    Really enjoyed this short film. The story was simple and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the actors performance in the film. It was nicely made and really enjoyed the short

    The acting is par EXCELLENCE!!! And the set design with its attention to scenery detail that is very retro, ala Buck Rogers with modern equipment, is on the level of cinematic artistry to the Nth Degree to say nothing of the writing and directing. Everyone involved should be proud of the end result that is a Sci- Fi MASTERPIECE!!! 😀👍👍👍👍👍

    Ah yes, the old wheelnut problem, but in a spacecraft engine. Thing is, while a car needs four wheels to drive, a spacecraft will still move with even just one engine, so no idea why he was stopped. Which neatly brings me to the next problem. If your engines fail in space, you don't stop. You will just keep on going at the same speed you were going forever. I could go on, but these were the main problems with the scenario.
    Now as for the acting, I'm not sure what he's chewing here 07:15 , but he's making the exact same face I make when my sister cooks, and my mom forces me to act like it's delicious, to spare her feelings. It's torture, and sometimes I think she's just deliberately trying to poison me. Not sure why he's so upset, but I do know airplane food can be very bad, so I'll forgive him for that.

      Not as fast with one engine but moves besides he believed it was repairable upon inspection. And a car takes 5 wheels to drive. So far

      Same here! I thought that, after successful engine repair journey, he came back and discovered he had left the cockpit keys inside. Anyway: very much enjoyed this one.

    This guy is so ill prepared. This isn't a drive across town. First he has plenty of warning of the proximity of a dangerous object and takes ZERO evasive action. Second, he knows so little about his ship. The ship that he is totally dependant on for survival. Really? Then last of all, he runs out of oxygen and nearly passes out before he does anything about it. He came really close to earning a well deserved Darwin Award.

    In most if not all cases, once a rocket reaches its cruising speed, the engines will shut off, and the rocket will go forward at that cruising speed practically indefinitely because spade is a vacuum for practical purposes. So videos that show exhuast coming out of the back of the rocking are nonsence except when the rocket is leaving earth (or a similar planet or asteroid, or when it need to speed up or maneuver.

      Someone has - entirely of their own volition - given us a free film to watch, should we choose to. They’ve written the script, planned it and executed it, before deciding to give it away for free. They’ve dedicated their time to finding a crew, an actor and the equipment required to shoot it, before gifting it to whomsoever should stumble across it on this platform. For free at that. And you decide to critique the most inane and petty point that I have ever read. Such anal retention is singularly pitiful, my friend. However, please let us know when your film is ready to be uploaded, Spielberg, and we’ll get the popcorn ready. I’m quite sure such devastating plot holes will have been squared away, given your obvious perfectionism.

      🟦...SOooooo let me get this straight, according to YOUR rules; ANY-Body who notices ANY-thing that YOU DIDN'T (or didn't consider interesting enough to take note of) is being "Petty", "Inane" & "Anal Retentive".
      .... And of course, according to YOUR 'Rules', NO-ONE is allowed to criticize ANY-thing unless THEY can do it BETTER,.. which in itself is a WAY more ABSURD manner of 'Reasoning' than that entertained by the person you've been criticizing.
      .... Ahm jus' gonna hope that your 'Psychological Disorder' NEVER becomes PREVALENT In The REAL World.
      ....Smh.

    A very well crafted little piece Mr. Faulkner, I might add, containing all the necessary explanatory material the audience needed to make it truly complete as a story. Who said you can't turn a "flyboy" into an "avionics man"? LOL My only question is, what was a lone fighter doing so far from the fleet? Excellent job.

    That's not survival protocol! He should have had prior emergency, (plan "B"), training per such emergency scenarios!

  • @chriscooper654

    Great atmosphere and minimalist set. Only complaint was that the background was too static: a slowly rotating starfield / binary star would have provided the same sense of isolation and a touch more realism. Aside from that, very polished short.

    He deserved to be stranded in space for his unprofessional inaction to avoid a collision. Any professional pilot would have turned immediately. I don't like dark scenes when not warranted. I thumbed it up because it was a good plot otherwise.

      He didn’t give up, although the first scene in the video made it look as if he was dead floating in space, when the story catches up to this scene, it is 18 hours later and he us reveling in his conquest against the hopeless situation he found himself in only a few minutes earlier. It was a Tarzan against the elements moment, as you will. A sense that he had won and nothing could stop him now.
      The fact that had to take paper and pen to figure out how many components it would take from each engine to make 4 in the damaged one did not give him a shred of humility. 🙄

  • @AZ_actual_voter
    @AZ_actual_voter 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I enjoyed this little movie but the actor needs to improve his facial expressions to better communicate the plot, and the volume of his spoken lines was too soft. I realize when you're alone and only talking to yourself, there's no need to speak up, but its a movie so the audience wants to hear his words. Compared to his voice volume, the music would be considered too loud.
    Sorry to be critical but these two points are important in any film and should be corrected before the next offering from this director and/or actor.

  • @ToddHofer
    @ToddHofer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I can't see the logic or reasoning for using a Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper for the ship. With all the different Sci-Fi model kits out in the wild, "Kit-Bashing" should have been used to make the ship. Just a suggestion. Good plot but, it seems like plagiarism using the BSG ship. You have the smarts to write a good movie. Next time, take it the step further and put 100% of you and your imagination in it.
