Container | Sci-Fi Thriller Short Film

[@djr1943]

This is probably one of the best films on time travel that I’ve ever seen. The set, the acting, the story everything is just perfect! Well done! Looking forward to seeing more from this group!

[@filmplatter]

Thanks so much. That's a huge compliment. And yes, more is coming. We can't wait to share.

[@Minnow5000]

Watching from 2042. I remember when they used to show this film in time travel school.

[@carterbrown7961]

Dang got on a DUST binge after discovering them this evening and this popped in my recommended. This was a fantastic short! Really well done script, acting, and set design!!

[@filmplatter]

DUST is the best. We are a huge fans of them. Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully next time we can collaborate with them

[@kentwhoo]

Likewise 🤙

[@joenoneoyobinnes4727]

Wow. This was goddamned dark, creepy as hell, and even though it's obvious where it's going by the middle it still had me on the edge of my seat. Well done and thanks.

[@A1FAHx]

It’s frustrating; time and time again, I have warned these people to stop meddling with time travel - no good ever comes from it. This story is so tragic on so many levels. All I can say is just because you have the power to do something, doesn’t mean you should. I know he wanted to save his unborn child, but now this . . .

[@allisonjames2923]

I wonder how many people across the world are tucked in their secret labs right now, trying to figure out how to time travel 🤔

[@filmplatter]

Good point. Maybe one day we can go back in time and find out

Excellent Sci Fi film. Would love to see a longer version of this. That was the fastest 24 minutes I ever spent. tomato meter: 9

[@filmplatter]

Wow thanks. So glad you found it and liked it. We actually have 2 sequels written. Hopefully we get to make them

[@KenMac-ui2vb]

That is the best short I've seen out of a lot I've watched. That was EXCELLENT.. I want more!

[@filmplatter]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback

[@not_sauceremover1203]

You guys need to submit this masterpiece to dust. This is really good!

[@filmplatter]

Actually we already have, back in October, and haven't received a response. Releasing through Dust would be a dream but it looks like that may not happen so we've self released instead. Fingers crossed though. Thanks for the compliment

[@BeautyOfGaia]

Dust? If they ever was good, I can't remember, watch them since many years. They are arrogant, they like to publish shorts of others without credits.

[@filmplatter]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you found it and liked it

[@florencepierce1864]

📽An amazing short film that does better, in a short time, what some longer films fail to do. Great blend of Sc Fi-Time Travel, Thriller & Drama. I agree with another commenter: You see it coming mid-way, but still keeps you on the edge of your seat. I was aching for this guy, wanting his cycle to end, but realising his plight was a done deal right from the beginning - or end - or middle. Twisty, sad & surprisingly heart-breaking. Can't wait for the next one!👍

[@filmplatter]

There are always exposed cables, you never need to go anywhere to cut the power from something. If cables were not exposed you could not install them or do maintenance on them.

[@dirkfrey4715]

@@filmplatter so am I. Just being honest. I've been watching science-fiction shorts for a while now and have seen a bunch on youtube. There's some pretty bad acting out there and some that consist of nothing more than fancy graphics - game cutscenes without much of a plot. Time travel is an oft-explored but rich subject. It's easy to fall into familiar tropes. This film side-steps that. Minimalist, just enough effects to make me happy... attention to details like the blood, the diagrams the character draws to figure things out... a lot to like. A responsive youtube channel is a nice touch too. Keep doing what you're doing, all of you. Good work.

[@filmplatter]

[@FromilyGALinOC]

Just found this movie and it was great but I’m a little confused. I know that the banging noises he heard were from himself but was he successful? Or is he doomed to repeat the cycle endlessly in loops?

[@filmplatter]

Well, there have been sequels written, but I really can't give anything away. Let's just say, he doesn't end up getting what he wants, but he gets what he needs.... but I highly doubt those films will ever see the light of day, so for let's just say he's doomed in an endless loop. Thanks for watching

A smart scientist never conducts an experiment on himself. He should have sent a camera through first.

[@gregbuster4187]

As with the classic plays from Ancient Greece, the hubris of the main character was his downfall. His personal ambition and nostalgic desire made it possible for him to look past a reasoned and responsible scientific approach. It’s a cautionary tale.

[@realitycheck3363]

But...but...he turned off the power!! You know, at the end...before he started, you know? So where did the power come from?

[@filmplatter]

The power switch is actually the very first switch he powers on before opening the room. The bottom switches have individual responsibilities, like door locking functionality etc. At the end he is attempting to shut them all down but the 1st one sparks out and sends a surge through the system. If he was able to reach the top switch then yes, he would've shut the power down, but sadly he doesn't

[@realitycheck3363]

@@filmplatter Oh I see. Yea they're not that clearly labelled, but that explains why the door was suddenly "stuck". Thanks.

When he makes it back to three minutes prior to leaving. He should have found himself already there . In his current condition. If the same time line and same space can be occupied by more than one versions of himself. Wouldnt there be another verSion every time he made it back? But theres no way to stop himself.

[@TheComedyGeek]

You should have known you couldn't go back in time and stop yourself because you didn't, and you know you didn't because if you had, you wouldn't be looking to go back in the first place. You can't go back in time to kill baby Hitler, because if you did, you would never have heard of Hitler in the first place and never known to go back and kill him. Ouroboros.
