Sad and sweet, clever transitional effects, directed with an eye for detail.
A solid effort from Mr. Haskett. I had to smile reading the credits, with writer/director doing the editing and family members utilized as craft services and transportation—to me it makes it all more endearing. The cinematography was nicely done, the acting decent and the length about right. The graphic nature of the… Read more
Dude too far back. Oil is fairly new fangled as for as technological dependence. If oil was stripped, we’d switch back to external combustion and steampunk. Steam engines can run off wood shavings, and wood grows on trees. Read more
I think we’re going to see a genre for this sort of thing, Cowboys and Kalashnikovs. What happens when you lose the profligate energy wasting of a cheap oil society (housewife driving a 2 ton car five miles to buy lettuce) but keep the high value/low weight stuff?

Yeah, I was thinking it looked like something out of Assassin's Creed — good-looking render, definitely, but nothing I'd mistake for reality.
I do. What's breaking the illusion for you?
Seriously that scene was so stupid. It's almost comedy stuff, kind of broke the mood.
Code it up, hook up a color printer, and ... instant synesthesia. We are amazed that there isn't already an app which can take live music and convert it to color in real time already.
