Great. I'm surrounded by idiots.

I mean...okay it had some good visual effects and all. The camera work was decent. But what was the ****** point? Ooops! They forgot to have any sort of plot or meaning or anything. Yeah it's a short...but what was the point of it? A guy got sniped. Three guys went off to some wall somewhere and two of them got the ****** blown out of them. There was some explosion that killed their captain. And......? Where's it going? There's no substance. It's worthless.

It had no point but to portray a complex thought at the end.

A combination of hopelessness, fear, regret...

It wasn't "great" mind you, but it was very good.

Downloaded and saved for later.

What? It wasn't made well at all. Do you know nothing?

Patently false.

Whether or not you like to admit it, whether or not it fits in with your mastabutory contrarian desire, it did indeed portray something.

It's not great, but it was:
a) visually appealing
b) emotionally engaging

If you have a different opinion that's fine, but don't be such an asshat about it

STop being a film queer. I'm the resident pretentious 'tard of this board! It's not a good title to have.

I will say that it was well done but some of the SFX shorts weren't very transparent. I'm assuming, since it had Cyllian Murphy (a big name star in it) that the budget was on the large side - they should have had a cleaner look. Also, the writing was pretty cliched, the acting pretty silly (i just wanted him to scream "my legs! I can't feel my legs!"), and it was all like a cut scene from a video game. But it was shot pretty well and kept the audience's interest. But it didn't exist on it's own, it exists as a scene from a larger piece. I'm guessing the director was trying to show off his chops to get a feature made, but no one bought it because the piece lacked strong characters and, honestly, a plot. War is hell is not a plot, that's subtext (or it's supposed to be). Well shot though, good production design, and Cyllian Murphy's hot! I mean, I'm straight. Really, I am..

Edit: and, no, I can't do better! Neither can FilmCamera... But I'm gonna keep on trying!

The cgi was neat until I saw the HD version..still some of the cut scenes of the walls were REALLY good.

If anything I thought it was part of a demo reel for a 3dfx artist

FilmCamera, just because you went to film school or think you know a thing or two about video doesn't mean you've got the final say on anything. Most of us liked it, and couldn't give a damn if you don't think it's good. There's a reason we have the word "opinion".

I don't get it it felt empty to me, has nice visuals, but weird acting, and where's the damn story?

Length was a minus
acting was pretty non existent
plot was thinner than Nicole Ritchie
why was there a skeleton sniper?

it was cool to watch, but I can't say it really held my attention, and the ending if you can even call it that. Left me clueless as to what I just watched, I know you can't pack 2 hours of movie into a few minutes. Would be interesting to see this expanded on so we know what the hell is going on. But unless they added a whole lot of plot I don't see how this could possibly work as a full length flick.

for the HD version what kind of system is needed to run it well?

Gets your interest really quick.

I agree it's too short, but really, that's part of the fun of it, such as wondering WTF can toss a car aside like a trash can. Nothing they could show would live up to the stuff you can imagine it might be. Did that make sense?
