Oats Studios

It is an experimental show to find out which genre the public likes more in order for the makers to create a feature film. The show is a collection of short movies carrying different, fun ideas. Definitely worth a watch.

I can't really give it a solid good score because it's a lot of short vignettes (roughly 20min) that are the kernels of a potential full length film. So none of the stories have a definitive beginning or ending. But rather just a taste of what could be. The exceptions being the "infomercials". The sci-fi material is solid, however the comedy doesn't really work for me. Pretty much falls flat on its face if I'm honest. Getting back to the sci-fi though. There were a few intriguing concepts that, in my opinion, warrant some looking into. Like Rakka, Firebase, Zygote and perhaps Adam. If you're a movie enthusiast, this might be right up your alley.

Nice selection of sci-fi and fantasy shorts. Would love to see some of them expanded upon. I especially like the God episodes, very amusing, the Vietnam episode and the very short Gdansk.

Love the small "what if" format to flex creative muscles without committing to a story or ending.

There are a few truly intriguing pieces and several I forgot 5 seconds after finishing.

The first half of Gdansk is a feature length movie I personally wish to see.

The live action "comedy" pieces are the least satisfying. It's all been seen before, and some leans politically into opinion pieces on a recent US president. Compared to the shirts around this, it seems a bit juvenile and absent creativity.

Maybe a combined hour to sit through. It won't leave you wanting more, but there are a few nuggets worth sitting through the grit to find.

I rated 5.0 for the show and 7,0 just for the first episode, which would even deserve a particular material. The rest is hard to watch. Just with a lot of good will. All very confusing, inconsistent, irregular and without clear objectives .

At a certain point they use CGI. It looks like a kind of laboratory for kid filmmakers and teen video game programmers.

What did they intend?
