So, first she convinced the poor lad to leave earth and become an alien slave. Then she made sure they get as late as possible along the way, while also criticizing and judging him for hurrying up to the ship. In the end, when he is finally ready to go be an alien puppet, she tells him that he has changed and decides to stay behind and die instead. What a nice story.

And he had no opportunity to meet a different woman? Come on. Sure, she's a bleeding heart that cares about others. Boohoo. You can all decide to be with a heartless bitch if you want. The moment she dumps any of your asses to say, "Be seeing you sucka" you'll swear up and down she was the best? He could have decided he does not want to be with someone like that. At any point.

[@cobaltblue1975]

To put a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits slant to it: The final ships sound their horns and lift off. With all of the alien's newly acquired livestock/slave labor safely restrained; the signal is sent to a ship parked just outside our solar system to switch its holographic generator off. The purple hue gives way to cool moonlight cast across the beach. The scene fades from the couple's astonished faces to a classically designed room with a lit fire place glowing against the fine wood embellishments of a study lined with old books. Against the crackling of burning logs a shadowed figure raises a bubbly champagne filled glass and pierces the relative silence. "A toast! Here's to a fresh infusion of technology and a population size far more manageable. What a fine punctuation to decades of negotiation! It was a very reasonable transaction." Comfortable in a decadently upholstered chair another takes a sip and contemplates. "Yes, more manageable, but willing to die. There will surely be outrage." "Ah yes, but the outrage is always desired. Its the sweet chorus of confusion and anger we wait for before we provide a solution. The outrage will eventually give way to their pride of staying behind. We'll see to that. And when it does, we'll be ready to 'protect' them and insure such an unfortunate deception never happens again.......as we always have." Scene fades out to light laughter.

[@copernicus6420]

+R Hayat wow. correct. to be honest, i didnt think you are asking out of this possibility. the word "visibile" had mislead me. it depends on the position of the supernova in the sky and the position of the observer. remember that the days are much longer near north pole. this means the sun is visible a very long time at those positions even if the earth is rotating.similarly, the supernova can be seen most of the 24 hours if its position produces a similar condition for north america. moreover, judging from actor's clothes it is winter. which means days are short.which increases the possibility of nigh vision.

[@andjesussaid2343]

I love the acting & premise of this film, now for some facts: It's pretty unanimous among scholars who study this that being from 50 to 100 light-years is the closest safe distance between Earth and a supernova. We're pretty certain which stars will go supernova in the future, they give off unmistakable markers. Spica a is the closest star that could go supernova it is 240 light-years from Earth. Spica has several times the mass of the Sun, & it shouldn't go off for a few million years yet. The super giant red star Betelgeuse, located in Orion's belt will definitely go supernova, in fact it may have already happened, it's located 430 light-years away, so if it went supernova 400 years ago, we wouldn't know until it's light reached us in another 30 years, BTW this would be one spectacular light show, but not have any effects on us...

[@denniswiggins3816]

I could see a story involving an Alien civilization fleeing their dying world and turning up at Earth. Would they be aggressive and militaristic with higher technology. Would they be carbon based? We can't assign human morality, culture and feelings to a completely alien species. Not every alien race is going to be E.T. and furry Ewoks.

[@markfisher5119]

The thumbnail description seems misleading to me: It's never clear whether the aliens offer only slavery as the price of survival. The film strays from its original theme of a life of slavery vs a death in freedom. The slavery bit is dispensed with in the second half of the story; it's just about the couple's race to survive, only to turn away at the moment of rescue for the most emotional and irrational of motivations. The female character is indeed a pain in the keyster, but nobody's perfect, and the man can't bring himself to leave her behind. Oh well, scratch two.

[@meme9492]

To those that chose a life of slavery over death: Remember...having something is sometimes worse than wanting it. Or...to quote an old favorite: be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

Apart from some scientific inaccuracies, i was troubled with the side most filmmakers take on: The worst and usually the most irrational way of human behavior. I am referring to the shootout at the house with the old man, a man who without reason would rather choose to shoot a girl in dire circumstances. Of course, it is an easy way to create some drama scenes, but still is something I do not like seeing in many films. Take the convenient way isn't always the best thing to do to create some action/drama scenes. Other than that, the film is well narrated and with good acting. The story is very good as to the dilemma it represents. What I would like to see is a continuation of what is life in the slave spaceships.

When he says they will own us he means that we are at the mercy of the aliens. Humanity looses it's freedom of choice because it will be in a huge debt to the aliens and they can do with humanity what they want. So if this situation would hypothetically happen it should be a new begining in my opinion. To leave behind our divided and violent past. Starting a revolution against the hand that once helped you isn't a good start.

[@roberthpilesund384]

+NonameFTW This is from the description under the short film: " an alien race has offered humanity a deal: Be our slaves or be left to die." Doesnt sound much like a theory...

[@mikewashington4188]

Maybe a Super Nova is how our “Simulation” developer RESETs everything.

[@forestsky7064]

Seemed like a real possibility of how things will end for ERth...as in a Super Nova 'radiation wave' destroying Earth. Not so sure about space crafts coming here like that, yet, it's definitely possible. I definitely give this short film a 10/10. It deserves a high score due to everything. Well done!

[@donaldstorm4959]

They should have both when I have nothing else to say. It's a shame for Humanity needed people like these on their ships not to be wasted on Earth to be killed.

[@cindykane6479]

Hell no! Who knows what the future holds for the people who went up in the ships. We know next to nothing of the ship owner’s intentions. Like the graffiti said, I’d remain on Earth rather than possibly be a slave or worse. There are worse things than death. A supernova crash would be so fast, like an ant’s experience when killed by a shoe stepping on it. At least that is how I feel about this!

[@jaakkovahanen]

Not too bad as a whole. The woman though was frustratingly dumb, and took away some of the viewing pleasure.

[@olivierb9716]

the canadian patriot have a problem with humanity, great job patriot

[@reeblesnarfle5443]

Touching, yet moving. I get what you were going for. Special fx off the hook! And IT WILL come to this at the end, and probably much more violent. I like your tranquil ending. Gives a little hope to the situation we WILL be in. Quality time.😪

[@bryanrobie4376]

Yes, it's on the way this year. Keep your eyes on the skies ...

[@neilmackenzie4394]

Evelen, she's about useless, she gives away their water, she won't fight the old guy in the house, stands there in the kitchen with a perfectly good knife, gives her partner all kinds of grief, finally makes it to the ship, changes her mind then backs out at the last minute. What is the point of her even living?

[@delavalmilker]

Wow! There's a lot packed into this 20 minute film. VERY provocative questions. Highly original. Can't believe the negative and idiotic comments here. Probably from adolescents who've never done anything more challenging in life than a video game. This 20 minute short This film is sci-fi at its best. Presenting uncomfortable and even unpopular viewpoints.

[@bigbuck3216]

Thats what happens when you let a simple minded drama queen make the decisions - " Lets stay here and be atomized by gamma rays"

[@1badjesus]

I FOR ONE welcome our Insect Overlords...

[@stevelangdon3250]

thank you Kent Brockman

[@xerejuneseve6333]

Better than most of the full-length movies.

[@بنزيانالجزائري]

An important message about the value of our planet and how fortunate we are today.

[@randydicotti3975]

Ignore all the negative comments. For the price of admission, this was EXCELLENT entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for this fascination tale and awesome graphics.

[@loufher284]

I"d be like OKAY BYE!!!

[@debraj.thomas661]

Great story, should of showed the aliens and their true purpose of helping.

[@look2jesus777]

Right, that could have been a good ending, a little twist at the end. That's what a lot of classic sci-fy will do.

[@misterjei]

Pets, cannon fodder, or food. What would an interstellar civilization want with organic slaves anyway?

[@Quantiad]

'should have' Debra, 'should have'.

[@omulu4007]

IKR? Like, the aliens engineered the supernova in the first place, huh? Nice plot twist!

[@sbalogh53]

Nah, script was too busy showing us how a woman can hold you back and help you commit suicide.

[@MaluluKeleGuiSila]

Death by sypanova or Aliens? Which do you pick? I pick Aliens. Remember they could've appeared long before the supanova threat to invar but they only appeared when it happened, when earth was in distress mode.

[@eyecomeinpeace2707]

This reminds me too much of the Twilight Zone episode: To Serve Man.

[@lotussavage1283]

Sypanova?? supanova??

[@denniswiggins3816]

The aliens: "To serve mankind"..... Human last minute discovery: "Its a cookbook!"

[@johnyted]

I loved the story. When we love, and depending on what we love, life becomes surprising. Sometimes we do not have to be superheroes to discover that our strength is greater than life itself, making us understand that existence is only a detail and that we need more to complete ourselves - this is what gives meaning to our lives: to live but more fully. Fantastic!

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Most have been good short movies. This one, not so much and I couldn't finish watching it.

[@raymondnoya5653]

I ain't going in no damn spaceship !

[@jawoodsiii]

Good plot concept. Just hate knowing people like them would rather see the human race go extinct than make a small sacrifice and risk becoming someone or something else to survive.

[@robertfromcalifornia4111]

If the girl annoyed you, she did her job of stirring your emotions as an actor is supposed to do.

[@victorvictor8587]

The Human Being has Conveniently Forgotten How Many Times Intelligent Beings have Saved the Organisms on This Planet to Include the Human Beings .

[@SkyWriter25]

Yeah, sure. A civilization with the technology to build star ships is going to want "primitive" humans for slaves. Makes perfect sense.
