    How is the special effects better than 90% of feature length films?

    Great 15 minute ride. The special effects and computer animation is better than 90% of full length features. How is that possible. Full length feature would be great.

    Worth its 15 minutes of fame

    2/21/18. Too bad it lasted only 15 minutes, but it was great while it lasted. Great special effects with a good sci-fi story behind it. Nice to be able to catch this online via digg.com

    Great short - deserves a sequel or TV series!

    Wow.

    The opening visual effects were great - especially the reflections of earth off outside of the ring. All the photography was tight and beautifully lit.

    I won't add any spoilers - there isn't much to spoil in a 15minute film - but it was a good story and well edited

    WOW!!!

    Great piece of storytelling. I'd love to see a series made from this. It felt real. You don't see that very often in any show these days.

    The best sci fi I've seen in ages!

    OMG, I love good sci fi, and this is definitely a find, kudos to it's creators! I am so sick of the hyper testosterone gore fest clones sci fi movies have degenerated into. What happened to inspiring thought, imagination, wonder, awe, emotion? This was so well done, but over far too quick, I want MORE!
