Great movie. Thank you.

[@atlantianson515]

Good movie! I've seen it before, but didn't realize that there are several of them featuring Ethan McDowell. Good Actor.

[@chrisopperman]

It has the feel of a very professional high budget film. None of the actors seemed like amateurs. I will definitely look out for more productions from Dawnward Universe

[@ashemgold]

Such interesting story lines. My hat is off to the writers whose nights must be sleeplessly, exhaustingly burdened with creativity and whose days must be weighted with the birth of such dreams.

[@MrDalvrin]

Epic!! Loved it! Would pay tickets for a full feature film. I wish Hollywood made quality films like this. Great work!

[@benhansford4290]

There is SO MUCH WORK in this. Wonderfully done and incredibly acted. The ending hits hard!

Thank you so much! We hope you will subscribe to see more things coming out!

[@scpatl4now]

A subtle action I noticed is when the soldier placed the rock on the grave marker...in the Jewish religion it is a custom to leave a rock sitting on the tombstone when you visit to show that someone was there. That's a nice touch worthy of a good production.

I love it. I love it. I just wish the helmet design wasn't such a copy of the Mandolorians.

[@dawnwarduniverse8088]

You're not wrong! When we built the armor we did a poll for visor design and everyone voted for what we ended up using. Then everyone agreed it was a mistake. The helmet has since been changed.

So, were the good guys the ones dressed in the red armour? I found the last minute or two confusing. I think the 'little lamb' soldier probably survived because the red guys felt sorry for him, he had a peaceful heart. He wasn't a born soldier that was able to kill.

[@bradjohnson9671]

[@edition-deluxe]

I've left many comments in a row now, and I wish you please to not take disrespectful intents. I've have been making films, or more specifically, working on films for some years now, and what I have found in everyone around you does not give honest feedback, they play lipservice and boost egos--not healthy for filmmakers. Especially ones that cost the type of budget like this cost. What was this like 500k?! Finally, your film crew is top notch, costume crew same, casting and scene selection needs minor work, but still workable, writers and editors--trash them. don't spend that same amount of money again with those on board, and if you wrote, and edited, remove your ego, hire some capable people and just direct. Remove ego, you can't be great if you don't. Good start and it was entertaining to watch, if you remove these comments and never listen to them, fine, I am writing them as much for you as for me, and my future film analysis, and production. Good luck my friend.

Hi David. That’s one of our goals. We currently have a few books out as well. If we could make a feature film in the future, I think that would be one of the goals. Currently we’re releasing some of our shorts we’ve made over the years to show different areas of the universe. But we’ve been blown away by the response. We have a couple more shorts to show off and we’re hoping to make more in the near future!

[@sigmacademy]

@@dawnwarduniverse8088 Have you ever considered just making a bunch of shorts, film a separate wraparound (like in an anthology movie) and just distribute it as a full movie? Or even better, go for a smaller, shorter web series, mini-series or limited series (of only a couple of episodes), rather than a full series of multiple seasons?

Sorry I went so deep on this one. I think that's a good sign of a maker in the making.

Started off well enough, ended well, I'm just not sure if that's enough to redeem what played out between them. Awkward dialog, unusual and unexplained inconsistencies, and other small annoyances like using a fog machine on a breezy, sunny afternoon. Overall it's not terrible, the acting was good for the most part. If the story gets flushed out a bit more, the dialog is scripted/directed better, and with a bit more attention to set detail this could be a winner.

A Feminist SF Fantasy. In reality, a skinny little woman would be quickly crushed and defeated. They do not have the mass, speed and upper body physical strength. She was a cutie though. The first job of a story is to cause the audience to suspend disbelief. This one doesn't do it for me.

[@ronin47-ThorstenFrank]

You sadly failed to understand she was an enhanced transhuman like the saergent. You also don't have much knowledge of real life and the capabilities of real human females.
