Now I really want to see  developed story based on this.

[PoeLemic]

Wow, this could be a full-length movie. I'd pay to go see it or pay online to see the rest of the story. Incredible for indie production.

[johnguadarrama]

THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A FULL LENGTH MOVIE, THE CONCEPT IS OUTSTANDING, AND IN THOSE 5 MINS. THE PLOT MADE ME WANT MORE, SO LETS GET A SCRIPT AND BUDGET AND LETS MAKE THE NEXT CULT TRILOGY!!!

[bme]

Good FX, but this short was too short.

[PanjshirAfg]

They must make a full length movie out of this.... the Alien or future human looked so awesome and the craft design is amazing

[DutchObserver]

Okay... this was the trailer, right? We're getting a full movie, right? Please? MAN this was awesome! The story, the acting, everything. Not even five minutes and you've alreday got me completely hooked!

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

Excellent! No beating around the bush, no stupid behavior by the characters, just refreshing quality. Good work, everybody.

[FIREFAITHMINISTRIES]

AS A MINISTER I HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU LEFT US HANGING THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR I'M ASKING YOU GUYS WHEN WILL YOU DO A FULL MOVIE ON THIS THAT GOES ANYWHERE FROM AN HOUR AND A HALF TO 2 HOURS PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW YOU CAN'T LEAVE US HANGING IN SUSPENSE LIKE TURKEYS LOL COME ON GUYS WE NEED TO SEE THE FULL MOVIE A FULL VERSION OF THIS DON'T LEAVE US HANGING OUT HERE IN THE WIND LOL

[kylemoney]

This was great! :D The only bad part is now you have me hooked and curious as to what happened when she went through the time warp and what happened to the friends and that I know there probally won't be a sequel (as is with most short-films), but man(/woman), would a sequel be cool (in my personal humble opinion)!

[robert-yvyj]

You can't just stop there. We need more of this.

[tedstricker]

If you can't finish it, don't start one,

[rickanator]

just go into these short films and it kills me to learn they all end with cliff hangers !!!

[markusbenedict]

So here's my interpretation:
This is not the initial timeline. The team successfully invents time travel and goes on to be a successful entity; but, naturally, there were repercussions. Something happened that caused time travel to be deemed a threat - travelers are pursued with lethal force, and perhaps 'accomplices' are detained. That is, all except for the inventor of time travel, who was spared by that hunter and given a trinket that allows him to experience the initial timeline, and sees the first vessel on display (no pilot, she died in the explosion).
This is the beginning of his journey, to find and perhaps liberate his friends at first, but during his journey he discovers just how severely the invention of time travel has back-fired. Enough to make his future-self hunt down and destroy his love every time she makes the jump.

[akashroy]

that sudden spaceship appearance scared the shot out of me...

[jaybyrdcybertruck]

how can some of you not understand what happend in this lol its very easy... guy makes a machine girl travells init somewhere or sometime, gets back successfully to the delight of her friends but brings trouble back with her. the guys other friends get taken away and he is offered something in return that if hes brave and smart enough to use may give him a chance to bring his friends back... lots of questions for this but for a 5 min clip its loaded with possibilitys and THATS what makes it good, use your IMAGINATION people!

[MofaGames]

I interpreted the end this way (spoilers):

The alien that followed Rachel back into the present had mercy with the last guy of the friends, so he spared his life. The stone gives the last guy the ability to temporarily travel into the future in which their time-travel device is being presented in that glass box as the first ever time-travel machine built by the humans in the past (the present), kinda like an exhibition/museum.

[joebobbob]

You watch the first part, get interested... and when it ends you're left wanting to know "what happens next?" Any film that manages to make you feel like this is a success.

[abstractbybrian]

I'm slackjawed! What a brilliant story and movie. It's amazing what you can do in such a short time when you bring everything together perfectly. Keep going, you all have a great future ahead of you!

[MarcRhule]

If this would get a full movie, I'd watch it for sure! acting may be not perfect,
but music and story line (or to what it can get) captured me! :D

really love it!

[neirad]

Plot twist. The acting is not great because the actor are cgi
