Intransit

At the time of this writing, there is no option for rating. I'd give this about a 4.5. It's not a bad film, just somewhat pointless. No story to speak of, no special effects, decent acting but that's about all it's got going for it. Very slow, no real high points. I find myself regularly mentioning in reviews of shorts: SCRIPT people... script. Tell a story. Otherwise, don't bother.

I think they could do a better job with the log line. It's really a very touching love story and I'm amazed at how much they could develop in that short time. The sound track is great and the actors are perfect. Watch it with a friend!

There's something about this short film which really captured my interest. I think, upon reflection, it is the fact that so much is left unsaid -- only the bare bones are supplied, and we have to imagine a great deal. For me, that works very well.

I have the thought that this film might be the sort of escape fantasy many teenagers might yearn for, stuck as many are in lives which seem bereft of hope.

The actors are excellent, and though the story does not surprise overmuch, it is still executed very well. Creating a sci-fi film in such a prosaic location particularly impressed me; more special effects would have spoiled the matter-of-fact environment in which the events take place.

In short, I loved it, and I will go back to it again whilst it is on Amazon Prime.

Let's take a lifetime to say I knew you well For only time will tell us so And love may grow For all, we know

------------ A girl in transit wakes up on the beach. While waiting for her parents she strikes up a conversation with a passing boy. The casual encounter becomes more intense as they search for her parents together.

This short is very well composed. If the presentation had been any longer it would have had to have unnecessary fillers, more red herrings, slower music, and we could easily have been bored before it reached the end.

All the actors were excellent in their parts, and you felt like you were one of them.

I came across this on Amazon Prime, and I wasn't really in the mood for a full-length film. I started to watch, and my wife was taken with the scenery and story. Like most good short stories, much is implied but left unsaid. The special effects are limited to Candra's clothes, her watch, and the transition effect. As a result, the viewer has to work out quite a few of the details for themselves. Smart story telling: we appreciate it. I enjoyed the characters, the setting, and the story. I think the pace lagged a bit in a few spots, and I would have either liked a few more details about the characters or a bit faster pacing. As it was, my wife and I both enjoyed it, and we were hoping this was a precursor to a longer story. We both agree that we would watch a longer story that goes into more depth about events before, during, and after the events in this short.
