Am a disabled boomer with some twichtes that come of being a professional U.S. soldier during the Cold War. Long before I signed on the dotted line my best friends could not understand that sometimes it comes to tooth and claw. So cool to see what the kids (which are everyone my kids age of younger) are doing with technology: Am counting on them as the 'grred is good!' faction of my generation sold out the legacy; which some of us recognized all along, that our fathers and mothers earned for us. So sad that so much of the output is so dystopian. Had a Sci Fi class on the way to my degree (BA 1973) that caused me to buy a three volume anthology (my oldest digested every page) and onty one story was so far gone that I could not suspend my sense of disbelief. Came the plague and Jack Vance's "The Moon Moth" suddenly became a thing. Wish we had not left such a mess, but I still believe you can do it. You are all better prepared for the future than we were. Yes. Expand on it, but please let truth, justice and love carry the field. I cannot live in a world bereft of what a single act of courage can do for us all.

Stories are told with dialogue. Here, the score overwhelms the dialogue at times making the story hard to follow. I sit with my hand on the mouse, adjusting volume back and forth -- up to hear the dialogue as best I can, then down when no one is speaking. If captions had been available I would have set the volume to the score and read the story.

Question? What happened to all the "Subtitles/Closed Captions" for all the newer Dust programs? Sometimes the sound for these are really low, so it's nice to be able to read what is being said. All of the older Dust movies had this. But now with these newer Dust movies I find myself if I can barely hear what the actors are saying, then I'll just stop the movie and go watch something else. That wasn't a good move whoever came up with not making that available for these videos anymore because these stories are so good.

Decent. Personally, the better film imo would tell a story about the events leading up to this. Also, what was the point of sending out these broadcasts? Just words of encouragement? The technology is advanced enough to allow for space travel but the resistance can’t send a direct message to their own people about the data shard? Imo it would’ve made more sense for the bad guys to covertly intercept a secret message between resistance groups. I’d be interested in seeing more if this has a unique story. If this is just another version of Star Wars then no.
