Little harsh, don't you think? (Destiny)

Given the difficulty of making a short film, I think you're being really disrespectful here. One of our own DBOers is in the film, and a good friend of several DBOers is the film creator. I'll admit, it's not a thing of beauty by box-office standards, but it's pretty impressive what he did with no budget, a little cleverness (the vault doors are drum cymbals), and just the sheer desire to do it.

Also, if you knew the guy making it, he's plenty capable of creating something more modern as that's what he does for a living. It obviously was an homage to an older cinematic style.

In the end, I think it's fine to not like the film, but wouldn't it be a lot more reasonable to say, "While I can see it took some work, I don't find it aesthetically appealing" rather than just lambasting it in it's entirety with no explanation as to why.

Obligatory challenge to make something better if you hate it so much sentence, though I've said my piece and have nothing to defend, just think it's worth showing a little class and decency about the whole thing and life in general.
