A boy with a cellphone shot into his head develops cyber-synesthesia and superpowers.

It has a story and acting. While it’s perfectly watchable, it doesn’t set the scope of the superhero’s powers and ends up being a bunch of deus ex machina.

The world has been selectively-nuked somehow, an EMP is actually a virus or something, and people are being mind controlled somehow I think, and a man is an exception somehow. I don’t get it.

It has a strange unevenness to it, where it’s not light enough to be bubblegum and not serious enough to be.. serious. It does keep on going, with no pause to let you think about how stupid or strange things out.

The only passenger on an extremely long voyage learns the trip isn’t what she thought it would be.

Definitely worth a watch; good, though not great.

The Earth is ruined by aliens, and survivors don’t really.

It’s good, but it’s entire first part comes across like a visual novel and the whole short feels like an awkward intro to a full movie. It’s still a fine effort but not strongly recommended. Flagged as both liked and disliked.

Following the skeleton crew of one of the scout ships the remainder of humanity has sent to explore various colony candidates.

Quite good given it’s meager budget.

Enlarged pigs are bred, but eco-terrorists want humanity to starve.

Childish, and with a shit premise.

An eyedrop-delivered memory augmenting nanotech is as horrifying as it sounds.

Fantastic premise, writing and acting. A real winner.
