2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Silent City" is a 7-minute science fiction short film from Ireland written and directed by Oscar nominee Ruairi Robinson. Interestingly enough, he switched from animation (that's what his Oscar nomination was for) to live action, but still stayed in the short film genre. I personally wasn't impressed by what I have seen from him so far, this one here probably even less than his Oscar-nominated short. It is really all style over substance acting as if this was something heroic, something significant, but this movie here has nothing to offer beyond decent special effects and costumes. A really forgettable watch that does not make me one bit more curious about Robinson's works. I do not recommend checking it out, especially unimpressive as he had been in film for a long time already when he shot this movie 10 years ago.

Stephane Gregory Dan I've seen this movie today for the first time and I never heard of it before, probably because of it's poor message. First of all, the directing itself is quite good, the actors played well and the CGI (I'm not a fan of CGI) is magnificent. But that alone doesn't make a movie. No story at all, no message behind beautiful exploited talents.Or do I have to make people remember, the art of a director is not only your vision but to know how to tell a story. And this is what's missing the whole 7 minutes.There for a simple 4 rating.

tonywebman Great short film! My complaint is the same as anyone else who has seen it... it's too short! I would love to see a full-length feature film based on the premise presented here. The marriage of computer graphics and live footage was done well. The acting, direction and story were very good based on what little was presented here. Although the whole "movie" was only about five minutes in length the atmosphere, character development and tension were bang-on (no pun intended). I don't know who is behind this short production but I hope this is a prelude to future developments.Good work!

tony bailey I just loved this short film. The only thing I could say bad about this is... I WANT MORE!!!!!!!The feeling of being a soldier in a place that you could die in at any second was really well brought over. It reminded me of one of my favorite characters from 2000 AD, Rogue Trooper. I expected him to show up at any second :)The acting is also powerful. What a powerful statement for the troops now facing death in foreign lands.Brilliant - Please make this a full length film.Tony
