Sci-Fi Short Film "Back to the Gaia" | DUST

Glad to see the Ghosts from "Destiny 2" are still helping humanity! Wonder if she becomes a Guardian...🤔 😅😅👍

Destiny ghost :)

[@natet3345]

I love the fact that the music when she first starts descending is hopeful rather than foreboding. It's a beautiful sentiment to the idea of possibilities rather than fear. Sound can change everything.

[@reghasell]

Can't go wrong with Hans Zimmer, it's from Interstellar.

Thats what i was thinking!

Definitely want to see more of this storyline! Want to know what happened to Earth after the magnetic field is restored. And this character. Very compelling, some great CGI too. Great job,Team!

EXCELLENT!! The actress is fantastic, as well as, storyline and special effects! I loved it! Well done!

[@hellothere4507]

A first one to comment on a fresh DUST release. And a good one! Am honored.

[@AcapulKero]

Excellent short. I would like to see more of this story, maybe a whole movie? Great actress!

[@ICU1337]

I'll forgo the nitpicking on this but there is something thats hard to just ignore and look past... If she destroyed her craft beyond repair, then how is it that she flies away happily into the sunset at the end... 🤨

[@sleeplessstu]

There are just a few slight holes in the plot 😂… was there a plot ?

[@ICU1337]

@@sleeplessstu I'm assuming that if there was a plot, it translates better in Chinese than it does in English 🤷🏽‍♂️ And it's ashame because I usually like Chinese "Hollywood" stuff 😔

[@AMPATL]

It's so interesting to watch these short films, you quickly realize that cool CGI works only when it supports a good story.

[@ScottStratton]

I believe the last scene is supposed to depict a future where the mysterious new element has allowed humans to build floating cities on the Earth.

[@ICU1337]

@@ScottStratton I like this theory. Makes more sense that this scene doesnt take place directly after the events but a year or 5 years later 👏🏽

[@danielcostello4041]

I see the team are Destiny 2 Fans. One of my first thought is that she has a Ghost. At the end, it looks like a scene out of Rifts. Nicely done. One question, why is the ship's computer speaking in English when no one else is?

[@Cuz-Y-Not1942]

Ha I saw the ghost and had to make sure I clicked on the correct video. Surprised Bungie hasn't requested the video be taken down because of the ghost lol

[@MichellesGenXLife]

Such a beautiful and well done short

[@thegeohistorian]

Not sure if that was a nod to No Mans Sky, but it sure looked like the Atlas! NIcely done!

[@regolith2780]

Yes ! And the robot like the thingy in Destiny

[@tardismole]

Beautiful. I love it. The images and music complimented each other perfectly.

[@leeakers4525]

Good film. Action without being overwhelming with booms fire and smoke. Good tension, and a hopeful resolve. In my mind, everything a good science fiction movie should be,

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

Nothing old or stale about anything with DUST in it.

[@vincentanguoni8938]

So much of this stuff out there!!! Incredible!! This is great quality...and a protagonist with presence....do they make money???? My question.....

[@mlh4711]

great short and great choice of lead...............she is very easy on the eye and a good actress. Hats off to Xinmo Ma.

[@OniMetsuki]

So close to being excellent. Clearly a lot of work and passion went into this. Just let down by a few bits jarring the overall experience letting this short film down. I hope you do more shorts though and learn from this experience :)

[@Silas-lc9op]

If the cities are floating and the waterfalls drop off of them(which looked awesome), where does the water come from to allow it to do that?

[@WellWisdom.]

It looks awesome. It is sad that plot armor and inconsistent world rules, subtracts a lot from the experience.

[@malachiXX]

I have to agree. Either you needed to know the backstory intimately or there is a lot lost in translation. Not to mention her survival when the roof caved in while she was falling.

[@fjdarling]

Cute. Special effects were good.

[@jonah_.l]

whoa this is one of my favourites also the mandarin is absolutely flawless, im impressed

[@rakibhasan8016]

Watched The Expanse recently, loving sci Fi more and more. A nice addition.

[@GamerBath]

Im looking for some good sci-fi series and i searched for "The Exapanse" on amazon prime and i got 6 different series under the same name.......... Could you help me pick out which series it is, just the season count would be helpful.

[@alxjamor3094]

@@GamerBath yeah because The Expanse is composed in total of 6 seasons

[@Sea-Keith]

2015-2022, A little tricky there,because it was picked up by Amazon Prime after not being aired for A while,so what you are searching may be the same series..

[@joebloggs6922]

The Expanse is probably one of the best sci fi series of all time, and most definitely the most realistic depiction of futuristic space travel. The amount of details they put in to make it as realistic as possible is insane. They had a team of physicist working on the series all the way through.

[@alikigeorgiou8499]

Beautifully filmed story and amazing graphics - would love to see a sequel! 🤩

[@vnblogs1085]

Amazing Dust always brilliant sci fi short its fabulous 👌👌👌

[@freddybonilla2472]

It's an out of this world sci-fi

[@dan_mulligan]

Very well done technically, in a production sense, but the story line was weak and confusing. Sg106 with a half-life of 21 seconds; that would be Seaborgium 266, only produced artificially (not even detected astronomically), which decays almost immediately to other radioactive elements, and within a few minutes to Thorium & Radium (long before you could find it). What does this have to do with magnetic fields, or anti-gravity. Ah! Floating islands! ... with water that flows from somewhere and off the edge, forever. And this will make everything better! Now it all makes sense. Sorry ... I realize this is fiction, but I was just hoping for more. Nonetheless, the floating islands are cool.

[@dannysolid]

Outstanding movie! Well done!

[@ericchild8845]

Awesome work. Need more of these please.

[@SuperDiddzz]

WOW!! Wonderful, thank you.

[@rbshoemaker]

Wild story idea! The theory and scientific idea is unique and creative! Would love to see a full length feature exploring more of the causes and effects of such a potential threat to our earth! The potential story line could create a world where we must deal with the catastrophic consequences of such a threat! Please continue!

[@kayskreed]

I liked the concept similar to 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' and the visuals were nice, but my word, the character's actions made no sense and there was quite a few logical plot holes as well. For instance, if the air is unbreathable on the surface, then why no helmet to go along with the spacesuit? Things like that. Also, I have no idea what happened at the end. Her ship was damaged beyond repair, she would have been dying of heat / suffocation, but then she puts the thingy into the thingy and magically reemerges on the surface unscathed? The planet is 'fixed' just like that? Was that supposed to be a piece of xenotech or what? How did it end up there in the first place? I dunno, kinda meh if you ask me. Good idea on paper, though.

[@jamesmorgan3032]

Solid production reinforced with hope and resolution.

[@pauls5745]

amazing story about an adventurous spirit!

[@erreemebeerreemebe8178]

The history reminds me the "Journey to the center of the earth" by Jules Verne.

[@IngoSchwarze]

Indeed, especially going down so deeply, finding giant mushrooms in the depths, being swept further down by water, and coming up to the surface again in what resembles a volcanic eruption. The stakes are higher in this film, though - Verne's characters weren't trying to save the earth, but merely to explore.

[@sleeplessstu]

Hmmm… nice graphics but I think there needs to be a little more storyline here. Does she somehow “restore” the magnetic field of the earth by blowing up an underground cavern full of an unknown geologic specimen discovered by her father ? How did she fix her broken ship to escape the cave ? I guess maybe you don’t even NEED a story when you’ve got a competent hottie in a cool spaceship 😂

[@stevenloyer2128]

[@TheReverb1]

so would happens with this anyway? Is not clearly too

[@BoGy1980]

not bad, sadly you end with a paradox ... where does the water come from on those floating islands? you can't create water from nothing.... the rest is "feasable"

[@sealkh]

I've always been curious in movies, how they hold a flashlight in front of their eyes in a dark cave and still able to see what's in front of them

Very well written and Chinese dialouge very well done. Make more movies like this. This actress is very talented. She really gave movie substance

[@atorres603]

I am glad they decided to go back to the original design for the Destiny Ghost. I am sure she will make a good Guardian after she passes. 🙂

[@PunditKING]

Spoilers CGI A+, story C, story break down ; wants magufin, wants to do something reckless to get magufin, told don't do that, oh it still worked after doing it but causes another problem, repeat and doesn't get hurt from anything. Gets magufin.

Disagree with the comments saying the plot is lazy or confusing, I think they were not reading between the lines. This is one of the better written ones I've seen

If you have even a little ability to make inferences it makes sense. I really liked this

[@TheAutisticEducator]

If Bungie finds out about this... 1. Ship is exact copy of a Cabal Thresher 2. Literal Destiny Ghost 3. Weird Polygon that manipulates gravity and is probably evil

[@Friedrich-Fluecken]

[@djr1943]

I’ll have to say, the graphics were amazing! Totally realistic. On the other hand the story seemed a combination of sci-fi and fantasy not to diminish the entertainment value. All in all…well done!

[@bjb7587]

Poisonous atmosphere! She dons a suit with no helmet. I'm good!

Are there any ferrous heavy metals? Gold, Silver, lead, and copper are all non-ferrous or semi-ferrous (idk if titanium is considered a heavy metal). I've never held a magnet to Tungsten, but since you can't tell the difference between gold and gold coated Tungsten without x-ray or core test- I'd assume it's also non-ferrous. And mercury needs a current to interact with magnets so it's safe to say that's non-ferrous as well. I'm curious because they're talking about non-ferrous heavy metals like its a rarity. The 25 second half life in nature is certainly rare.- but it's ferrous properties- not so much.

[@TheWorldBelow360]

Super conscious metallic crystals have always seemed like the obvious source that would allow for continuing permutations. Until such Times as when being conscientious inhibited their inherent abilities.

[@darinbauer8122]

This is too simple for me. Although I believe that the woman is from that century, that cannot be Earth at that specific time. It would either have to be far in the past or far in the future. Athough, while in a similar light to problems with chrono-logistics that I have with Altered Carbon, I have to say, Seatle looked FANTASTIC! Really. Make sure that Tom Robbin's knows.

[@russward2612]

[@Albtraum_TDDC]

Too much word-salad nonsense. This is more like disjointed fantasy than science fiction. Reminded me of crap like "journey to the center of the earth", in a bad way. Also it's better to get a translator who is fluent in English and passable in Chinese, than a translator who is fluent in Chinese and passable in English. A lot of the sentences were obviously wrong translation or bad flow.

I really don't get it. I am a big sci-fi fan but this only had good graphics. The story made no sense. Its like Chinese Demon movies meets Sci-fi ending. I love Chinese movies with the demons and fairies and un realistic Karate moves. I like Fantasy too but this is what I got out of, a mix of genres that really don't do good together for me.

[@lostcat9lives322]

Same here. We can be generous and suggest that perhaps something was lost in the cultural translation, but no, it was just scrambled pointlessness. They had the resources but no sensible story. Did they just throw everything at the wall, that they could think of, in the hope that something would stick?
