Wonderful stuff.
Brilliant SF. Why these short SF films are always so much better then long, big studio movies. I've seen it today, on DUST Youtube channel, with many similar ones, and most of them are gold.
Brilliant Short, a Must See
This is one of those Short Films where everything was just done 'right'. Perfect cast, good storytelling,.. camera, lighting, sound, sfx and editing all spot on, and all to blockbuster standards. Reason for missing 2 more stars - it should be a feature, and there's a single time/duration issue in the final act, which would take a spoiler to describe, and this film should be reviewed spoiler-free.
It was great.
Definitely a professional job good acting, from all, good cinematography and effects. Had the look of a short done with an eye toward getting backing for a larger production. I would definitely watch a longer more detailed version.
magnificent
The story as suggested , you having only pieces from them. The desert and the Arab language , the town- who could be from North Africa or Middle Orient are virtues , too. The start scenes and the end are inspired. The performance is beautiful. So, a beautiful film, a serious short Sci. Fi., giving touching love story and terrible clash between people and machines, the price of desobedience and the wise, admirable use of FX.
Man/Woman Versus the Machine
Most of society tries to go about their own business. But some destructive machines, whose purpose is to stand up for the oppressed, have formed a treaty with the government. They have a place in the desert where they can exist, but they send enhanced spies into the regular society to see what is going on. Two people become the center of all this and they are pursued relentlessly. Lots of action in this short thriller.
