SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

robyndemers If you enjoy horror movies, especially sci-fi horrors, this short is great. It's honestly one of the best I've seen. Like another reviewer said, I'd like to see it made into a full-length film - I understand that it probably wouldn't add a whole lot that's new to the genre, but I think I'd still be able to enjoy it. It has a unique approach to how the creature comes about, and the creature is definitely unique looking, some aspects maybe being loosely pulled from "The Thing", and definitely creepy, and the graphics for it are well done. After watching it, I did find myself wanting to learn more, and see the end results, and I think that with a short film, that's what you want your audience to feel. I didn't even recognize Dakota Fanning until I looked at IMDb to read reviews and saw she was in it (though that was a definite 'duh' moment). She does a great job alongside Jose Pablo Cantillo, so it's good to see she didn't fall down the same rabbit hole so many child stars do - either falling apart and getting into drugs, or disappearing from film altogether. Giving it a 10/10, as I've watched it twice, and it's still enjoyable (although watching it a second time, you're prone to notice different things.. like a hand that won't let go of a boob.)Definitely worth 20 minutes of your time, and I hope they do more with it.

frankietimoz What should I say about this short film....well lets start with the fake reviews!To the IMDb liars who compared this movie to 'The Thing' and 'Life' I hope there is a special place for you in bell, lol, there really is no comparison! It doesn't even deserve being mentioned in the same breath. As for praising Dakota Fanning she was uber lame, maybe she can act but she showcased absolutely none of her acting skills in this movie! The monster, script and dialogue were all shocking. The best part of this film was the end which mercifully comes fairly quickly. I urge you to watch this pathetic excuse for entertainment and make your own minds up. Just don't pay any money to do so or those involved may be able to make more films this would be a travesty/tragedy. As for the low score it may be a tad harsh it's possibly a 3 but a few 1's will re-balance the ridiculously high fake score this debacle currently enjoys! Shame IMDb used to be very reliable but these charlatans posting fake scores are destroying the sites credibility.... Off with their heads.

nlasser There is nothing innovative or new about this short apart from one image. The idea and execution seem more tired than anything else, and i got the feeling of a few excited kids getting their hands on a lot of high-tech gear and funds and not really knowing what to do with it - which is kind of a shame. So there's a lot of effort here, but at the end this was more boring than anything else.

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) *** This review may contain spoilers ***Director/writer Neill Blomkamp did a wonderful job directing this visually appealing and imaginative Sci-Fi/Horror short film. Clearly this type of film is in his wheelhouse having directed the likes of Chappie, Elysium and District 9 - all in my top favorite films of all time.His imagination in the creation of the creature was unusually pleasant and creepy - mission accomplished, although I may have chosen a different sound for the creature other than sounding asthmatic.Dakota Fanning's character and performance as Barklay was on point and very well executed. However, Jose Pablo Cantillo's character as Quinn was a little overboard - in the characters dialogue and in his acting.The plot certainly had many holes, the biggest being how everyone died, including soldier Quinn. Yet Barklay, just a young girl with little combat experience managed to take the creature down all on her own with just a handgun, and managed to make it to the protected 'safe room' where no one else with access was able to do so.So although the directing, cinematography/VFX, editing and sound/score were all great, it fell short for me on the writing. Nevertheless, certainly enjoyable for a time-limited short film, and I recommend this to all who enjoy a good sci-fi horror.It's an 8/10 from me.
