Loved the premise, it makes a good "short." Leaves the audience with the unsettled feeling, yet the captivation is enough for desire for more shorts (continuing a series.) I hope this is something you build upon with more quick stories. Keep up the great work, even if you don't continue this particular story. If you do continue it: make about 5 more parts (shorts) that seem to be different, while making a full movie... those shorts make small parts within. Have fun and good luck

Despite the negative reviews from the critics who were comparing this to... what, a Spielberg film? I thought you guys did a nice job with a limited budget and a lot of enthusiasm. This little 10-minute film probably took weeks, if not months, of script prep, several days of shooting and a huge amount of post-production/editing, and it looks like maybe a handful of people took on the burdens. Yeah, sure, some of the "gotcha" comments did catch a few errors and misses, but those should be meant and taken constructively. Keep at it and improve as you go. Kudos.

Yeah I was totally happy with the quality it was great, and with content you have to be mindful that the short film format has difficulties. I found this one entertaining, but the only problem I have, which is true of many movies, even full budget full length, is that they don't make believable characters. There's no way this chump would go in to a dark unmapped cavern without even proper lighting when he's just found out his last robot was just destroyed by an ugly green bug eyed monster. He'd report in at the very least before going in.

I have to say i had my doubts regarding this short, But i was pleasantly entertained as well as surprised of the quality of effects as well as the acting in this short. You not only captured what mars may possibly look like with great detail but made a believable mission with your story. I would imagine you have your sights set on a career in Hollywood however if you dont you should. This short was better than all the "B" rated films ever created and even better than some of the main line big budget SciFi films. Keep up the great work we un-uncreative minded people need stuff to watch that is not only entertaining and edge of the seat invigorating but believable as well. Thanks for uploading i will be looking forward to your next installment of Mars and what creatures in craters it may hold.
