All I can say is Eat Your Heart Out Hollywood! That was amazing!
This was probably made for the budget most Hollywood Movies spend on disposable coffee cups, good work.
YEAH ☕
Good job 🍻
Passion vs profit.
"I see big alien claw, now I'm going to run into this dark hole...."
😂
I know right... hmmm
@Zfast4you bb
With no weapon. WTF
Why can’t we just get into the running car ! BWAHAHAHA
'Rex.. get your ass over here'
'Im sorry Dave.... i cant do that..'
When 10 minutes feels like just 1 because you are completely absorbed by what you are watching... AWESOME job here guys - beyond brilliant.
I could see where this was going, however there is a lot more to be told! Good short, cheers from John. OZ.
Honest I'm scared to death of mars
Evidently, in order to make a sci-fi, the term "G.dam", "hell" (and usually "Jesus") must be repeated throughout. Really odd, that _all_ of these short films do that. Why is the vocabulary so limited?
Um... Well... Sort of. Good production value and build up of suspense, but this scenario has been done SO many times. Especially in the SciFi genre. I'd like to see something a little more original. The "hapless space explorer finds hostile alien creature that kills him" routine is seriously played out.
@@gloriajaclbs5 You should be. You'd be dead in less than 5 min if you stepped foot on its surface unprotected.
2094 and people are still climbing into unknown caves alone. Man is doomed.
And really, after he saw a clawed hand in the last few frames from D.O.R then STILL goes into the cave......Real smart ;-)
lol
He violated the first rule of campy science fiction videos! Never, never go in the dark hole!
Marcus Foxelhaus he was able to purchase a college degree to fly to Mars. But couldn’t any purchase common sense.
@@marcusfoxelhaus9870 the "gray" with the clawed hand?
2094 and you still can't get a decent flashlight.
Dan no
Lol!!
I was actually thinking...It's 2094 and we still haven't figured out how to prevent a mask from fogging?!
Lowest Bidder STILL gets the contract. LMAO
😅😅
😀😀🤗🤗
That was a pretty good short. Even though he broke the cardinal rule. NEVER GO INTO THE SCARY CAVE.
fun to watch
That too on the planet with no life 😂😂😂😂
Risking life for robots...Thats awesome:)
😅 that's beyond stupidity
Robots have life too great 😆😆
He must be VERY lonely!
Modern, High Tech Stupidity
That was his dog
That was so well done. You combined the environmental realism of The Martian with the chill factor of The Descent, yet with a much higher degree of subtlety int he latter. All it took for my anxiety level to go from 'maybe this isn't a good idea' to 'GET OUT GET OUT' were the words preservation mode. I would kill to see a feature length version of this.
Despite the negative reviews from the critics who were comparing this to... what, a Spielberg film? I thought you guys did a nice job with a limited budget and a lot of enthusiasm. This little 10-minute film probably took weeks, if not months, of script prep, several days of shooting and a huge amount of post-production/editing, and it looks like maybe a handful of people took on the burdens. Yeah, sure, some of the "gotcha" comments did catch a few errors and misses, but those should be meant and taken constructively. Keep at it and improve as you go. Kudos.
YES THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB SAD TO SAY BUT UA-cam HAS SOME OF THE MOST NEGATIVE UNGRATEFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE !!!!! COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERY DAMN THING!!
@@energyoflove444 I agree, it is so easy to sit back, do nothing and be negative.
Sci-Fi is not my thing , but I admire the will and quality of work.
It makes me think twice about joining Space Force n my NEXT life!!!
@@energyoflove444 Well, isn't that about par for the course when the lowest common denominator posts comments?!
Yeah I was totally happy with the quality it was great, and with content you have to be mindful that the short film format has difficulties. I found this one entertaining, but the only problem I have, which is true of many movies, even full budget full length, is that they don't make believable characters. There's no way this chump would go in to a dark unmapped cavern without even proper lighting when he's just found out his last robot was just destroyed by an ugly green bug eyed monster. He'd report in at the very least before going in.
One of the better short films Ive seen.And that was a damn good beer.Rock on!
when he saw the organic substance, it already a reason to head back and return to earth and come back with the heavy weapon.
Yes, he should have taken or carried out a Plasma Mini Cannon or a Lighting Mini Machine Gun to defeat that position... The first robot was crashed down for unknown and hostils forces... and his partners where did they go ??
BFG would be suitable
@@JCDanon Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
"head back and return to earth and come back with the heavy weapon." Weapon? This should be science fiction and not Safari fiction.
Correct should be: "head back and return to earth and come back with the heavy instruments"
@@marcosney4116 At least he should have headed back to base site and report to earth. And now nobody will even know, what happened.
Love the 1980's motorcycle helmet he's wearing.
If only the face plate hadn't fogged up so badly....
He cares so much for his little robots like damn 😭
They are 'talking" robots...
I'd say f#@% that robot! I'm gettin' outta here!
It’s Mystery Science Theater, you really should just relax and enjoy the show.
Loved the premise, it makes a good "short." Leaves the audience with the unsettled feeling, yet the captivation is enough for desire for more shorts (continuing a series.) I hope this is something you build upon with more quick stories. Keep up the great work, even if you don't continue this particular story. If you do continue it: make about 5 more parts (shorts) that seem to be different, while making a full movie... those shorts make small parts within.
Have fun and good luck
Really interesting short science fiction thriller, well acted with wonderful setting and special effects. Sufficiently creepy too, especially the end. And Rex was really cute. Keep up the great work. You are really talented.
Great job man! Nice renders, good environment integration. thanks for this!
I liked the shot of the martian creature's face right at the end but you need to pause playback to see it. Every bit as captivating as The Martian. Well done!!!
I love when Mars has exactly the same gravity as Earth.
The concept of Mars is fiction any way so anything goes.
@@shamgartruth1449 oh ok..so which concept is true..firament over a flat Earth?
The existence of the planet Mars is fact.
The concept of first person human perspective on its surface is, as yet, fictional.
so go to mars and make a thriller
@@1SqueakyWheel The existence of Mars as a spot of pinkish light in the sky, yes. Mars as a rocky planet that one can colonize, no. The pictures presented to us are all CGI and colorized photos from earth, created by animators and Illustrators.
Never clicked so fast! You guys deserve more subs! Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy more!
Haha nice!! Thanks for the support!
Very good! I like the CW.
I guarantee, that something like this will happen on Mars or any other planet we go to, because we are naive to think their wont be any other life on them.
Clean little machine, not a speck of Dust on it! Or CGBros! Good work people.
This is amazing. This would get me into a movie theatre pronto.
Thanks for your support and we are glad you enjoyed the film!
Holy Crap! This is awesome! I would love to see this as a full length movie. Move over Hollywood hacks, lets the big boys show you how it's done. Great job. 23 people are totally jealous of your talent.
Agreed, this is really good stuff.
@@misterbplays Now this is how a science fiction movie SHOULD be this is an amazing piece of adventure that I'd love to sit and watch for two hours, these kind of movies are sorely needed rather than the crap Hollywood is putting out.
Absolutely fantastic! Couldn't get enough of this.
I wish this was full length feature or tv series .
Or perhaps a movie or 2.
Well made ! I'm not sure a vulnerable astronaut would have gone into that cave .. . . . But great suspense!
I think it would have been too cold (and dark) for him to venture into a cave.
Tim Dodd the Everyday Astronaut wants his suit back 😂
As an avid fan of science fiction, I must say, that this was pretty good. A shame it wasn't longer or one part of a series. Great job :D
Very good. That last part when the Alien showed. Ooh. That gave me a scare that made my whole body go warm. Like a hot flash.
or you just pissed yourself :)
Spoiler alert fool
Pussy
On Mars, WE are the aliens
Yeah baby.........
Very interesting and well done! Yes, the caves of Mars will be full of surprises! Nice story. Keep up the good work.
Good work for a low budget project. Nice sound effects in particular.
Loved this, great acting, story, directing, great job!
good one. Better than a lot of stuff you see on U-Tube. This guy should make a 90 minute film.
I totally thought it was a trailer. I was all set to put it on my Must Watch List!!
9:39 that Alien forgot to wear his space suit 😂😂😂
Forget the fact that any drippy mucus would freeze in the -40C atmosphere
Great work guys, enjoyed watching it, please do more stuff =)
Oh, this movie hit the nail on the head. Needs to be 2 hrs!
This is among the best I have seen! Thank you!
This was really great. I wanted to see more.
Chicago love
Nicely done. I'd like more plot than just a monster movie, but I was completely engrossed right to the end. Visuals and sound effects / music very appropriate.
Now that was pretty dam good. I liked the REX slowly went back, nicely played....
Who knew Mars was so smooth a tiny rover could just bop along at such high speed?
And even when they show pseudo-first-person footage from rover, its completely clear that the camera is carried by a man) But what a hell, it's still awesome! 10 minutes are beating up the whole new SW trilogy (no hope left for the last episode)
Brilliant 👍. Look fwd to see full length Movie.
very impressive, good story, editing, effects and all with a good dose of suspense and tension
Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed the film!
Outstanding! Please make a full size film out of this!
This would make more sense if it were 2034 instead of 2094
You are dreaming if you think there will be a manned mission to Mars in the next fifteen years. I doubt even the ninety four years in the flick will be tenable.
Jack Fortin Elon musk plans to send astronauts to mars until 2024
Outstanding!!
Everything empty can produces is excellent!! Keep up the great work !
Wasn't looking for a thrill but stumbled onto this. Empty Can- you guys rock. Best of luck on your endeavours.
Thanks for your support!
What he said, y'all are awesome.
roadking99 jokerst bbbbh
This is so good .Well done guys..it's a great story..though i would not have entered a cave after seeing that footage..But really gripping stuff
Tolulope Olamide Ajayi well that would be a real great movie wouldn't it?....
Even though I had a pretty good idea of what was coming, this legit scared the poop out of me.
A 10-minute-thrill...awesome!
One of the few thing that kill any space movie are the lights inside of astronauts helmets. While movie maker wants us to see the faces, one couldn't see anything outside. It's like seeing out at night from well lit room.
I have to say i had my doubts regarding this short, But i was pleasantly entertained as well as surprised of the quality of effects as well as the acting in this short. You not only captured what mars may possibly look like with great detail but made a believable mission with your story.
I would imagine you have your sights set on a career in Hollywood however if you dont you should. This short was better than all the "B" rated films ever created and even better than some of the main line big budget SciFi films.
Keep up the great work we un-uncreative minded people need stuff to watch that is not only entertaining and edge of the seat invigorating but believable as well.
Thanks for uploading i will be looking forward to your next installment of Mars and what creatures in craters it may hold.
You got to love all these movies where Mars has the same gravity as earth's.
Because it's in Arizona.
Yeah, the astronaut could just pick up the mini rover and save its juice.
This machine is my friend, I must risk my life to save it...
This is a pretty impressive short film!
Wow, awesome work! I found it a bit odd that the first rover didn't leave any tracks on the dusty Martian surface, but everything else was totally convincing. You are talented guys!
These short films are great ,they put you on the edge of your seat and nail biting suspense is, can't describe it! Better than a lot of these movies out right now? This short movie here, would love to see full length movie of this! Damn good short film l loved it !!!
Absolutely amazing!! what a great team!
Well done. That was fantastic story telling!
The acting in this was actually pretty good
Glad you think so! Thanks!
Intense...and the soundtrack made it even more so.
good film ,well made would have loved for it to have been longer ,but still good!
That was awesome! I felt like the robots had personalities and feelings.
Nice beginning -I hope you can take it farther-Classic hard Science Fiction !
Brilliant. Except for the cloudy skies from 4:20, the illusion was perfect.
It was 4:20 , of course they were blowing clouds.
Great job on a short film had me in the first minute
love it, well done! thumbs up!
I enjoyed this film. Keep making movies like this. The only change I would have made would be to have the final alien face out of focus or in a blurred freeze frame.
Nice short! Really impressive backgrounds, a solid Mars feeling! Ok the clouds perhaps not, but that is minor and could have been edited out with a larger budget.
I don't get how the 2nd rover could get that far into a part of the cave where the human had to climb, depending on minute wheels, but let's be nice and assume the rover took a flatter detour :)
I think the rover moved too quickly. The munsters may have picked it up and relocated it in order to lure the guy in.
Very good and engaging.
Would like more such as a rescue plan and to see what R.E.X. has learned outside of "Preservation Mode."
Overnout
Yes, Give robots a choice to go into preservation mode.. That's when they start using humans as shields.
:)
True Statement!
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Issac Asimov
A human may not injure another human, but jails are full and wars are overall!
@@markbeames7852 And if you read all of Asimov's books you know there is a zeroth law which is: A robot must protect the existence of humanity. That makes the first law state that a robot must protect a single human being, as long as that does not conflict with that zeroth law. It's the old lesson about the Koboyashi Maru. One versus many. Maybe there was a reason R.E.X. felt the sacrifice of one man justifiable. Maybe the creature is too dangerous for the humans to find at this point. Maybe I'm overthinking it, too.
@@littlemrpinkness295 the robot has a preservation mode because it has no way to defend itself... .... .... ya... your overthinking it
enjoyed great 10 mins of suspence
What the hell? Did 10 minutes really pass this fast? Woah, I paid full attention to this, very nice
Loved this short. I really did. Recognized some of the robot parts from Home Depot plumbing department. Amazed what some very smart guys and girls can do with a tiny budget and loads of creativity. Well done!
Great Short Film. btw scared the tar out of me. keep up the awesome work.
Perfect!! Mission successful!
So dope. Honestly this stuff is the best on UA-cam
Thanks for the encouraging words. Your comment got us all very pumped up!
Magnus Bleach It is
Awesome, better than most full length movies, hollywood take notice. Great work guys, keepem coming.
1969: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind!"
2094: "What the fuck?!"
ouch! guess man never took a single step.
Ya, I see giant lizard hand and ripped apart robot, I know, I'll just venture into this dark cave to fund the other robot.
What could go wrong?
Yeah, I am fed up of such stupid moves by characters in such films. That's some lazy writing work.
As the Geico Halloween Commercial taught us: "Let's hide behind these chainsaws...."
Well, someone has to fund the robots.
He's been alone with those little robots for too long.
Considering their budget, I guess this is a pretty good attempt. That's something we can appreciate, no?!
That was a great short. Good work.
Wow , left me high and dry with no clear ending, how thoughtful.
They ded
PRETTY GOOD!!! A full length movie of this is something I'd pay to see.
Great job making the little rovers into characters that you felt for!
I didn't feel a thing for the robots but I did feel disdain for the astronaut's foolishness.
the only thing wrong with this film is that it's not 2 hours long and not playing in a cinema
ditto that!
_ CheckTease it's a short film dude
kumkum cool I know it's really good I wish it were longer
_ CheckTease me too man,
Excellent
At 3:12. It’s the year 2094 and the States are still using Fahrenheit while the rest of the world went metric over 100 years ago.
Hollywood needs more shows like this.
i agree with so many other viewers. If industry professionals are not paying attention to your work there's something wrong with them. Great all around...just needs to be a full 2 hour movie! Well done! best, R
Thanks for your encouraging words!
love it , ! all my support from France ;)
The first two and a half minutes were straight out of "Star Wars" when R2D2 was rolling through the rock canyon on Tatooine and the Jawa's got him. Real original.
EXCELLENT JOB! Well done Sol 87 Team!
Great job, love to see more!
Very Well Done! Enjoyed it to the full! :)

That was some freaky sh*t man. Short but sweet. What short film's are all about. Loved it. Thankyou. 💖
Nice film! I love how well they recreated Mars; I want to film a movie set on Mars, but my area has way too many trees...that are not found on Mars, hopefully.
Absolutely brilliant you guys deserve millions of subs
Your support is greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton!
WarFighter Gaming I agree hello big-shot Hollywood studios are you listening these guys made a helper film probably for the price of a BMW you need to try to talk to these guys about making your next sci-fi Adventure give them a contract
Amazing, amazing stuff! This felt like a very high quality movie from top notch crew and a major production studio. Would love this to be a full movie... We dont have enough good hard sci-fi movies. Do you have any plans of making this into a full movie and release it via standard channels?
Lights inside the face shield never fail to amuse me. 🤪
Deorman Robey would not see his face , funny haha.
Is it me or did the second robot scream/squeal when it was attacked at the end
