Trenches

First I'll say that I had been waiting for over a year for Trenches to be released. Every since the site went up. So I was disappointed when the date came around for release and yet nothing had changed. But now that things are finally up and running, I'm pretty happy to be viewing it. However, the episodes are way too short.

Short five minute episodes make up the series. OK, I understand that this was done on a budget but come on! I've never heard of anyone ever cramming everything they need to in a five minute episode. Heck, those hour long episodes of LOST on TV are too short. Five minutes make this project look and feel like it was a bit rushed.

While watching, I couldn't help but notice a similar theme to the movie Pitch Black. And the opening scene seems more like a tribute to Star Wars. I know that Shane Felux directed Star Wars: Revelations but he doesn't need to bring such unoriginality to an already interesting plot. But as long as we don't start seeing light sabers, I'm cool. Overall, it did get me hooked. I want to see the next episode. I just wish that they would have made them longer.
