eric3579*promote *Scifi
siftbotPromoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, March 28th, 2014 6:50am PDT - promote requested by eric3579.
Adding video to channels (Scifi) - requested by eric3579.
articianI kind of hope not. There's also lots of terrible acting, illogic and bad science. Great environment though.
shveddyI don't mean this sarcastically - I really want to know - do you have anything better in mind?

eric3579Is this comment in some way a stab at some peoples views on the movie Gravity?

My_designsays...I liked it, but I'm tired of depressing "torture luck" shows (Where no one gets a break and it keeps going from bad to worse, and even if it gets decent for a bit it is never as good as it once was) like TWD, or books like GoT, or games like Cthulu.
But I'm an optimist.

articianI have a lot of things I think would be better, but I don't know if you mean wholly different ideas with the same setting, or things I would do different with this, or what. My criticism was mainly that elements didn't line up with each other to support the universe they created, and most of all the acting was so stilted.
If you want me to be specific about this:
They lay on that danger is around every corner, but seem to separate from one another regularly despite literally stating not to at least once.
Their attitudes and the way they move and behave in the environment are more like a couple people on vacation, and show nothing to support that this environment could kill them at any second.
I couldn't tell if the daughter was estranged from her father, because there seem to be this "get to know you" scene in the tent, but it could have easily been terrible acting. If it weren't, a single line of clarification could have surpassed that.
This stuff their collecting is extremely precious, but at a point of leisure in their tent they still have to open up their container and look at it to know how much they've collected?
Also, said resource has a stupid name. Almost as bad as "unobtainium" (I don't care if it's a real mineral, it pulls you immediately out of the story).
The girls attitude toward pursuing and killing the other soldier was almost lackadaisical.
They have pretty heavy respiratory suits, but it's possible to survive a slog through the jungle with nothing more than your head wrapped in tape with an air-hose?
I don't like long posts on the sift because at a certain point you just don't want to read anymore, so I'll stop there.

articianNot at all, I haven't seen Gravity yet and didn't know it was viewed one way or the other. That was my honest opinion and that's all it was. Just an opinion!

articianI agree completely.
I liked it, but I'm tired of depressing "torture luck" shows (Where no one gets a break and it keeps going from bad to worse, and even if it gets decent for a bit it is never as good as it once was) like TWD, or books like GoT, or games like Cthulu.

shveddyYou're a far more nuanced critic than I am. I was mostly just hoping for a vimeo link for some scifi shorts![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/wink.gif)
doogleGood thing you've got more options ever since you found out you had more than one channel on your "torture luck & sports" TV package. Try'em out, I bet there's basic cable there too.

doogleAgreed - pretend people on a pretend planet collecting pretend stuff should be based on logic and non-fictional science. There ought to be a name for non "non-fiction" genre.

coolhundsays...Nah. The best low budget science fiction movie I have seen so far, long or short, is Hunter Prey.

ZawashLet's try that again:

siftbotThe duration of this video has been updated from unknown to 13:53 - length declared by Zawash.
My_designjokingly says...Nah, even the local stations are all torture all the time. The other day, just when I thought the evening news was going to cover fluffy bunnies, the news anchor threw them into a running lawnmower. Anything to satisfy a countries growing appetite for blood and depression.
Oh well.

RFlaggNo video is loading for me above... just empty gray space.
