Neill Blomkamp's disturbing vision of the future on Earth, a computer generated film created in Unity 2017 and rendered in real-time at 30 frames per second.

Too short to rate otherwise
In 7 minutes, its as good as it gets and that&#39;s it. Had it been longer with more context it would be a different story. Too short is a common theme with the studio from what I can see.

Adam: The Mirror

Short science fiction good but nothing special, watchable and entertaining but in the end not long and not very original. In the end it is sufficient but not much more.

The Mirror, the first of the two sequels to the original Adam short by Veselin Efremov, is a pretty decent follow-up, adding a little bit more of detail of the setting where the events take place, though it still seems like a mere fragment from a much bigger story. It really would be nice if Neill Blomkamp turned the Adam series into a feature-lenght movie, or a videogame. This premise has a lot of potential, and honestly, it would been far more interesting than many of the formulaic blockbusters from the recent decade. The third short is good too, and really left me wanting to see how the story of Adam continues.

&quot;Adam: The Mirror&quot; is a Canadian English-language short film from this year (2017) that racked up millions of views since 2.5 months ago when it was released on Youtube. The director and also one of the writers is South African Neill Blomkamp and this is one of several short films that he recently worked on with his new production company Oats Studios. But it is not among the best I guess. This one&#39;s fully animated and feature Blomkamp regular Jason Cope in the role of the title character. There is really nothing wrong with the visual side here, even if this is probably a movie that won&#39;t get too much awards recognition, if any at all. However, the story aspect did not impress me. It could have worked as part of a full feature film, but as a standalone film, I cannot say I am convinced here sadly. It may have partially to do with my Sci-Fi bias, but not entirely. Story is king and the looks are just on a level where they are okay, but cannot make up for flaws otherwise. I see recently a sequel came out, but judging from this one here I am not too interested in seeing that one. I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.

In ADAM: THE MIRROR, Director Neill Blomkamp picks up after the events of Veselin Efremov&#39;s original short film, ADAM. The former inmates learn about their situation, and how it relates to something known as &quot;The Consortium&quot;. Adam is singled out by.an oracle called The Mirror, who tells him of his past. Mr. Blomkamp keeps it all dark and cold, as in the first film. He also sticks to the &quot;real time&quot; formula that helped to make Efremov&#39;s vision so immediate. This sequel also makes us long for the third installment. It&#39;s easy to see that this could be made into a full-length feature, or mini-series. An excellent follow-up...
