A bit mysterious and deep, but not bad for a short one hour animation

Telly 2022-04-21 09:01:53

This animated film is only one hour in total, which is relatively short, and it is also relatively short in terms of the storyline, but the overall appearance is quite compact, which is quite good.

The overall background is based on the story of the end of the world. Humans create artificial intelligence robots. This robot can continue to create other machines, thereby generating an army. Later, machines rebelled and machines fought with humans. This theme was still more in those years. There are very few movies like this now.

From the current point of view, the overall process is relatively common. There are 9 different roles, representing different forces or ideas. Later, it is explained that the 9 roles are split from different personalities of scientists, which is also very reasonable.

I feel that the shortcomings are that many places are very mysterious, and I do not further explain what is going on. I feel that in the context of a hard science fiction, a soft science fiction story is told. The script and the director themselves should want to convey a deep idea, but I feel that the method and medium of storytelling are not particularly suitable for this.

  • 1: When we awoke in this world, it was chaos. Man and machine attacked each other with fire and metal. I lead us here to sanctuary and here we waited for the war to end. Slowly, the world became silent. The only thing that remains now is The Beast. So we stay hidden, and we wait for it too, to sleep.

    9: But where did it come from? Why is it hunting us?

    1: Questions like that are pointless. We need to protect ourselves; keep ourselves out of danger.
