Ghost Recon: Alpha

I really enjoyed this. I don't play video games, even those first person shooters as I believe they are called. I'd rather spend my time at my gun club shooting my wide collection of 50+ rifles and handguns. But enough of my digression. Though I have no plans to ever waste my time playing video games and will leave that to our sedentary youth, I would absolutely love to see this short film come to the small screen as a series or to the big screen as a sequel-ized series of films. It is definitely a commercially feasible production with great acting, fantastic action, and exception special effects. So, if any of the producers are reading this, please take a hint from this over 45 reviewer...make it into a series and you'll have big ratings, plus you'll ongoing advertising for your video game.

I got my hopes up (as a crazy Tom Clancy fan) but you don't make the same mistake. Look at it as a very well made Video Game cut-scene or intro video, I promise you won't go home empty handed.

The production design, weapons, guns, uniforms and gear were very accurate and convincing. The automated killing machine is truly scary and whoever designed the image processing interface on the devices knew what he was doing.

Did I also mention the most awesome invisibility cloak ever!?

Story? Let's not ruin the fun... The same super worn-out Russia vs. US tale with some bad guys trying to get their hands on Russian nukes. If you read Tom Clancy books, he can tell an amazing story from the same genre over and over. But "Ghost Recon" is only 'designed' by Clancy, not actually written by him.

I really hope with this crew, comes a better sequel: FUTURE SOLDIER

Semper Fi!

This was a blast and incredibly fun to watch -BIG THANKS TO THE BOYS IN CAMERA AND BEHIND!

It felt like watching some classic and tense action I had not seen in decades, reminded me of the SWAT series when I was a kid, but totally revamped and mixed with ROBOTECH...

People producing big budget action movies should take a few lessons from this. Forgert Rambo, never mind the Expendables -they ARE expendable indeed!

Movies like this, short or long, have been missing from the movie market for a long time. Even if you do a generic action movie, you have to nail the action and the suspense in the right blend so that even if you don't care about whats going on (a stolen nuke... again) at least you care about what happens to the characters -of whom, really, you just know they are some kind of special soldiers.

These people could do a modern remake of The Guns of Navarone and totally hit the mark -fast paced action and suspense, in a hight tech setting with an infiltration and assassination plot.

And I never liked the Ghost Recon games!

This is an excellent Short !!!

I was hesitant at first and probably expecting very little in 20 minutes. Boy, was I more wrong. This Short really blew me away from start to finish with no lag time in the action.

Great pace and fluid story told in near future-tense. It is well directed with great special effects and camera work. Acting is surprisingly well done as well

Rhea Scott should be proud. One would hope that this could be a full feature release some day.

Thanx Again.

This was a very exciting short film. Nice direction, good plot, very surprising and good acting. Good graphic control and the lights were very nicely set up. The animations/CGI are good but need to be improved. The speed of the film seems to be correct. The future war series can have many innovative ideas and can also be a mix of The Matrix, Terminator, Predator, and such themes.

I hope the team gets enough funding to start a TV series. At least a TV mini-series can easily be started off. One element required in TV series is "Drama". I think the team can add this element in it very easily. Cheers to all the team! Eagerly waiting for the next part.
