Yes, @@Davidautofull . I also believe that the surviving astronaut is suffering visual, tactile and auditory hallucinations. There were likely no genuine communications - possibly excepting that last one, after the lights went out.

@@Randytherumbler SERIOUSLY? anyway its a free country. Who died and made you the NAZI word police?? Your time on this earth is ending.. Why dont you just go out with class instead of making the memory of boomers like you toxic .
I thought so at first, but then i realized it must be to have enough breathable air in case of a problem. All the walls needed to build that room wouldn't have taken that much space on the vehicle bringing them.
She's not in a spacecraft. It's a installation on the surface of a moon. A spacecraft _travels_ places. A space-station on a moon is well... stationary.
@@grosnain LOL Not all thin people are unhealthy. There are people who can eat and eat, and not gain a pound. I have a brother like that; in order to gain weight he had to start drinking a bottle of Stout (a type of ale) every day by the time he was 15. After 7 or 8 months of that he had gained 11 pounds; woo hoo. LOL
two months lol. I've been isolated and alone for over 16 years with debilitating anxiety that keeps me home, mostly in my room. two months would be a cake walk
This clip brought back a memory. I was chatting with the recently retired “Head of Psychology” from a state university (decades ago) and his comment about Psychology. “Psychology is to science that golf is to sport.”
When I was an automated sprinkler system troubleshooter for residential, and commercial properties. I found that most of the members on private golf courses were rich people, with no class or taste.
Many say she lost her mind but when Control (faux) said, "You're right. You should've have come here", I opted for the more malevolent story arc that yeah, something IS out there. Good stuff overall.
@@anwarvanommeren8407 I'm 100% sure it's not the dead guy. The really cold body is still Where she left it. It's something else entirely, pretending to be either Control, either her dead budy, next probably a wet kitten forgotten in the cold. But it is neither.
The entire time she was there she had the same perfect hair and clothing, that looked like it hadn't even been worn more than the few hours it took to film this. I would have made her looked more disheveled, and the room looked more lived in as the time passed. Everything is spotless. Not even used food containers. Show the passing of time with how much the place gets used. Look at the interior of the ISS for an idea on how to do this.
C. Thomas Howell as Control was awesome. Big fan of his. Also, there isn't/won't be any moon base that doesn't have an airlock. But other than that, it was pretty riveting presentation.
All I kept thinking is "somebody needs a Snickers Bar and a hug". And that "Control" needs to update their psych weeding-out protocols. And maybe make the station a little less spartan, to distract the mind. Boy every time I watch something from Dust, the future seems so damn depressing........
Psych evaluations on earth would be pretty useless as indicators for a situation like the scenario presented in the film. Isolation in space is different
This is why an ai system assistant companion is important to develope for one. And a robot or two to interact with would be helpful. Yeah, Dust does seem to show mostly dark, bleak futures. I figure it's to give us forethought to develope ways to start planning how to fix it now before it comes to such distopianism.
Ground control, major tom has left the building here. Im all alone...i know you only have so much budget to work with, but it being a moon base you would expect a lot more scientific, or realistic data equipment than 2 flat screens and a keyboard on desks ordered from ikea. Does ikea deliver to the moon yet? Eventually they will when ikea merges with elon and space X. But for the set budget, this is not that bad of a short scifi...
Anyone remember the name of the DUST short about a guy sitting at his computer who is chatting with customer service for a product he received. He goes on to lie about the product so that he gets a full refund???
Guy gets stranded on Mars, decides to science this out and survives months with needing to start pretty much from scratch. Girl stranded in a station fully stocked for 2, can't make it to the first commercial break. But, girl bosses FTW!!!

There is a big problem with sci-fi these days. Most of it is negative and horrifying, what kind of message are you inspiring? Is there any sort of inspiring message about the bold future of humanity or is it all gonna be horror and tragedy?
She did show camera screens, she saw on them where his body was where she put it. Apparently there where either none to show the door from the other side or it showed nothing on the camera footage at the door.
At one point, the voice tells her "open the airlock". Is there an airlock or isn't there? If not, (a) how did she get Mark outside without losing too much air; and (b) what idiot built this station?
I believe it is an airlock. Her remark that she dies if she opens the internal airlock door is based on the fact the thing that beats on the inner door has somehow gotten past the outer door that he probably did not cycle trough as it should have. Therefore the outer door is probably compromised in shreds. It's reasoning, not just previous knowledge.
The large station room may give the illusion the door/airlock is straight to the outside but of course that would be a failed assumption. Maybe the tiny home movement is to get more of the next generation ready for more compact space living.
The problem I have most with most Sci Fi shows including Twilight Zone, is the space travelers are shown as normal, everyday people. In reality, male and female astronauts are physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychological superior to normal people. John Glen and Chuck Yeager were incredible human beings, who would have survived the experience in the outpost. Of course, then you would have a tedious movie that few would watch.. Also, as I watch the relentless advancement of AI, why not just have robots do future traveling? And then as advancements continued, why wouldn't Star Trek just have androids like Data running the Enterprise?

Doesn't make sense. An astronaut dying of sickness in space? What did he dies of? A Hernia? The base doesn't have an airlock?!?!?!? C Thomas Howell is the controller!
He could die from a number of things; an aneurism for just one. However, it is silly that there’s no airlock let alone no way to see or monitor what’s outside said non-existent airlock.
Well done. But for me the "Two months and eleven days" by oneself is laughable. Opportunity arose so I moved out by myself to a very remote 1883 farm in Powder River County, Montana. Nearest rancher may drop by if there's a cattle issue but unless I go into town, that's it for human interaction for almost 2 years now. I've got a pack rat as a good friend and lots of pheasant, Angus and wild turkey buddies. I iz fyne ... just sing louder, cut off any dance numbers if any wranglers ride by and avoid calling the ranger district for those random Bigfoot sightings. wassa problem-o? (Beyond not having an atmosphere outside? ... I suppose that could contribute).
Your situation is a far cry from hers. At least you don't have to wait two months before seeing another living thing, you could chose to goto town, she can't.
@@troywhite6039 I guess I was too subtle in admitting that at least I have a livable ATMOSPHERE! And holy hell, the world is loud and I'm neck deep just by being on UA-cam. She wouldn't even have those interactions. First TMI coffee of day so s'cuse. This was a triggering element. Deal here is technically just renting a dang place to live but just happens to be an old farm that was killing the owners to drive 3 hours just to get here to mow the lawns. The isolation factor was a big one in both allowing me to try and/or if I wouldn't crack like some in the past. But in reality, shrug. I've always lived alone anyway. Oh, I miss my friends, esp my lady friend/daughter that I saw almost daily. But this winter was a merciful clear one (unlike the cabin fever hammering of the last) so I've been able to go out and work, hike or JUST GET OUT almost daily ... without Arctic gear. My God, did that help my moods; all the diff in the world vs being trapped within the same walls. Final woe to the people I do see, maybe every 5 days at most, in town where I have to remind myself "How's it going?" is merely polite and not a request for a manifesto report.

"Control" has a taut, compelling plot but it's wasted on clumsy writing, a pretty big plot hole and a perfectly fine, but uninspired performance by lead. The dialogue at several points sounds contrived and stilted -- perhaps even unfinished in spots. As if the writer had more breadth to add but ran out of time. The same goes for the arc of the main character. She does not feel genuine. It's not the actress coming up short here but the writing. That character would not be an astronaut because her psych profile alone would have scuttled any hopes of her going into space before. Astronauts do not get unhinged and weepy, even in the most extreme and risky environments. I'm not saying it could never happen -- especially if some alien goo jumped out at me -- but it wouldn't look like this. The Space Odyssey comparisons are obvious, but not rammed down our throats -- the director pays homage without announcing it and the film is better for it. And honestly, despite it borrowing from a few classics, the story comes across as fresh and original. It could be something truly great with a bit of work. 2.8/5

Excellent short film. Gratitude for sharing. Actor was brilliant!
No airlock between that door and the outside? Then how did she take the body outside? Depressurizing the entire inside doesn't sound logical.
Well, she was in a spacesuit...
Rolling office desk chairs in a space vehicle / station is never going to be a thing, even if Staples still exists that far into the future.
Why not. They work well on Earth, no reason to just get rid of them because it's the future.

This really is the epitome of a low-budget production.
The most unrealistic aspect of this video is the inside of the spacecraft having so much empty floor and wall space.
I thought so at first, but then i realized it must be to have enough breathable air in case of a problem.
All the walls needed to build that room wouldn't have taken that much space on the vehicle bringing them.

@DrachenMeister666 An installation on the surface of a Jovian moon that is a spacecraft that traveled to land there through space, yes.
the dead character is also unrealistic. how much skinny he was, that is IMPOSSIBLE for such unhealthy person to be send on space mission.

That was an excellent lesson in how to write a tight script, and show that less is more! excellent work!
A tight script??? I did a 15 second skip through most of the video. I watched maybe 5 minutes and didn’t miss a thing.
Control: "That's it! No more girls in space."
😂
I always thought the original vid was underrated, glad it’s a throwback.

Who builds a station designed in vacuum that doesn't have an airlock? Otherwise nicely done psychodrama in an SF setting.

Wtf? Someone can't spend 2 n a half months alone? Like... wtf is wrong with her?
I would not to like 2 months alone on earth somewhere, but to be 600 million miles away alone, is another thing to twist your brain up!
Sounds peaceful. I'd love it. Sign me up.

That door makes no sense whatsoever
what about the size of that room?

😮😮😮❤❤
great job man s2
They send just two people to a Jovian moon? This also feels like a similar story from Night Gallery or Twilight Zone.
Seems to me that they would have external cameras. Just putting that out there 😁
She did show camera screens, she saw on them where his body was where she put it. Apparently there where either none to show the door from the other side or it showed nothing on the camera footage at the door.
...sorry - I don't get the end... is it Mark? Did she get crazy? And yes: the missing airlock doesn't make sense...
Why do I feel like I've seen or read this story before? Exactly the same...
outer limits? twlight zone? one step beyond?
yep, does seem familur
