    5:29 how can you have ‘real time communication’ when it takes light 12.5 mins (on average, depending on Mars’ orbital distance) to reach either end of the communications? Unless, they’ve found a way to implement communications via quantum entanglement?! Good VFX though!

    i think what the best part about this short is that this short is humanity's first FTL and first contact and from the alien point of view, they were simply responding to a distress call and returning the "alien" back to his home planet. Nothing more. nothing less. Just being decent neighbors.

    It felt painful to watch the astronaut looking at his family's picture thinking he was about to die far from home and loved ones. Then comes the relief the aliens were actually there to help him return home. Unknown actors,and maybe small budget and I'm no film expert but this felt like a blockbuster.well done.

    That's only if he is physically there. That little holographic shutter in his face makes me wonder if that's actually him, or a replication of the exact way the molecules formed his physical form in OUR reality. Have a feeling he disintegrated somehow by the things he made contact with. Did they just break him down, then light travel his particles back down to his home? Plus, if we could travel near (not at the SOL) the speed of light and back, wouldn't time have passed very differently from his location to earths? Like, in the edges of the gargantuan black hole's event horizon, time and space are being warped so drastically that every hour that passes there equals 7 years back on earth. I'd imagine light travel affects in someway space and time in very strange ways. Did you know that even astronauts in real life that have gone to the moon and back, they've technically altered their own age in comparison to how time passes here inside of our earths gravity. A certain one, can't recall his name but famous. After he came back, he was actually a 6th of a year younger than he was when he went into outer space. So technically traveling at the speed of light is time travel.

    Marvelous film. One nitpick, and it's one which so many sci-fi shows and films get wrong, not just this one - your ship may travel faster than light, but radio waves do not.

    Well, they said they were using a quantum entanglement device to communicate, which if possible would allow instantaneous communication regardless of distance. Using QE for communication isn't possible, at least as far as we know now, but yeah this is a sci-fi movie. On top of this, you aren't going to go 1.25C, universe says no.

    Personally, I think that expression is plain dumb. "Magic" by its very definition isn't a matter of knowledge, so I would always assume everything, no matter how outlandish, isn't "magic" at all, but actually science/technology beyond my understanding. There must be a point after which "magic" is just too ridiculous to consider. Needless to say "god(s)" fits into all that nonsense as well...

    A lot of people don't understand that it's more difficult to write a short script that makes narrative sense and tells a well rounded story with a satisfying ending than it does to write a feature length scrip. I stumbled upon this by accident and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Great production values and great acting. Everybody that worked on this short film should be very proud.

  • @branram

    @branram

    5 жыл бұрын

    I think the problem has less to do with the writing and more to do with some of the production choices. The story is a solid start that could develop further in a number of directions... but choices like an experimental space craft having a 'cockpit' that is nearly all glass, or having the pilot in an experimental space craft not wear a helmet, are problematic. As for the actual production quality, it was great aside from the FTL flight sequence... and the acting as a solid C+/B- -- but that might be more due to the nature of the short film beast. Trying to cram emotion and backstory into a short piece like this can result in acting that feels somewhat forced. With a few tweaks this could have been really great, and it is good enough to be used as a proof of concept for further development of the story into a series or feature length production.
