Singularity

Honest review....It was really well done. Compared to half the other tripe I've seen on YouTube this was one of the good ones. Well edited, well ADR'd, nice color grading and the acting wasn't OTT or hammy. The visual effects were really well done, subtle and not cheap looking. The editing had a great pace to it. The production value was really well done.

The story was nothing new or overly original but it was executed really nicely. I wanted to see more at the end. I see many have mentioned an over use of strobe. Not a big deal, It didn't bother me.... and I LOVE the fact you didn't use shaky cam to fake excitement. Kudos.

It is easy to not have a real good impression about "Singularity" before see it. the subject is not new, the conflict - almost dusty. but it has a special virtue - it is a well craft expression. all the details, ignored in other action films are presented in the admirable manner in this case. the cinematography, the story, the performances, the end. all in precise and powerfull manner. so, nothing original. but, in strange manner, this is the lead virtue.

A brilliant short film with low budget that really shows that not only Hollywood with it's millions of dollars can make great movies. Everyone should watch this. It's only 10 minutes long, so you can easiely watch it in you're break. As I don't want to write any spoilers in this review and it has to be 10 lines long (wich is pretty hard to reach for a 10 minute movie) I just have to say again that this is probably one of the best short films I've ever seen. It really competes with big-screen movies and I would actually wish that there would be a feature lenght movie about this short-film. Sorry for my bad English btw as I am from Austria.

This is a dynamite rescue film that manages to deliver a punch in just a few minutes. The graphics work well and the plot is solid. I can only say that economy is so critical to these short film and this is no exception. There are some precise uses of the technology. One of the better shorts.

I've seen full length Hollywood movies with superstar casts and $50-million budgets that were not as good as this.
