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.
Brilliant short. Effects are sweet, good actors and albeit short, it felt well directed and has a nice story. It managed to grab me quickly, which is all too important with a short. Hopefully we get to see more of this at some time.
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!
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.

It is very seldom I give a short a positive rating, much less 10 stars. FTL not only features some of the best CGI I've seen anywhere, but focuses on story and humanity in the process.
The only downside is a couple of moments of poor sound where one can't make out what the main actor is saying. That falls to the director and sound editing to catch and someone dropped the ball. That almost dropped this to 9 stars... but not quite. The rest of this is just too good.
So many shorts fall way short in story and plot that I've almost given up on watching them. I'm glad I made an exception on this one. Fair note: this could be easily extended to form an entire movie, so at the end the down side will likely be the viewer wanting MORE! But for what it is and what it accomplishes, this seems to me a superb example of film making.
