Such advanced technology and yet so many avoidable mistakes. Why explore on foot? Why the hell do they open their helmets? It is precisely because of such imponderables that they wait in orbit and send unmanned probes down first! Beautifully made film and greetings from Prometeus!
reminds me of those thrill seekers that want to kayak down a river in the middle of the amazon. with no phone coverage, or people checking up on them. its almost like they want to be in an episode of 'how did I survive' series. lol

Couple of rules from sci-fi books I've read: (1) if you don't understand it, do nothing else until you do. (2) the universe, while not actively malevolent, will still try to kill you.
(5) The third law of thermodynamics tells us, the universe is actively malevolent if your thermodynamic level is different from the local one and the universe will actively attempt to equalize your energy level to the local environment as quickly and unpleasantly as possible.
Well, researchers of distant planets will clearly have a hard time in this matter. Who knows what to expect from this. Even seemingly harmless flowers can turn out to be hostile. It seems to me that it would be wiser to explore the planets with the help of special robots so as not to endanger people. They will investigate everything, and then people will get down to business. I think that was the message of this video. Without robots, such victims will not be avoided.😔
or by the time we do venture out, we'll be living in a dystopia like the imperium of man in warhammer, and humans will be just be a common fodder commodity.
Inhospitable Earth atmosphere. Teams sent to research other planets. This trope is nonstop. If you have the technology, time, and resources to travel to another star to search for habitable planets, then you probably have the ability to make Earth's atmosphere hospitable again.
Except….that’s not human history. People dissatisfied with Europe centuries ago- for whatever reason- did not stay around to try to ‘fix Europe’ necessarily; they left for new lands to mess up, like the New World.
They all start out with the same scenario,the earths air has become polluted etc etc. How about the people of the earth have become so successful , and their planet has become a beautiful place to live. Due to great scientific breakthroughs we are now able to explore our universe. So tired of all the negativity. Mankind should be proud of their achievements, not be bought to their knees by doomsayers
They do not want to contaminate the planet with exhaust fumes, they are conscious of pollution. Walking is the healthier option. These space boots were made for walking.
Excellent job on making this short story come to life...and death. As another commenter below said..."always send unmanned probes first explore things first"....you just never know.
FAAFO…personally speaking. The picking of that lone flower should have been against protocol. You don’t touch things you know NOTHING about. I would observed and touched nothing.
Let's begin by entering areas better explored by drones or unmanned probes. I hope our future scouts exercise better judgement than these buffoons. Nice CG.
If ever you land on another planet, perhaps one that you think is uninhabited, the first and best thing to do, is go for a walk. Probably best to walk into a dark cave.....
Yep. Comment section has it right. Where are the UAVs? And first rule of wandering on an unknown planet: Don't remove your face plate. Second rule: Do not handle life forms. By the time you start running and screaming, it's already too late.
@@Ron4885 LOL!!! Well, reality is that there are no spaceships now to take astronauts to an exoplanet let alone even to the moon or Mars. Heck, we can't even send a shuttle up to the ISS to rescue those two astronauts stuck there. And in reality, I would've tried to get the intertwining thing off me as soon as it was doing so, which is a natural human reflex thing to do.
That's a lot of something from nothing though. You'll want to reconsider your physics (and then biology, unless plants can grow using only breathable air) Nice work!
I agree, in terms of science, these plants are not possible. But nevertheless, they still cope with their task, and help to clearly understand the message of the video.
There's nothing like being highly technologically advanced only to remove all safety and protocols on an alien world you know nothing about. The writers must've been smoking crack when they cooked up this plot.
@@darrennew8211Star Trek’s tricorder might have told him do not disturb without having to touch it. Remember the space hippies episode where all the plant life on Eden was poisonous and acidic? Chekov forgot he was a gold shirt when he made the same mistake this guy did. Gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy-got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy.
you can tell the director of this short will go far in hollywood. not even in the big leagues yet and already killing the black guy first.... (Standard Poe's Law of the Internet disclaimer: Sarcasm intended.)
Entertaining but very improbable. There would have been all sorts of probes, samples taken and analyzed for signs of life, attempts to understand the biochemistry of any life forms detected, etc, LONG BEFORE landing a manned vehicle on a new planet. Why would they have thought the planet “uninhabited”, with flora apparently so obviously strewn about its surface ???
Very good special effects.. story line reminds me of when our astronauts returned on board the USS hornet. There was a little trailer for them to stay in to separate them from the rest of the crew on the ship in case they brought back some strange microbes from the moon. Let’s just say your astronauts should’ve been equipped with some Roundup and they’ve been OK.
Always love the idea of us being able to discover new worlds. We know the dangers of our world but can't imagine what we would run into on other worlds. Even the smallest bacteria could be an issue. Our technology is so far off from being able to safely do this. Definitely wouldn't have picks a flower that's what probes and robots are for. That would have avoided this whole situation. Had to be the black guy first. Lol
Sorry, but you lost me when they dropped their protective masks. No sane person would ever do that. It was reminiscent of Alien Prometheus, when the supposed scientist tried to touch/pet the very predatory-looking snake thing. No sane person would ever do that.
Great, really great graphics. Everything, especially the suits, was very good. Bad story. Only 2 interesting places, the one where the astronaut was eaten and the other one, where the ship had been taken over bye the plants - and that really wasn't very interesting. But the graphics was really good (Maybe except the way the faceplates just disappeared. I personally didn't like it, but maybe younger people find it cool?) So, find a good story, wrap it in your graphics and do a 110 min. movie and you'll have a success story.

It’s called the Ridley Scott playbook! A great effort to all concerned!
A real expedition would do all that, but if a movie expedition does, then there's no story and no movie.

(3) If sensors indicate breathable atmosphere, don't unseal. For the "stuff" you can't see, or inhale.
(4) DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING (See rule 1)

Facts 😂
Whoever designed the spacesuits ..... excellent!!
Never touch things that you don't know anything about! Loved this little film.
An environment that takes care of itself and any foreign objects. Well done!
False. This problem was clearly caused by over use of fertilizers.
Fantastic space suits and the fellow running back to his ship remembered to reactivate his face plate. Good job.
The Prometheus vibes are unmistakable, but the work is excellent.
Очень крутой ролик! Срочно требуется продолжение)))

Yes, unfortunately the high authorities believe there are too many people . .
or by the time we do venture out, we'll be living in a dystopia like the imperium of man in warhammer, and humans will be just be a common fodder commodity.
Unless they get triggered by a biological signature.

Off course, but this is an excuse to go to other planets.

But no script for such a movie! 😁
Now don't go making sense, guy, of course they have to leave
I hope these guys didn’t go to the Prometheus school of running away from things.
"Unknown"...brought to you by WEED BE-GONE another fine product from Dow Chemical Company!
They just GOTTA touch things, don't they?
Just be happy he didn’t tasted 😂

Star Trek did that. Utopian at it's core rather than dystopian.
@@arthurchadwell9267
Agreed right after the Eugenics wars and WW3 😂
Have you seen how humans keep trying to destroy themselves, I don't know if the planet Earth will get better
Funny. I like how the ship was not only entangled, but crushed as well.
Hate to say this, but it's hard to believe they travel all that way not to have some form of surface transport!
They do not want to contaminate the planet with exhaust fumes, they are conscious of pollution. Walking is the healthier option. These space boots were made for walking.
Was just thinking the same thing. Using flashlights too.
The poor flowers just wanted to smell them.
Then taste them!
Absolutely top notch short. Faultless 👏👏👏👏👏
Good film guys, if this astronaut made it back. Next time they land on an unknown planet,send in the terminator first to check things out.
Well done. And sticking to the common sci-fi mistake - not enough scanning.
This is a planet we should pass on for colonization. Very well done and a salute to the composer and editor.
Great effects and art direction. I especially like the space suits. Well done.
Explorers that can travel light years just nothing to defend them self !
Lmao 😂😂😂
Fantastic graphics, well done.
That was EXCELLENT. I mean that was TOP NOTCH. Very, very well done.
Well done. Great storytelling without having to utter a single word. Clever plot.
Nice suits! But a handheld flashlight?

Good short,thanks
@panther105 you're spot on. The space suits were ON POINT. Imagination was not wasted on the design 🚀👨🏿🚀
Homer Simpson in Space! Duh! Such advanced science and everyone is dumber than a brick.
Great short film!!! But did the Brother have to be the first one to die?
Very clever plot, simple but effective!

Great stuff!
Amen. My thoughts exactly. Why would you even land after surveying the planet from space.
Sometimes being the first to die is being better than being the last to live. One never see's it coming, one knows exactly how they are going to go.
Good learning video: Stay on the planet God created for you.
That would completely blow.
👍👍👍
Good video!
I hate when things like that happen to me
All the time!😮😮😮
Love this! ❤
Awesome visuals!
They had the latest technology to get there and yet flashlights are exactly the same.
Very forward thinking short, just as the earth gives it also takes back, so do other planets and not always in a kind way.

Cool video, but why walk so far away if you have that type of technology. Great SFX though.
They might not recognize sentient life if they saw it, which might be a tragedy for all.
Epic ❤
That could put a damper on your day.
"Safe oxygen levels detected."
REMOVES FACE SHIELD.
"But really toxic levels of Benzine also detected."
Exactly, and lets touch and grab stuff without scanning or analysising them before.
@@paulvanier429 Yeah, well they only have five minutes and watching an unmanned probe drive around for the entire runtime isn't exactly riveting.
