still fun. One thing about the animation--the robot needs to show "weight". Something that large would probably weigh close to a tonne. When it's moving about on the truck & hops off, the truck should be *rocking.* It doesn't move a bit. Should've done something about that.

@@FMFvideos, the robot is certainly the first clue, as it looks almost identical to "D0g" from Half-Life 2. But also, when the protagonist looks at the picture of his father, we see that he's a spitting image of Gordon Freeman!
