    familiar elements

    The story. well known. the dialogues. familiar from darl utopias. the performances. almost blank. and the end. as beginning of adventure. a film of crumbs. from novels, films, theate plays. and, maybe, this represents the basic motif to see it. a young man. looking for truth. and the steps to it.

    I spoil nothing (the entire plot is in the summary) when I state this has been done in both Logan's Run and THX-1138... and quite a bit better.

    While this short presents a couple of decently-acted roles by unknowns, that is the high-point of this very-predictable-plot. With nearly a half hour to develop their story, the fact that there was pretty much no story development and a lack-luster ending makes this film less interesting than a good TV commercial.

    Lesson to producers / directors: start with a great script and you might wind up with a great film. Fail to do so and you wind up with this.

    Weak!

    Does anyone ever tell us what happens? It's becoming so cheap to eliminate the result of a bold action. But first we need to be let in on the situation. What are these people really up to with their sewing machines. Is their only product body bags? Burial suits? They live under the heel of some sort of government agency and a nasty supervisor. Loyalty is played like a piano.
