Wow... I couldn't finish it.

That dragged ON AND ON AND ON!!!

I got to the point where you zoom in on the apple.

Sorry, can't say I liked it.

It would've been better if he said "can you fuck", which might evoke an emotional response from the audience, since he might not have any chance of procreating an offspring(A legacy) for the remainder of his life (or stay on earth)
3. yeah!

you didnt happen to have an input into the storyline (or lack thereof) for half life 2 did you?

I have one question. Why did the aliens have to pay to get back home? I mean...like, did some buy one way tickets to Earth and others round trip? I think it's a little silly that an alien race had to sell tickets to for an invasion.

i didn't really like the film. i wanted to, but i didn't. you set high expectations for yourself when you list kubrick in the OP. i respect what you've done, but it doesn't really stand on its own. it seems like it would have needed all of the other films played in your class to say/mean anything

but

i thought the music at the end was very beautiful. you should post a louder version of that

if you're going for minimalism the execution and technical means need to be perfect but alas it is far from being the case here.

Between the constant bass rumble due to wind and mechanical noise which you could have probably cut using a BP ( lf cut-off ) filter and an off camera microphone.
Blown out over exposed areas.

But what do I know I'm a snob when it comes to experimental movies

I would have much preferred watching someone take a shit.

Which makes the (slim) storyline pretty damn silly. I couldn't figure out why couldn't they eat and drink neither - maybe that was one of your goals, leaving an air of ambiguity? I'm pretty sure sillyness wasn't one of the goals.

It was also too boring, I can see the point of making a slow movie, but with so many dead times (like the camera focusing on trees for 30 seconds), you should at very least present more things for us to think about during those periods.

I liked the final music too.

But then again I don't know if my criticism makes any sense, I don't even like movies much, I'm certainly not qualified to be a movie critic, lol.
