Yes. I agree to wish this story was longer or introducing a series. Yet the protagonist was utterly inhuman - a congnizant mechanoid - and perfectly inhuman again - a bull ape, gorilla comes to mind. They and chipanzees, bonobos are our closet cousin great apes.
All the emotions we feel, they do and equally as strongly. I see the story as if an trusted elder man, a warrior was given of parents to protect a young woman, a teen daughter and nothing would stop him from doing so.
But he wasn't a man at all. He had the mind of an educated and trained Silverback gorilla built on a robotic scale that would deeply disturb quite a few transformers.
I have watched the short tale a few times now and am about to watch it again and grin at the final charge.
Well done, people.
Peace out; live long and prosper - later.

A very plain script about a robot sacrificing for a human. Maybe that's the robot's programming, maybe the robot gone above it's programming. Who knows.
Nice touch making the robot move like a gorilla. 3D is video game quality, but still more than good enough to tell the story.
When the robot gets shot in the head, I was expecting to see another soldier with a bigger gun, because the guns of the soldiers where seem to be very inefficient against the robot. The soldiers had the robot from different angles. If they knew it's soft spot and they where that good at shooting, they shouldn't had a problem shooting it down the first time it attacks them.

Three things that bug me in this video, which unfortunately is a common trope in sci-fi videos: 1) the 'head' of a robot doesn't have to have the 'brain' -- why not in the center of the torso 2) to make it feel 'week', it has human-like movements after the 'event', and 3) why do all the guns do no damage to him except the one shot Contrived events and actions to elicit human emotion. Kind of like the uncanny valley. close, but the inconsistencies make problems like these stand out even more.

Very cliche. probably a lot of effort went into CGI and production, but, so what 100th iteration of a fraction of something. At the end of the day, sadly, just another hamburger from another fast food chain.

They know how to make sad robotic movies, just hope when they make AI robots, that they give them rights, otherwise, we are no better then all the racists on the planet.

Brought to mind King Kong w/ a futuristic mechanical twist. Great story w/ 0 dialogue so much emotion. KUDOS to the creators.

Hell of a shot for a dying man, or cyborg, little much of emotional side, but good effects.
