Is that the whole film?
Is there an actual film where they explain why he can move dumpsters and cars but not police robots?
Che1964 is as good as any, and better than most

Looks like someone is fishing for a deal like Blomkamp got.
I think Goku could handle him.

finally a movie about parkour

Some of the effects were cool ... but really .. the rest was pretty uninteresting.
Just my 2 cents.
Grammar SS was a time of swagger and steel, gumption and irons

This reminds me, Push was a really good movie. Are they making a sequel?

Pretty damn cool. I'd like to know the rest of the story - seems like a "Hancock" that wouldn't suck.
Tyrsca wishes he was half the man Lloyd Dobler is

to be fair, he did get a lot of warnings
in fact, doesn't make much sense why they'd go about giving so many warnings to the armed and dangerous dude to then just shoot the homeless guy on sight

Very impressive for a $5k budget especially.
Effects over story, sounds like a recipe for success.
JackArse didn't ASK to be completely rad; he's just playing the hand that was dealt to him!

the whole thing reminded me of the inFamous game.

When I see these cool short films, I wish they were longer. Then I realize that if they were, they'd probably end up sucking.

Funny how I had the exact same thought.
That and they open fire in the very first scene and then only later say that it's ok to open fire... All made perfect sense.

I think it's like Memento in that vein.

I don't know. Maybe homeless guys are way more pushy about asking for money in the future?
Should have called the film "20 Seconds to Comply".
I liked the main actor, he did a good job. The CGI was fine. The police "behaviour" was the worst part. Either make them menacing in a 1984 way or smothering in a nanny-state way but keep it consistent, dammit.

. The CGI was fine par for a college kid.
Animation on the walkers were crap, bimmer wasn't lit well and reflections were poor, explosion afterwords was beyond crap. "Yeah I got a cool idea (that I stole from video games)" doesn't cut it anymore. Far from impressed.
Kinda sucked, IMO... dude evidently has telekinesis yet throws objects at the drones rather than just throwing the drones... parkour was overblown.. let me look cool while I run from nothing in particular and then sit in the same spot for a while. Reminds me of those jackasses that bolt from a stop light and leave traffic in the dust and then you wind up next to them again at the next light.

This was plenty long enough to suck as it was.

P.S. It can't be both "alternate" and "futuristic". You can't say with authority what the future will bring.
"Futuristic" doesn't necessarily mean that it's in the future, only that it has characteristics that we associate with advanced technology/design/whatever.
Among things I've heard described as futuristic lately: smart phones and cars.
So nyah.
shut up, girl. you think you so smart, just cause you can read.
I don't think he's going to call me back.

Check out a French film called B-13, really badass movie with a lot of parkour. Made me rethink my opinion of the French, in some aspects at least.
