My thoughts.

Warning: Spoilers
I stumbled upon this Indy film just recently and I had to give my thoughts on it. I'll explain.

As soon as it began, the beauty of space caught my attention with it's vastness beyond our current capabilities. I focused more on the wonderful colors that space has. I'll never see it first hand, but then comes this ominous meteor to dominate the screen. This dark fomite now wants to say hello to our beautiful and color painted planet Earth.

Fade now to humans on the ground. Funny, I was eating Chinese food at the same time that these two individuals were eating. That gave me pause and brought in my attention just a bit more. Then after a brief moment of dialogue between these 2 characters, I began to feel like I didn't like this at all. Something bothered me. Especially, the male character. He immediately reminded me of this dark and ominous meteorite headed this way. Especially, his initial head movement slowly down and forward over his meal as that meteor also rolled forward. Even his clothing top matched in color to Planet Earth's unwelcomed guest. Then i noticed his lady wore a blue top and their apartment wall also had blue Earth tones. For me, this connected with our planet. She was Earth and he was this ominous destructive force bound to collide.

A moment of her kindness immediately changed the narrative by suggesting to binge watch Seinfeld comedy show about nothing. This snapped off his Mr Hyde demeanor but before witnessing his tightly clenched damaged fist.

I have to say I laughed out loud after not seeing Neil Degrasse Tyson not show up on screen as he fled the city. Hilarious, I thought. Didn't expect my reaction.

After watching this independent film my thoughts are as follows.

I hated the beginning because something felt off for me. I thought further on this. I felt this way because the vast beauty of life can get destroyed by such destructive forces of nature. To even destructive personal behaviors that impact our potential soulmates in this very fragile and limited life we share. We have all the time in the world... Yeah just keep thinking that.

Side note later on in the afternoon a news article mentioned a small meteor is expected to go in between Earth and the moon. That kind of spooked me abit. What did I do? I made some phone calls to some family members to just appreciate hearing their voice.

So this unexpected gem helped me experience what film should do. Made me react and feel personal moments. Nice touch.

This was a great short film but the only downside to this was that it left me wanting to see more! But that's the point, right? It's up to us to get creative and create our own ending to the film. I wish I could discuss alternative endings with others who've watched this film. I'm curious to know how well others can tap into their imagination for this one. I really hope to see more. You guys did a great job and need to continue creating. It was entertaining, relatable and creative. Serious but funny. It has all the right ingredients you would look for in a movie like this. Give it a try and share your thoughts!
