Andrew Bowen in The 716th (2018)
When you are one of the last human combat medics, underfunded and unappreciated for decades in a galactic war, you don't always follow orders. So when Doc (Andrew Bowen) and Asher (John Asher) discover that command has abandoned a pair of injured soldiers on an alien planet, they concoct a risky and unauthorized plan to save them. The heroic but poorly conceived rescue doesn't go quite the way they hoped, sending Doc and the soldiers (Lauren McFall and Taj Speights) on a wild and bumpy ride none of them expected.

    Just good fun

    Andrew Bowen delivers a short film that's a lot of fun but leaves some unanswered questions. My only complaint was that I wanted more. I would recommend this movie because it's just a 15 minute joyride that I'm probably going to go watch again right now.

    Attention producers!!!

    This is the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen. Please someone pick this up and make it into a television show or feature film. Amazon prime, why have you not jumped on this, it is brilliant. Please fund this movie, and make it into an "Amazon original" starring the wonderful cast of the film short- you would make so much money!! This is a beautiful work of art, it was under 15 minutes and comedic and amazingly filmed written and edited and brought a tear to my eye. Please someone fund a longer version of this!!!

    AMAZING !!

    Great story, and the CGI was awesome. I was sad that it was only 15 min. As soon as it ended i started looking for more episodes or hopefully a full length movie...I hope they make more.

    No Ending

    The tendency for sci-fi shorts leaving the ending open has never left me more frustrated. I have a dislike for foul language also, but I understand the realism in this environment. I cannot recall more personality or better chemistry between characters embedded in any film of any length. Incredible writing, precise execution, extraordinary story development, and everything the viewer could ever hope for in less than fifteen minutes leading to...... nothing. Where's the payoff? If I'm willing to donate an emotional investment, I don't think it's too much to ask of the filmmaker to finish what he (they) started. The degree of missed opportunity cannot possiblity be overstated because such adjectives are as absent as the finale this tale deserves.

    • Crazy credits
      Director Andrew Bowen added several hilarious bloopers and outtakes that happened on set to the film's end credits. The sequence is one of the funniest parts of the film!
