The short film is more of a display of CGI rather than a story. As a first project, it's a good effort by the filmmaker, but I believe that the story and CGI should have been well balanced. Some of the CGI sequences, especially at the beginning of the film, feels a bit unnecessary and random. Also, due to the lack of depth in the story, I feel like many scenes were uselessly extended. Low light scenes have a lot of noise. I understand that the film had a very limited budget, but with such detailed CGI noise reduction should have been considered.
Coming to the story, it seems to be a bit inspired by The Matrix, but has nothing interesting to offer. The background score of the film is very good. However, in my opinion, it's not worth paying for. Not even the great looking CGI could justify the price tag for the movie. I consider this as a type of short film, which should be available freely on YouTube or other video platforms. I do understand that the producer needs to generate revenue somehow but in my opinion, this model will not work if the movie isn't balanced. Perhaps one should review the journey of the YouTube movie "Kung Fury" and see how one person was able to provide such an entertaining, heavy on CGI, movie with a very limited budget.
