  1. This was epic. I really enjoyed it.
    Thanks for the awesome work to all involved.

    This was a bit uneventful and predictable. Opening shot was killer and that’s all.

  3. Einer der dilletanttischten Filme die ich je gesehen habe.

  4. Weak writing, just a bubble head.

  5. @weld4200 says:

    Sounds like mechwarrior 2 sounds

  6. Nice video.
    Hints of BSG in there.

  7. @sarahts21 says:

    MechWarrior 2 if I'm not mistaken?

  8. Memo to wannabe Sci Fi movie makers.
    Space ships in micro gravity do not bank in curves like aircraft when they change heading
    There is no lightning in space.
    There is no thunder in space.
    There is no sound in space.
    Avoid copying ANYTHING from the Alien franchise… its been done to death.

    i think this idea has already been captured. Search The Eye: Calanthek

  10. Beginning credits had a name without an underscore symbol like the other names did 😉

  11. learning point for starfighter jockeys out there, always verify your target.

  12. I've been in some sci Fi short films and this is like a dream project. Very cool.

  13. 2:15 why is he moving…? There's no turbulence in space…

  14. Nice. Well done. Thanks.

  15. That wasn't long enough because the majority of the video was the starting of the video and then when things start to happen the video ends

  16. Why are they wobbling in their cockpits? If in space it should be very smooth unless their engines are crap. Small things un scifi bug me. Been a fan since I read I Robot in early 1960s.

    Without titles: 7. With titles:2.
    Do better.

  18. Навид все-таки космос хаббл из чуть крупнее галактик: воображение конечно рисует заводской нефтяной симсити, планеты морско-кратерные казахстаны и атлантиды на фоне аэротумана, может новые дома из оранжевого кирпича, разноцветного желтого, куриный бульон с кардамоном и овсяными клецками, мостовой ботанический сад мог бы быть! Бренд просто овсянка с солью растягивается лет на 30ть:)

  19. 25% credits. 100% garbage. One of the worst shorts I’ve ever seen.

  20. Voice message now … war upon singular Unlimited value alien.

    Purpose Only for universal University to witness a self implosion. What bodies to capture lasting ache … mortality .

  21. Nice short. That MechWarrior shutdown sequence bring me back memories…

  22. Mini masterpiece. The kind of short I'd expect to see on DUST. Lucky I came across it.

  23. @Epoch11 says:

    You guys told the whole story in about 5 minutes. There are plenty of Hollywood movies which are two hours long that can't tell a story. Bonus points for being Twilight Zone esque.

  24. Er hat sich wegen ein zeitsprung selbst vernichtet.

  25. Good for the most part but lightning and atmospheric effects while in space? Stretching the boundaries a little too far that. Other than that an entertaining short movie.

  26. Buck Rogers style craft…thunderstorms in Space hmmm… whatever

  27. This channel's videos and short films are more lazy everyday.
    My opinion.

  28. I'm 73, back in the day, my favorite thing was finding a scifi short story.
    Only a couple of pages long. But, packed with a incredible impact once you read it. This is the same. We'll Done! Thank you.

    Stupid short film

  30. What the fuck was this for? This was a waste of time and money. Guy got trapped in a loop? Come the fuck on, haven't we had enough folks make films on this topic and do it better?

  31. Someone watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica

  32. Someone watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica

  33. Is there any movie like that can someone name them please?? I mean animated

  34. @NetoJ0N says:

    This ship is definitely not a copy of star wars imperial destroyer

  35. The perfect Sci Fi short story.

  36. lights & visuals are great but, this people have no clue about apace & flying in space.

  37. Ease up on the coke and rock a little less in the seat.

  38. @vominator says:

    Didn't know space was so wobbly

  39. Пояснительную пригаду можно?

  40. @316028527 says:

    so much things looks like old BSG except vipers, dradis, …

  41. I'm not sure what the budget for this was but I'm guessing it's nowhere near what disney/marvel spends on the effects for one of their movies. In other words this Battlestar Galactica rip off looks pretty good, but did you guys have to copy the Viper 1 for 1. The midget star destroyer is one thing but I think Edward James Olmos might just beat somebody's ass here

  42. It's all very well done but what jumps out at me is the torpedo thing. I assume that as soon as he saw "Friendly" on the screen he would remote detonate the torpedo, not just watch it continue.

  44. Pretending those were a lost Raptor Squadron from a Battlestar.
    Bravo…FRACKING Awesome!!!

  45. Dear God brother. I'm 2:15 in and you are still interrupting the shots with credits………

    Before the Film, or After the Film. It doesn't take a cinema expert to guess why movies don't put credits in the middle.

  46. what the hell is flying an improved version of the F-16 in the future? It sucks fiction…

  47. @Novafro says:

    Aircraft designs look like a blend of the Battlestar Galactica Viper and Raptor.

    Kinda feels like if BSG was made into a cosmic horror.

  48. Bro why did you delete the log? Only one plane in your squadron would be missing a missile lol.

  49. Using Mech Warrior 2 's voice commands I see ; nice touch

  50. No one would ever know either because he deleted the record.

  51. Love this short timeloop horror, and I love that it feels like a side story from between the two Cylon wars.

  52. time loop i like it

  53. It reminds me of the Isenbrach Horror.

  54. @adam45011 says:

    Great use of MechWarrior 2 sound bits!!!!! “Autopilot engaged” “heat level critical”. Loved it all!!

  55. I like how he is moving back and forth like there is turbulence in space

  56. Nice.The Mech Warrior "mech" computer voice from Mech Warrior 2 was a nice touch too.

  57. Lot of there are from battlestar Galactica…

  58. did I hear some mechwarrior??

  59. I have a little VFX question, was the screen real? like playing a pre made video? Or it was CGI?

  60. why dude move around like he's experiencing turbulence in space?

  61. ахренеть гроза в космосе хорошо дождь не пошел.

  62. The Mech Warrior sounds made me chuckle.

  63. I love that BSG aesthetic.

  64. Why is that astronaut constantly rocking back and forth? It was too annoying to continue with.

  65. I sense a bit of Lovecraft in this one

  66. @Mcyrix says:

    That ship design looks a lot like the one from the Decent pc games. If it is……awesome

  67. That was a waste of time….

  68. Could not watch it to the end actually… The wiggling pilot is hist too distracting. Why is all CGI perfect in movement and the pilot is wiggling nonstop

  69. Toço chato!

  70. @photobobo says:

    There are so many things wrong with this video that I would have to take a whole day out of my life to describe them. Life is to short for that.

  71. That sounds like betty from mechwearrior 2!
