    The colonists came looking for a new home… and found a war instead. This feels like a lost Hollywood sci-fi epic! 🔥🚀

    It made no sense for the soldier to use a ground craft to go after the science woman - unlikely the jungle and terrain would be all passable with a vehicle.

    Definitely a lot of work, great job. Not too many people are producing more than the clips and posting as shorts. Not perfect but definitely demonstrates the potential.

    The lizard guys stuck me as impressive, ruthless and smart. The music towards the end is great. Looking forward to the 3rd instalment!

    Some really good scenes in this. I definitely got a Halo meets Avatar vibe. I noticed a few AI hallucinations and inconsistencies here and there, but nothing that really ruined the experience. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes. Thanks for sharing your work!
