    Why must science be so boring?

    I've never met a scientist as dull and lifeless as they are portrayed in movies. I get that Hollywood types don't encounter people with above average intelligence in their daily lives. If they'd venture beyond their self-induced ignorance chamber once in a while they'd be shocked to learn scientists are real, actual human beings with personalities and interests beyond their area of expertise.

    The premise of this movie was interesting but the script made it deadly. I dozed off several times and had to rewind, only to see I missed absolutely nothing. The film could be cut down to a commercial without losing anything. Half the film is about how rich the scientists will become creating a radio to listen to aliens so far advanced we're all Hollywood types in comparison. It simply makes no sense.

    As for the dialog: words cannot express what those words could not express.

    Three stars for an interesting concept. Zero stars for the plodding direction, atrocious acting, dreary sets, dull background music, first year film student camera work, and tepid editing.

    Three stars.

    Science geeks and techies should love this film.....which by the way is not a 'short' film.

    This is a very watchable movie from down under. Full of science lingo and tech jargon that's sure to please anyone interested in that sort of stuff, which I am. There was enough solid sounding math, science, and technology terminology to keep the film grounded in this universe though. The acting and overall production was quite pleasing given the low budget type film, which by the way was way better than most other low budget films I've seen. The overall premise of the film was solid and had good mystery and fulfilling drama with characters trying to solve impossible problem, working out the details to get problem solved, animosity and confrontation between characters, family drama, character flaws, compromise, global impact, etc, etc....The script was also brilliantly written given all the math and science lingo that went into this film, plus it moved at a good pace so you didn't get bogged down to much in any one of the plot points. Although a little bit of the acting was cheesy, most of it was very good and I never felt like fast forwarding or turning it off. Plus none of the characters committed the ultimate sin of 'people doing totally unrealistic and stupid things that nobody in any frame of mind would ever do'. I hate that type of drama, which is rampant, and I start yelling at the TV. Those writers need to scratch their heads a bit more and make it more believable. There was none of that in this film. The production was also very high given the budget and the props and technology displayed were spot on and led to the credibility of the film. This is a film you should see if science and technology are your thing. Way to go.

    A Quanta of Decent Character Driven Sci-Fi

    A frustrated & obsessed scientist loses his job, but just can't let go of his project - the data & information transfer from Dark Matter/Energy which makes up 95% of the universe as we know it(all of the information of, & in, the Cosmos).

    A lot of creative license is used, but I found the movie really enjoyable & the characters likeable (although his assistant was an arrogant spoiled brat that you really wanted to chastise in the most gratuitous fashion possible at times) which carried the story of the costs of obsession, the arrogance that can come with high intellect if it's not kept in check & the unforeseen consequences of causality when it's not.

    It was also a warning of putting powerful new tech out into the world without proper R&D, without fully understanding it & the consequences of giving people more knowledge than they can understand (& how it can induce mental health issues & suicide in the wrong hands). Too late for the internet, mobile phones & social media in the real world, obviously!

    A warning to all of the dangers of tech, AI & the abuse of technology. Don't lose your humanity people.

    Terrible Script!

    Another low-b film that goes nowhere and ends nowhere. The script has the same horrible dialogue that so many low-b films have. I wanted to like this film coming out the gates but as the minutes rolled by, I realized that I was wasting my time.

    A discovery. Something cosmic about said discovery. Disagreement on how to handle the discovery. Government (or in this case a University) wants to hide and control the discovery. Sadly, the entire film is about the arguing of the discovery rather than exploring the discovery. Seriously!

    This film is a lot of the same that we've seen in so many other small films yet nothing new or interesting. Watch at your own risk, the risk of wasting your time. the good news is that after watching this film, I quickly began to forget what I had just watched, so almost as if it had never happened.

      The second feature film from the creators of Arrowhead (aka Alien Arrival), with the same producing team (Jesse O'Brien, Christian D'Alessi and Ben Whimpey) and cinematographer (Samuel Baulch). Like Arrowhead, Quanta was filmed on a shoestring budget.
