GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
rie-63184 In Russia, the silver box causes mysterious death. The stage is the near future and many androids mechanical animals live with people. This film is amazing and my heart is beating while I see this. There are three reasons why I was moved by this film.First, it is a good mysterious story. The audience can not expect what happens next so most audience's eyes were riveted on the film screen. In the beginning, I can not understand the meaning of silver box. However, later, i can see interesting about this film.second, it has high quality pictures. In this film, there are action scenes. This is amazing. Moreover, the picture is beautiful so I want to see it at movie theater.finally, it is a good ending. People must want to know the continuation of this film. However, this is also good point of this short movie. This film is the most marvelous short film I have ever seen.
Wisty A man is on a train and carrying a wrapped present. He goes forward and finds masked robots. And he goes forward more, a robot animal comes to him. After he gets on a long escalator, he comes up on the ground. There are many robots and they look as if they rules everything. A man enters a house and gives an old man the present. However it is the factor of tragedy.First of all, I was surprised by the visual beauty. The image is so clear and I feel I'm there. Also it was shot at a real place, the Sobor Vasiliya Blazhennogo and audiences may think it will happen in the future.The first time I saw this film, I couldn't understand the very meaning. What's unicorn? What's the box? However I can understand it completely.
alpaca25 This is an exciting and thrilling Science Fiction movie.The location is maybe Russia, but Ido not know when it is.It seems to be the far distant future.In the movie, the technology has developed and humans and robots live together.The robots seems to have human- mind.One robot serves a man. The strange gift for his owner from a guest is the key thing of this movie.The gift seems to have special power.The characters in the movie try to get this special gift,but the same things happen to everyone who gets this box.Is this coincidence?The answer to this question is not known to anyone, and I cannot tell what happens to them.In the last scene,a young boy finds the gift.I think that everyone watching this movie want to tell him not to pick up the box.It is thrilling and exciting movie and also this movie makes us how technologies are.
k0038546 At a chilly place, a man is delivering a box. This might be a normal situation but there are some things which are unusual. A robot dog is walking around. Many men wearing full-faced mask are guarding the road. A robot man is serving a rich family. This situation is making this film tense. When the man arrives to a wealthy man's house, these two men starts to open the box and see what is inside it. Inside this box, "the Gift", is important in this film. After opening it, a scramble for this gift starts. Even a murder happens to get it. With several action scenes and realistic CGs, this film is full of stimulation. The way robots move is like a real creature. It would be quite difficult to understand the meaning of "the Gift", and since this movie isn't so long, about 5 minutes, I recommend you see this movie several times.
