Queen’s plans go awry when her home-made honing device accidentally sounds, attracting unwanted attention. The siblings narrowly escape capture but, during the chaos, Birdie is shot in the stomach.

And this is why you train to become adapt with firearms, so you wont miss those crucial shots with weapon you have never fired, since you never know when those skills come handy and at that point it might be too late to learn hard way, just consider if that was single use AT weapon, miss and you are boned. Also should be thing every kid learns, how to safely handle firearm or any other weapon, so there wont be accidents from miss handling if and when they encounter one.

Five minutes in, and I'm out; when your survival depends on a successful operation, these two couldn't even rustle grass without making enough noise to drown out a marching band. STOP SHOOTING IN PITCH BLACKNESS, your audience can't see anything! That's not cinematography! This is why they're stuck doing short films, they must still be in school. Hint, adjust your ND!

Indeed, this is how future will be. We can see glimpses of this even today. For example common somali or afghan people sees Europe countries pretty much like those shiny megacities with little hope to ever escape their unfailingly poor life. And thst is now, when there is still opportunities to change tides and develop.

I liked the short, but basically Elysium on a smaller budget Figured out that the bound character would be one of the siblings, although I thought it would have a more poignant end if it turned out to be the brother having survived to avenge his sister with true vengeance and not the sobbing.
reply

The missle is too lit. Gives away your location to the enemy. But then again, we'd see nothing on the screen if it was that realistic.
The original Battlestsr Galactica from the 1980s, was like that with the helmets. They lit up to show the actors faces in the cockpit of a Viper.

Ikarus has been quite a journey with an incredible team. We're so happy to be joining the DUST family and we're excited for you all to see the film. Post your comments, thoughts and questions. Would love to share what we've learned along the way. Hope you all enjoy it.

not a bow, not a sharp piece of metal. but they have g2a missile. that is undetected by spaceships. nor is she (she'd light up in infrared) why do you make such dumb plots all the time! is it written by teenagers and you make a movie out of it as a challenge how does it work
reply

I just don't understand the writing. You smash a device for making noise and then yell at each other You shoot down a supply plane and then stand there crying over the loot until someone actually shows up to get you Then you get cuffed and not searched.
reply

Good story line. I do not like all the use of low light to try and creat supense. It seem this is becoming more and more pevelent in all movies and videos. They uses dark, low light scenes trying to creat supense and terror not good acting.
reply

Abe was absolutely correct, as were the Founding Fathers, when they warned the people to never trust their government!
The people didn't listen, though, resulting in the second constitution and look where that led.
Smh.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. Isaac Asimov
Almost impossible to find sci-fi films minus weapons & violence, which implies the incompetence of both producers and audience. May its end come soon.

America just under estimates other countries. But its not impossible to destroy america for other countries. Its actually easy. They cudnt evn conquer afghanistan. Evn vietnam fukkd the shit outta america.
reply

Wow!
I remember a 2016 short, Code 8, which became a movie in 2019. I was very happy with that.
Ikarus has the power to advance this and bring us the Queen's revenge for her brother.

reply

at the beginning there is a quote from Lincoln. Although the quote is probably true in content, attribution to Lincoln is false. No such record of him saying or writing it exists.

NOLA looks just as bad in 2220 as it looks now. Don't get me wrong, I love NOLA, it has charm and charisma like no other city. here or overseas. Whooo now!
reply

A powerful film of a dystopian future two hundred years from now with a painful baptism of fire, it would certainly make an intense, fast paced film or series.
reply

She thought that she will shot down a military transport plane, Steal some stuff and walk away without getting caught.
She was a fool fir thinking that way.

reply

Is this a dystopian USA after its fall with a Chinese superpower running the planet Were the flooded areas a coastal region after rising ocean levels
reply

I have absolutely no idea what I just watched was about. Perhaps watching at the end of a busy 12 hour shift and 30 minute commute home was not a good idea.
reply

OK. 5 minutes in, he breaks a machine for gently humming. then has a screaming match! Poor direction. should've told the actors to be whispering.
reply

Finally a Dust short that has a conclusion! I figured it out just before the ending, but it was still the best Dust short I have seen BY FAR!
reply

I dig scifi, but I actually hope some version of our future doesn't include guns. I know, guns are cool, so is shooting people, just sayin.
reply

I know it represents her being overwhelmed by trying to cope with her problems, but that gun belongs on a bipod or tripod mounting of some kind.
reply

These shorts are nothing less then stunning & in my opinion all are very well done & thought out great short films! If you love Sci Fi!
reply

Great production design and VFX! Not much of a story and the twist was way too easy to see coming, but the production values were awesome!
reply

Fantastic Short film, Great job on this, great actors and actresses. The long journey paid off, can't wait to see more of your work!
reply

gotta love these future tech. get out of handcuffs with a screwdriver!
and afterwards she got free by running thru corridors

reply

Wow! That one hit me hard at the end! Didn't know it was her until the very end and then BANG! Awesome ending!
reply

I just effing hate movies shot in the dark (for effect) so that you have no idea what’ going on.
reply

that's the problem with giving people nothing to live for
they have nothing to lose any longer

reply

I’m confused. Who is who I tried to understand the story but failed. Nice try though.
reply
