Viewing Notes

Eh, not terrible but give it credit for the solid production and camera work. Easy to nitpick these micro-budget short films but the details can make a difference. Also this borrows a page from Resident Evil: Extinction (IIRC).

Anyways, I cinematic pet peeve of mine is when there are soldiers, all costumed the same (i.e. they all appear the same rank & file), yet they have different types of firearms. Like wouldn’t the soldiers carry the same weapons?
