HENRi

Watching this was like eating an appetizer full of Monosodium glutamate (MSG), that was usually added at Chinese Restaurants, and after eating many plates full of Chinese food you still felt empty.

This was like watching only the end of a well produced Full Length Science Fiction Movie, leaving so much not known about what happened to get to the Ending. And NOT knowing if the creators intend on making a Full Length Science Fiction Movie starting at the beginning.

Depending on the time (Year) of this, the Technology would have been 3d Printable Technology,

I didn't know what to expect from this short. After seeing posts on Facebook by the Philip K Dick Film Festival, including a trailer, I decided to buy it online and just finished watching it and the "making of" which was just as interesting. I have to admit that this is only the second online movie purchase I've made.

For hard Sci-Fi fans, especially devotees of 2001, this is a must have short in your collection. A few of the miniatures shots are less than perfect, but overall the suspension of disbelief holds.

I have to say, without Keir Dullea this piece would lose much of its impact. The dichotomy of the relationships from 2001 (Bowman/HAL) and HENRi (Calvin/HENRi) would still be present, but having the same actor that played Dave Bowman is a true stroke of genius. The scene with Margot Kidder sets up the ending. I hope a feature length film is in the works already to set up the mission and the events in this short!
