Ambition

I think this short film is really good, as the Rosetta mission is very relevant right now, and because it gives us an idea of what we could potentially learn from landing on this comet. Aidan Gillen and Aisling Franciosi both play very well and give a depth and mystique to the characters, even though we only know them very briefly.

The special effects in Ambition are awesomely well made, and even though we don't have very much of an idea about what's going on most of the time, it doesn't matter, because it keeps your attention and gets its point through. The effects are classic within Science Fiction movies and look extremely real. The music is also very intriguing and I could listen to it for many hours.

This short film also teaches you about the mission in itself and what ESA's goals are with it, because Ambition takes place in the future, where the Rosetta mission has been the beginning of that society and our ability to colonize other places of the galaxy. This short film is all about the significance of water for our survival, and how, since comets are made up of ice and dust, we might be able to extract water from them, and therefore find another source of water, if we were to colonize other planets.

It's very interesting, and I would strongly recommend it. It only takes 5 minutes, after all...

This is a beautifully produced short film to draw attention to the Rosetta mission that's sent a probe to a comet in order to determine if it contains water, and which then could explain how water ended up on earth.

Aidan Gillen from Game of Thrones is believable and brings presence to his role of 'Master', teaching a young girl the art of planet building, perhaps? That's not really explained. But it doesn't really matter for the purposes of this short film.

The effects are top notch and I'd happily watch a full length movie that expanded on the story and characters.

Watching this made me think "wow, why don't more movies have exposition scenes this good?" and considering it is a 5~ minute short dedicated to getting you interested in the Rosetta space mission that's about the best praise it can have, right?

This honestly makes me want an entire movie about this master/student pair, IDK, going on her first real nanomachine mission in space to do some sick exploration and getting into some hijinks and having this as an exposition scene before it starts / to show her becoming ready. Also the poster is sick.
