I love the retro, Fritz Lang feel to the whole thing.

Thank you!! He’s our major reference!

Just INCREDIBLE! So many tributes to Old Cinema, & just so well done on every level! Looked very Big Budget! Great storyline. Love & Technology & Fascism. Timeless! Congratulations & Thank You to the whole team. Instant Classic!

[@terawattyear]

Exceptional short sci-fi! Fusion of steampunk, Nazi WWII, 1984, with a little Star Wars and a love story tossed in. Remarkable sets!

[@TattooedGranny]

Each visual image was thoughtfully used and composed. Sound effects like fingertips brushing across the beard stubble of a face were noticed. Story interesting. Acting good. Wonderful editing. Visually stunning. The light ellipses during the creation of the wife robot a nod to the 1927 Metropolis. This took a lot of work and it shows!

[@Moreiritas2]

I agree

[@kineluxstudios]

[@cpuuk]

SFX was awesome. Love the Metropolis nods. Great idea, but he loses his wife twice- unsatisfactory ending.

[@jeffstorm]

@@kineluxstudios My compliments to the grand Morality Tale with its postmodernist view of the world. There is much more than words can tell yet done so without a grand dialogue. It is a tribute to the art of film telling more than the spoken word. No matter the language, the imagery pulls from dystopian Metropolis of Fritz Lang and the dark world of George Orwell's 1984.

[@kineluxstudios]

@@jeffstorm Thank you!! Rule #1 should always be “show, don’t tell”. I’m glad you think we pulled it off! 😁

[@ronaldboyker2123]

This was magnificent! I've got to say, the way the actor playing the General delivered the line "Oh, and doctor, remember... even a desert flower...die" is about 7 seconds of perfection in acting. It was disturbingly creepy.

I like how at 11:12 you can see (what I think is) "top" displaying on the monitor, on the right side of the frame. :) In all seriousness, this was highly enjoyable to watch, and as some others have commented, yes, reminiscent of "Metropolis" / Fritz Lang work.

I don't allow myself 'Notifications' essentially of any kind. I separate out and away from and do not utilize: • Facebook • Twitter • Instagram • Tik Tok I understand tecnologika. I utilize a Private Browser & VPN. The robot and monster in the room is not the robot in and of this Film. *DUST* and a few other creative Channels and Educational Podcasts / *Christian Radio (*First Amendment Radio) is a separation attempt from the magnitude of The Surveillance State and Nefarious Teknologika boring down on us and the Natural Realm with its decepticon deceptions of Alternate Realities. A 'Gem' is a 'Gem' at any time or place. Superfluous initiatives (Govt/ NWO) never augment the 'Real' truth and beauty that is right before our eyes yet 'Powerful Indignities' spend their energies doing harm to nature and mankind proliferating lies [death] as truth. Altering reality in a shameful attempt to destroy the scenic and memorable [Life] with destruction and decay. We must try to have some Eric Weiss in us if we are to escape from their escape. + Durasaxon + ✝️
