This is basically a slideshow with off-screen commentary, disguised as a movie. The story is based on one great, ingenious idea, which has been unfortunately buried under its tedious form. Fortunately almost 30 years later this idea has been resurrected by Terry Gilliam, who filmed the same story in a brilliant movie called "12 Monkeys".
I strongly discourage you from watching this short film, if you haven't seen "12 Monkeys" yet. This is the same story and "12 Monkeys" is much much better movie. The plot of both films contains one very powerful suspense, so the film seen as the second one would not have the impact it should have had. Trust me - you don't want to ruin your experience of watching "12 Monkeys" without any knowledge of the plot.
I added 4 stars to my rating just for the said ingenious idea. Otherwise, I would give only 1 star, because for me this "film" is just a failed experiment on the verge of watchability.
