InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews A bored young man, with a desire to travel, finds a device, and it will change his life.Yes, that is all that can be said without giving anything away. The running time is only 3 and a half minutes, and yet a lot is done with that little. Sure, the plot can be explained very briefly, but that's also because this doesn't overstay its welcome - and with there not being much story, focus can remain on communicating what there is of it.This applies the principle of "show, don't tell", and spares us exposition. We see how the titular device works, what our protagonist is like, and how the events unfold. It's not terribly complex, albeit using a concept that is.The production value is adequate. Best is the competent camera-work and editing. The special effects, the one prop, and the acting are honestly only passable, but that's all they really need to be. They don't ruin this - it was always about the idea and the use of the visual medium of film to convey it.I recommend this to any fan of sci-fi. 7/10
