Ambient Online

I watched this by chance, as it cane up on our hosts visual channel. Simple premise, a dystopic post event world, an Artificial Intelligence event in particular. We start in the usual cantina, with a not so wretched hive of scum and villainy, populated by the remain of the cast from Grease, or are they the Jets from Westside story, I get distracted..

A small band of hero's trying to save the day.. Imagined on very small budget and this is why most people will give up, the acting is variable but tolerable for something that looks like a film course graduation piece.

However, as each episode is 3, yes 3 whole minutes long, it can be forgiven its many sins. Simple and quick, oh and a little bit schmaltz, here and there. There, is that ten lines yet?

I love post-apocalyptic themes so I went into this one with high expectations. Sadly, this short series wasn't up to snuff. Acting was mediocre at best. Story flow was awkward and disjointed. The idea was good; a computer program/virus kills off users through a sort of sound wave. However, we don't know how it gets into computers, or why. The ending was anti-climatic and finite. So there can't be any more of this series made.
