2 Astronauts Explore a Planet w/ Bizarre Fantastic Creatures

submitted by eric3579

7 years 4 months 1 week ago

Marooned on a far-off but weirdly Earth-like planet, a pair of astronauts spend their days studying the very strange, surreal creatures that roam its surface. Their experiments may seem odd (and involve a lot of gooey slime), but there’s a specific goal at the end that has everything to do with good ol’ homesickness.

Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner’s animated vision of an alien ecosystem is both fascinating and totally weird. There’s no dialogue in Scavengers, just eerie, visceral sound effects and faintly haunting music. - io9

Makes me think of No Man Sky's first trailer. The colors and alien creatures.

No Man's Sky just should have been a procedurally generated universe. They failed at a relatively simple goal that can be complicated to construct.

This takes imagination and a type of understanding that's more rare to come by, and more difficult to execute.

So good. Sound design/ foley was amazing.

Fantastic. The mundane survival tasks become fantastical on an alien planet. Looks for all the world like a Moebius drawing animated.

Rather than No Man's Sky, I got the impression that it was a re-enactment of a Samorost-style game.

Scavengers Reign | Official Teaser | HBO Max has been added as a related post - related requested by kir_mokum on that post.
