I’m not sure how I missed this amazing science fiction short film, because it is bloody brilliant. I discovered this through a recent post at Scifi Wire. It’s about 5 minutes long and, for a film made by amateurs, it’s quite amazing. The graphics, while not quite to the standard of Hollywood, are still really impressive, particularly the explosions on buildings.
See for yourself (after the fold):

And it got picked up by a major studio. Why or how, I dunno, as there seemed to be no plot, but whatever, it's all cool.
Because it looks kickass. Duh.
