The Ending of the short film ends with all failing and Michael sets himself on fire while Dr. Easy is there, Dr. Easy comes out fine (apart from the little bit of fire) The Message of this film is that technology is advancing and taking over and it’s not a good idea as technology will never be as good as real human beings with emotions.

I really enjoyed this short film, I think it give gave a great insight into what the future could be like and it’s a realistic possibility. I really like the POV shots from the robots view as it was an interesting take on it.

What did you think?
