Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Every Thursday we're traveling through a DUST wormhole to bring back some our channel's classics. After spending his entire life on display, Jim discovers that they're about to change the exhibit. In Captivity by Michael Koerbel More About In Captivity: As the only living part of a futuristic museum exhibit meant to replicate the ideal human existence, Jim has everything a man could wish for. With complimentary microwave dinners, unlimited thirst-quenching soda, and over five television channels to choose from, who could ask for anything more But when his cyborg caretakers decide to introduce a female into the exhibit, his world changes forever. As he tries to relate to Caz, a living, breathing woman, Jim discovers that maybe his sheltered life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After a few chaotic days together, they decide that Caz is going to leave on her own. After she escapes, a lonely Jim is forced to decide whether he has the courage to follow her and face the outside world. For a full list of credits go here

So nice! Fresh idea, really anxious in some parts, and Jim was the cutest! Though I just feel like this would have been perfect with some more background explanation.
I do have a few questions: What are the cyborgs Assuming that Earth now is populated only by those humanoid machines, like in the ending of A. I, are all the remaining humans like Jim chased and abducted Was Jim created in a lab or was he abducted as a kid

I had to watch this twice to understand the last scene.
What I thought were rocks were actually huts, so there is a small community of humans living away from the A. I.
The A. I. captured the female from there.
It was easy for them to escape as the A. I. did not think they would want to leave what they believed was the ideal human habitat.

Love the short film, but if I could, that long dark haired android girl was beautiful, instant date lol.
Don't know why humans would be endangered and some grow in captivity
Did they not understand that we are the same, both have souls and matter, and are the same species just slightly different

It's become rather fascinating to see how difficult the Throwback Thursday concept is for some people to understand.
I remember when we had nothing but re-runs all summer long -- and we had to watch those while walking 11 miles to school, uphill both ways!

He is going to miss the shit, out of that heated toilet seat. and shit tickets!
The way he mirrors each external stimuli. xD
Also, she couldn't use condiments to express herself creatively!

It was ok. Kind of boring and nothing happened to make the viewer feel anything. It was directly taken from a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode of the same exact premise, except Jim acted a lot dumber. A solid 3 out of 10.
reply

The Paradise problem. If you have just a guy nothing strange happens. If you put a girl close to a guy the fun begins.
DUST, thanks for the throwback, its one of the best shorts ever.

reply

I love how it keeps us away from the all darkness that must be in this place as the robots and AI have taken over its world and just allows it to be a cute and simple love story.
reply

It is not explicitly stated but you have to assume that Jim is genetically engineered to be content with his circumstances, and yet he chooses to break free. Cute.
reply

humans need fresh air and the sun and vitamin D how is he not sickly for being trapped all the time. Jim's is kinda cute in an innocent puppy way
reply

It's refreshing to see a sci-fi short that's upbeat and pleasant as opposed to the near constant barrage of darkness and nihilism. Nice work.
reply

It's a nice retelling of what happened when mankind accepted the gift of fire. The wrath of the Greek gods was horrible. They sent them women.
reply

It doesnt matter what Jim and her do beyond this story. What matters is that you keep turning out little gems like this. Well done!
reply

You couldn’t rent an actual Wurlitzer 1015 jukebox for the intro, you had to use one of those cheezy Chinese miniature radio knockoffs
reply

This concept is nothing new. It was done in the 1960s in the original Twilight Zone. Don't these film makers have any original ideas anymore
reply

Throwbacks are a good idea. I really enjoyed this show the first time and now! Excellent production from concept to finish!
reply

Fantastic, thank you so much for making this and I’m glad that it had a happy ending. I hope they procreate ALL night long (lol)
reply

The specimens have been successfully introduced to their new outdoor enclosure after initial setbacks in the breeding program.
reply

Seeing Minnie Driver in a lot of these lately. Cool! Thanks for bringing your talent to my favorite form of media, short stories!
reply

I could definitely see a full length movie evolve from this. I wanna know more about the characters and their world.
reply

Gotta love that flaming red hair I’m dreaming of burying my face in the carpet. but she probably has hardwood floors.
reply

Does anything in our adult lives, ever make us happy as when we found the plastic toy at the bottom of the cereal box.
reply

I bet he realised - after leaving the captivity - to be happier there. Especially, because the female seemed very bossy.
reply

Turn of your digital device.
Go Outside.
Propagate.
(maybe not outside, during the daylight ) ; -)

reply

5: 54 i would have laughed if he asked her if she had a twin sister. But are you gonna come was pretty good too.
reply

After all the dystopian stuff this stuff fills a little gap. I refuse to say i liked it. cause i didnt!
reply

An unhappy female that comes into your life and ruins everything. Humph, Doesn't this seems somewhat familiar
reply

Sucked asshole to me personally and wasted my time. But, please, view the film and form your own opinion.
reply

Truly original ideas are so hard to come by. Upvoted for being well acting and shot. Good sound, good score.

No words are required to understand such a story with deep message to humanity.
Loved it a lot.

reply

I like the way he gives up his bondage of self to change for a better existence.
reply

And another female ruining some guys paradise. An innocent kid and happy. but NOOOOO
reply

Was Jim the guy who played Kenny when they went zip lining and it went to live action
