A Sci-Fi Short Film : "Darkwave: Edge of the Storm" - by Darkwave Pictures | TheCGBros

[@bass3587]

I didn't even realize 23 minutes had elapsed. Great movie, please send more.

[@iaincaillte3356]

The great advantage of these short films can also be a disadvantage, especially if you're looking to have everything wrapped up and tied with a bow, maybe ready for the sequel. All of these films require more input from the viewer, more imagination. These films remind me so much of the science fiction that was being written in the 1960's and early 1970's. Those books were a challenge to read just as these films are a challenge to watch. Keep them coming!

[@EricFrock]

I both love and hate these short films. Always leave me wanting more!

[@Lissi2233]

oh no, this was way too short, i want to hear more....great si-fi-story.....very interesting plot and great actors. This one deserves a full length movie!

[@leonestello]

I mean... it doesn't give you much. It delights your imagination as to what it could be with all these things but never has any real context, just some long drawn out point she talks to her dad and it gets on... And on... And on and on and on. I do like the acting, they made me feel immersed somehow when there was nothing to be immersed in. This does have the feel of a fully fleshed out series but 24 minutes didn't scratch the itch it created. It really did nothing for all the great stuff this actually had. I thoroughly enjoyed it but they opened way too many doors and then proceeded to slammed them in our faces just as we came close

[@paulosborne6517]

RAF Stenigot ACE HIGH installation, before the transmitter bunker was razed to the ground and three of the dishes sold off for scrap by the farmer. Been inside and around this place many times.

WTF?? Did I miss something? I guess I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

[@bluelava4282]

Good story and special effects thanks again CGBros 🎥

[@piperalpha5514]

Usually these short films are great but this one told you nothing and took you nowhere.

[@corners3755]

everybody is looking for the boy. It looked like the bad guys found them first but it was the good guys.

[@IdaliaMay]

I don't like how they made a 10 year old boy seem so fucking oblivious.

[@jahempress26]

I'm very picky about my movies, but I have to disagree that you, you missed it

[@freyatilly]

1st class. Very dramatic. Gripping story. Super spfx and design. Well scripted. This is like Ep1 of a long run, yet to be made. Fantastic pilot episode. Nice work. The negative voices on other comments are missing the point. This is a fabulous production.

[@malalford]

Dad: The best thing you can do is keep safe. Sarah: I know David: (*over radiio} Sarah! Where are you? Its not safe Sarah: (*Jumps out of vehicle, runs toward area that is not safe) Hahaha

[@lanreb920]

Same thoughts....

[@AngryKittens]

**Ships screaming in, explosions happening, parents screaming their heads off** "Mommy, I found a star!"

[@jamiet4295]

"START THE FUCKING ENGINE" would have been much better than asking "where are you?"

[@slowride2961]

That’s what Sarah’s do.

[@susandunnells6047]

Well this was good but it sure left me with a bunch of questions.

[@littlekahli2781]

It wasn't the bad boys that found them. It was the good guys....they were rescued.😊

[@Sabfoodstory]

I'm speechless.. What a masterpiece plz make more😩

[@paolomartini150]

Another beginning of a story that we will never know. So great. Really.

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

Are those Jonny Quest pteradactyls shrieking at 21:36?? Awesome!

[@SNP-1999]

I saw that coming as soon as I saw that crystal and the parent's reaction : Scene 24.1; Kid holds deadly crystal, says "Look what I found, Mummy !" 🌟

[@wills8288]

Brilliant production. Post Hollyweird . . . this is the future of the film industry which I can say with a huge sigh of gratitude.

[@CensorshipVictim]

This needs to be made into a full length movie ASAP

[@johnnyj540]

We don't need another movie with no plot.

[@donkenmuir9504]

Were is more of this it’s so good Worth watching we need more of this

[@bluenetmarketing]

They don't come any better than this! Everything is first rate first rate first rate! The line "Look Mommie, I found a star" is priceless. You are all stars with this short.

[@trig6712]

Brilliant , good

[@raptorekpl]

Very good. But no plot resolution, it just stops. But as a proof of concept for a full movie, well done guys.

[@voider6672]

Could I suggest that you watch it again and concentrate?

[@benkyd7874]

how dose the plot get resolved?

[@rupertblitherington-smythe6809]

he came for us

[@brettb9194]

I will give it a "has potential" rating - the idea of FTL and crystals and persons capable of doing something with them is intriguing and they did a pretty good job of making things look alien. The characters were both annoying - doing stupid stuff inconsistent with the severity of their situation.

[@SouthernOceanBlue]

I would definitely watch a full movie of this. Cleverly conceived and skilfully executed. I've recommended this short to all my students.

[@romans828.]

That was the most bad ass fighter I've ever seen Hollywood included!

[@309nmblonde]

Fabulous. Feature film? That would be nice. Story is reasonable, acting is outstanding, and music is perfect.

[@MarkPhillipsRoShin]

Absolutely brilliant. You made me want to see more. This was so much better than half the crap on TV. Thank you very much.

[@biggdogg35810]

DUDES!! There HAS to be a part 2 to this! Wow, phenomenol job bros!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@biggdogg35810]

I'm halfway done and felt compelled to let you guys know that this is a tremendous mini-film. I'm really enjoying this; thoroughly gives me my sci-fi fix!

[@davidhunter1538]

That was really good. The acting was pretty good. The effects were pretty good. The dialogue kept my attention. The end was open (Part two?).

[@GlasgowGallus]

Smashin... lots of effort and very well done. All the best for a future production guys...

[@douglasbrannon6525]

seems like the director was the only who knows what this film is about

[@Tsiri09]

I REALLY want to see this as a full-length feature- perhaps a series!

[@TheMALOUMARQUEZ]

This should be a movie!

[@afinewhitehorse]

Full length! Where is the rest of this? Stop with the teasers, you're killing me :)

[@stephanieroumeguere353]

I had exactly the same. Loved the bird airplane which wants to protect Them. Movie , cinema, whatever.... I crave to see more....

[@jad43701]

Dear Lord...Get this into full production immediately. I want more !

[@billtzalas6673]

Excellent work! It was really an enjoyable short to watch. Of course the script leaves some things unresolved,and its a pity. Perhaps 2-3 more mins to explain the importance of the child, its power and what are those crystals all about would be necessary. Other than that brilliant work. Wish there was a second episode or something.

[@raymondrush2554]

Crystal for the FTL drive I thought 🤔

[@ThePineTreesBand]

I don't get the people saying there's no plot and it leads nowhere and there's no context and blah blah I thought it was pretty engaging and if you have even the slightest bit of imagination it's extremely thought-provoking and enjoyable mysterious. It's a short film people. Don't expect the plot to be as vast as a full length feature film. Enjoy it for what it is.

[@penylayne]

AMAZING! I was so caught up, I didn't realize how much time had gone by. Excellent fx, acting. Scenery was ok. Need a part 2, or full movie!!!!

[@fporretto]

This has a "teaser" quality to it. The acting, scripting, and cinematography are all more than competent, but there isn't enough connective tissue for it to constitute a story. Throughout I waited for some sort of indication -- or evocation -- of what David's family was fleeing, and why. As for the crystals, there was no indication of their importance beyond that the "Ministry" didn't want anyone to have one. Perhaps Darkwave will extend it with additional clips, which I'd very much like to see.

[@TheLogistics78]

At 21:42 budget ran out... still good!

[@erikavery8521]

I liked this little, subtle bit: He says to her daughter "You have changed so much." She says to her father "And you haven't changed at all." And he mentions drifting at 30,000 miles/second. That's about 16% of light speed. Even though it would be small, time dilation would have had an effect. I'm not sure if it was intentional by the writers as that dialog exchange could be taken in a more literal way but it offered a linguistic overlay for the nerds that noticed.

[@jbodden6977]

gee, the first twenty minutes of a movie I would have liked to have seen...

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Aaaah yes! The abandoned dish antennae at RAF Stenigot in Lincolnshire England. And what a surprise - it isn't in the usa!

[@sgtsitdown5499]

Wow....that was incredible. I have to say a massive well done to the people behind this short film, i would pay good money to see this turned into a full length feature film :D Also those actors are really good for a small studio. Another thing is the music for this short, god DAAAAAAMN does it set the scene and tone perfectly. MASSIVE props to everyone involved

[@bashirwada]

I loved everything except the kid, his acting seemed off, or he's meant to be like that, and he looks quite odd... of course, this is just my opinion.

[@sgtsitdown5499]

Yeah, child actors are always kinda....off, i can't explain it XD

[@bashirwada]

I guess it's since they have very little experience and practice? You'd have to have some crazy natural talent if you can perform really well at such a young age.

[@werdarastrix]

All actors are, in essence, good liars (or storytellers if you don't lie that term),, and children that young usually haven't had enough experience in life to have developed the skills an adult or even a teen has.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

Lying isn't the skill that's needed to act, it's the abilities to imagine, pretend and play. Kids have those skills. I've seem many kids take on difficult roles, years ahead of them and do them well.

[@vnblogs1085]

Background music awesome

[@rpgreseller]

The bird noise at the end was a little weird for a ship, but everything else was good.

[@jamesfra1311]

Maybe a reference to the thunderbird?

[@manofsan]

Well, it was called a Phoenix - even said so on the screen inside the bunker

[@AngryKittens]

The hover pose was good. But the talons, the bird screams, the eyes... just bad design. Biomimetics is an awesome field, but it doesn't mean you literally make your vehicles transform into actual animals. -_- This isn't Transformers or Power Rangers. Function still takes precedence over form.

[@manofsan]

Angreh Kittunz In space those claws could be useful to stay attached to your mothership. Wheels wouldn't be useful for zero-G, nor are they needed for VTOL.

[@gearandalthefirst7027]

manofsan, claws would be terrible as a docking mechanism, use magnets. Also, the vtol mode still had bloody jets squirting out the back for some reason instead of pointing down

[@donkenmuir9504]

please make a movie of this short film plz, i love it.

[@jdmo21]

Very engaging, and I am person who generally can't sit through a movie. Nice job!

[@C_Beaty]

This film is completely lacking in context and I felt totally lost the whole time - would it have hurt to add even 30 seconds of exposition or explanation about the crystals, organics, the Ministry, etc.?

[@markc7440]

That was fun! And wonderful to see Shane Rimmer.

[@blairmacewancrosbie8646]

Just stumbled across this excellent short. Yes, it would make a great movie if expanded upon. Well done cgi bros for posting this top quality short.

Please make a Part2, And anybody that watches CGI short fimls that has negative complaints.........well..take your ass to hollywood. THIS WAS GREAT!! Waiting for the next!!!!

[@alabamajrb5534]

So, that's the mom, and that's her child...then who was the dad...it sure wasn't that white dude.

[@melissajones6062]

I did not get the impression that the kid was biologically either one of theirs 😒 going off the story it seemed more like the kid was stolen or rescued from a lab. I guess it is possible the two adults were biological parents but I don't think so

[@davidfoster2563]

@@melissajones6062 No, it's not biologically possible.

[@mamaci910]

David Foster actually it is possible. You have no idea what the family genetics are from the past.

[@karenlloyd1705]

I've seen a story about a baby that was born to a white couple who was black. There was a black ancestor that none of the family knew about. Was really interesting

[@antionettewardell2151]

I agree. His gene pool must be recessive going back generations.

[@markusbenedict7651]

The raptor screeches coming from the jet shattered my immersion. This was a fantastic short up until then, as it was ringing a similar bell to Firefly - down to the Reaver-esque zombie (if that is what that man was). Not bad, all things considered.

[@DaveLennonCopeland]

Wow, so good to see Shane Rimmer. My first memory of him is as Scott Tracy (voice) from Thunderbirds the 60's TV Series.

[@null5994]

My viewpoint: Crystal is used to power up FTL engine, and the gene of that child is required to power up the crystal. Ministry capture those people and use them as tools to maintain the interstellar empire. Someone (driving bird ship) are finding that child for another purpose.

[@bypuk]

null spot on! Wow! Have you been reading my notes? I should give you a job! 😊

[@bypuk]

Yes you are! :-)

[@dankuchar6821]

Adults can't do FTL, not organic enough, (Quantum Physics issue?) But, Organic kid can! What was the Dark Wave? Natural, man made, alien, or AI? Perhaps too much Tech messed up things. Now regular, organic kids are needed to break the grip of the 'Whatever' that is running things. So parents, kids, families can change everything, but 'In Change' thing doesn't want to lose power. So... Parents run to save their little family! Phoenix is re-birth from the ashes of destruction. Symbols of hope! This could truly be a world changing TV series! I'm a former Physics teacher, I would love to work on this!!! Am I close in my assessment?

[@malbers35]

I think you read way too much into it Dan.

[@boltodj]

That was excellent. I wish this could be made into a TV series to help flesh out the background more and to see what happens next.

Why a fighter jet would quack like an eagle or hawk? What tactical advantage this provides?

[@DarkwavePictures]

Good spot! The Phoenix is not just a starfighter... more to come...

[@pauloneill2538]

KeyserSoseRulz it's to scare off birds that otherwise might get sucked into the jet stream and cause a nasty blockage.

[@MagosMirka]

Most likely propaganda reason? They seem to be some sort of rebels against the ministry (from what I've got) so the Phoenix could be something iconic and the call something to announce the rescue (from their point of view) is here.

[@DarkwavePictures]

[@saroyafanniel8932]

What's with all the picayune judgment. It's a short film. A very well crafted and produced one at that. They most likely noticed most if not all of the shortcomings and/or things mistakes. Costs money to fix things post production you know. I'm sure they will take more into consideration if they get the opportunity to expand it. Why not just enjoy it for what it is?

[@dwaynecarter9219]
