    Found this last night, kinda a quiet one. So don't watch if you expect high action. Quite nicely made though I thought.

    Felt very "Calypso" with the buildings and the massive moon (planet?) hanging in the background.

    What I particularly liked was the way it captured the frightening side of colonisation/exploring. I remember some years ago there was a thread on another forum about how scary it would really be to be a colonist on Calypso. Sort of a "imagine you woke up tomorrow and..." discussion.

  2. It's no way connected to EU tho its a movie short that sees how it would be for a lone human to be on a planet like the moon or mars in our milkyway galaxy.

    If I woke up to find I was on calypso for real I would prob kill my my self after a few days with no food or lack of other people.
    Or I would kill everyone and everything and become a king/god build my own empire and rule over calypso with my own rules my religion my way.

    After watching this Oblivion comes to mind the new movie that's out
     
  3. Enjoyed watching that, the lack of too many special effects made it more real.

    Yeh I enjoyed that although it had some gaping plot holes ;)
     
  5. Yea, I agree - such as the scene with those large spacecraft hovering above the desert just before the atom bomb went off, but the ships were still hovering completely intact, not even slightly damaged.
    Going by the chit-chat between someone in one of the craft and the character on the ground, I got the impression that the guy talking in the spacecraft was responsible for the bomb going off - and this didn't make sense...

    haha I can't actually remember now. I have an APPALLING memory for films. I just remember, in the context of the end, a lot of the rest of the film no longer made sense.
