Quite touching and really good visuals.
I don't usually review shorts or any kind of movie. I don't usually care about sci-fi shorts anyway, as they rarely have strong characters and get their execution fouled up, even if the premise is good.
The Outpost, or "Citizen" as it should be re-titled, was actually really good on all counts. The actress was attractive and quirky, the actor was earnest and clearly both gave it their all. The storyline is simple yet effective. This is classic romantic sci-fi such as audiences once found in Forbidden Planet or Oblivion, with enough awe inspiring mysteries to pull a wide audience in.
The premise here is solid and the execution is actually downright cinematic. This was a surprisingly good if simple story, and given how contrasting the one other IMDB review is from nearly all youtube commenters, I felt the crew deserved some praise on this site. I hope more sci-fi like this short come out.
