For saying that this started off as a short movie on YouTube, where filming was shut down by the LAPD way back in 2015, they still managed to make enough to get that short out in 2016. And after the short's amazing success, they finally got around to filming and releasing this. Incredible for such a small budget, and small group, they absolutely nailed this! They absolutely deserve a much higher box office for saying how much love was put into this! I really hope to see a sequel if they can! Ignore any negative reviews, and rent it or buy it! It's worth every penny!

Brilliant. Characters you can root for, those you're really hoping will get their dues, and some you just can't decide about. Is it groundbreaking? Nah, not really. But it is a fresh take on a genre that feels a bit worn, and you can really sense the passion of the creators. Greg Bryk was a standout, and I wish there'd been more Peter Outerbridge (the two having previously worked together on the criminally underrated Regenesis) Watch it, enjoy it, and keep an eye out for the spin-off show!

Awesome grounded sci-fi with some excellent performances. Just goes to show you don't need a massive Hollywood budget to make good movies, Just talent and a heap of passion. Really hope they build on what they've created here!
