[@CMDR_Verm]

I'm afraid I found this short movie unpleasant and pointless. A waste of special effects and humdrum acting. If this is what's winning awards the bar must be set fairly low. I am a reader and watcher of SF and I wanted to like it, I was looking forward to something thought provoking. A shame.

[@chrismonroe2589]

I was super lost too. The aliens have the ability to create a universe but they need the lifeblood of a simulated person to continue living? The meteor killed me. 10 ton meteor landed in a lake with a splash when it should have taken out everything within at least a mile radius since it should have been traveling at insane speeds. These guys have obviously never heard of kinetic weapons. The body snatcher fellas are simulated individuals themselves that steal people from the pasts' lifeblood and give it a higher being that isn't simulated yet the body snatcher folks "believe" there is a bigger universe bla bla bla. Takes place in Germany, nobody speaks German or even hints at a German accent. Made ZERO sense. So many contradictions and plot holes. Still a very well shot film. Great acting, great visuals, great lighting, great effects. All good stuff. The screenwriting is lacking though. The story has potential but very badly needs to be peer reviewed to get those beyond obvious plot holes out.

[@TheTexasViking]

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and put this out there because this short film semi describes what I have thought for decades. Now I've always had the inclination that something is different about this world. I believe that the Creator, whatever it is, creates universes almost in the same way that they did on the short. But it's more of a scientific/learning endeavor. Then these beings and there's more than one of them there's probably an entire race of them. And in order to reproduce they have to build a simulated multiverse. By doing so they take little pieces of themselves and implant it into every significant living structure. We call this the soul. But in reality what it is is nothing more than a USB device that's being plugged into our life. It records every single byte of information that is our life. And not only does it record it in this dimension but for every choice we make a new multiverse is made. And our souls energy is reproduced and transferred into the new us. At the end of each version's life, the soul will go to rejoin with other parts of the soul that are across the multiverse. Until the very last subject dies. At that point all the duplicated souls have merged together and then go back to the creator. Thus allowing the Creator to study and analyze everything that the "soul" has learned. Then the "soul" is basically wiped. but just like any technology, when you erase the information, there's still a little bits of information left. And when it gets put into the new subject for learning we end up with what we call deja Vu or past life regression. Those are the little bits of information that didn't erase. Eventually after I don't know how many lifetimes, because I'm not one of them. But let's just say hundreds of experiences in different life forms eventually the soul will be prepared to become a new creator. Or a god, however you want to call it. I believe the "soul" is just another God in training. And it has to learn everything about life and consciousness in order to become one. And in order to learn this the God in training has to experience every type of life form that the cosmos has to offer. I know it's a little bit out there, but it's just something I've thought about since I was probably about 7 or 8 years old. I'm now 46.

Great movie!!!! I really appreciate the creativity 😊😊

[@JulioViera-em1rp]

Super Sci-fIction, I love it. Nothing better that the human creativity, it had me on the border of my sit...Really nice ending. Very talented guys here, and thanks for sharing, was excellent.

Try to sell this to Netflix and make it a mini series 😉 this was so we'll thought out and keeps you in suspense. Great concept and cliff hanger let's see what happens next is a must

[@xthukuh]

Such a masterpiece. I however would feed a subject lies until the process is complete. This doctor is too honest while the subject is clearly not willing.

'Welcome to the future Thomas, wait till you see our shopping malls, your gunna love it. Now it will just take 5 hours to get your brain calibrated to your new body so hang tight whilst we get you fixed up.' - either that or handcuff him to the bed haha.

I feel stupid, but I'm confused. The guy that put on the helmet got his consciousness transferred into the guy laying on the table in front of the thing that looked like an MRI machine? Then who were the beings in the very beginning that looked like they were wearing masks and the one who woke up in the end? Help. This looked like it'd be really good if I could only understand it..

[@trevorbender2307]

Definitely amazing!! Thank you!!

A technological version of possession. Your energy with their memory and volition. The difference being also their body.

Typical short where the punch line only lasts one or two frames.

I watched this quite a while ago and ran into it again today. It’s a fantastic story. I’m hoping that you will continue it as you have something that could go a long way. Thank you.

Incrível! Parabéns pelo magnífico trabalho!

Comments are interesting. Most who are sh*tting on this gem cannot make a 5 second stick animation on MS.Paint. Great job Hashem Al-Ghaili . Greets from Kenya.

A distant alien civiilzation would have predicted something as simple as someone's emotional outburst and would also have more than enough measures ready if that happened.

[@jjnelsonnc]

oh yeah, and its like this is the first time that a time transfer process has happened, and, WHY WOULD THE SCIENTIST AS SOON AS THE GUY WAKES UP TELL HIM ...OH YEAh basically in just a few we are going to wipe you, kill you, your soul is going to vanish....who wouldn't fight back....the premise, plot is SO weak here, why not tell him that if he stays still, nothing will happen …...yeah, need rewrite on pilot....this one is doomed to fail

[@meat-hook]

Yeah, if this planet is like The Sims for them. We just don't see the gem thing over our heads, or the status bars.

[@dougbrown6952]

The premise is cool though. Fresh.

[@almcdonald8676]

Now this is a great tale. Profundity, internally consistent weird cyberpunk tech and a complete narrative arc with an optimistic ending. Not to mention the superbly executed technicalities. Too many of the DUST films for me possess unsatisfyingly vague endings. They could learn a lot from Mr Al-Ghaili

[@nitinkpatil9508]

I was so eagerly waiting this movie. My all expectations are full filled by you. I never missed your videos. I'm from India and I also want to be like you sir. I have seen may sci-fi movies but not a single movie given me satisfaction. Today you complete this. Thank you so much sir for the knowledge and movie.

[@highervibe6745]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 man its been a minute since I've seen something good, loved it.

[@siegfriedkleinmartins7816]

WOOOOW.....GREAT SHORT MOVIE Let's see.... - multiple dimensions/paralel universes - our reality as a simulation - time travel - alien influence on human civilization, - immortality of the mind- soul So many different concepts in a 24 minutes movie.....is shocking !!!! Along with wonderful C G I This one should be awarded with an Oscar.

[@Roy-zx9uc]

A brilliant short film, well done. It really seems as it's a real glimpse into the future., with all that's happening around the black budget programs. I hope you continue this, creating a mini series. It's got to be a huge hit. Congrats on the awards, well deserved, love the work, it's far superior to anything that would come out of Hollywood. 👌

[@beinfomaniac7182]

This is awesome!!!!!! Please upload a sequel. Even I think about this that what if we were controlled by somebody else from future. Thank U for making such an fascinating and intriguing film

i was just starting to be blown away by brother Thomas heh heh heh.....cant these movies last at least an hour🤫...nice sci-fi movie man!

Tremendous, just tremendous. And quite very possibly the truth of probability.

[@ufosrus]

Interesting concept. And it also makes sense to travel to Earth disguised as an asteroid to avoid detection.

[@NasirUddin-pt4vw]

Can you add subtitles?

[@mauliksadhu8963]

This is an amazing film, Thank you @Hashem Al-Ghaili and congratulations to all the team members. You really make it awesome. #simulation
