F*ck, so strong messages: Poverty, opportunities, hope, th system, believing to be selected, passing the way of the thinking to the next generation, and nothing changes. This, this 4 minutes, gave me goosebumps

[OrbitalShell]

Bravo, what a story of where so many of us are in our lives Waiting to graduate, waiting to marry, waiting to have kids, waiting to for the lottery that will save us from a dying planet. BRAVO

A nice look at those on the short end of the stick in something like Interstellar. Not everyone gets out.

[JoelEmberson]

Bleak. Grim. Raw. Sad. Realistic. Absolutely heartbreaking and captivating. The last moments really hit me in a way I haven't felt in a long time.

[years]

mind blown short story with a strong message. I can feel the dire tension of holding on to a hope by being oblivious to reality

[DrTubeman]

Brilliant, "A Thousand Suns" is a outstanding mini series and I'm only at episode 3.

[mantheking]

Watched three of these Thousand Suns episodes so far, and this hit hard. Only 3 minutes to tell a story, and it was told so effectively, and with such economy!

[douglasauclair]

Dammit! You took "Show, don't tell" to the next level. Top tier.

[Berniesf]

This is fucking bloody awesome! it makes me wonder? WTF happened to cinema? bad after bad movies, remakes, uninteresting and boring to death. What happened to originality? We want, we NEED stuff like this, that makes us be glued to the screen. fucking brilliant.

[DanKoerner]

So powerful. This is the sort of feature length sci-fi we all deserve

[chrisfheins]

What a great soundtrack! Top notch quality!

[night-pr]

Oh my God, this is the best short film I've ever seen. There is such a deep meaning in such a short video

[AdrianoGazza]

Absolutely incredible. Beautifully shot, great acting, powerful and simple story. More emotion packed into under 5 minutes than some features! Love this series!

[stefanschleps]

I just binge watched the first three of these in the last fifteen minutes. These are genuinely good and have the feel of the early 1960 Outer Limits TV show. Excellent work from BlackMilk Studio!
Keep it up, you have a hit in the making! Kudos!

[AndreaJoshuaAsnicar]

I have no idea how this is on youtube but I'm so glad! It's incredible, INCREDIBLE!

[anolive]

Out the Thousand Suns series, this one is my favourite. Has a powerful story to it.

[MrKasugano]

Love Death & Robots started as mini anthology also. And they are the best out there right now in my view. Good luck to this people at this project also.

[kvasac]

Brilliant. So much packed in 4 minutes.

[johnkelly]

What a wonderful little film. Powerful beyond it's short length. A delightful and refreshing response to the tired, tedious and bloated Hollywood sci-fi these days.

Ух это мощно, наводит на разные мысли.
