Fallout: Distress (A Fallout fan film)

[Korin]

Joe Corr with director Jake Trevaskis have made a Fallout fan film. Based on Fallout 3, it was made by a 3 person crew located in Australia. What do you think?

Liking it so far, but the guy and his clothes look much cleaner than they should, IMO. Also, I love the sight on his gun. Imagine trying to aim with that thing...

I really liked this, they built the suspense really well and good Fallout feel to it.

*spoilers*
That ape suit though... made me laugh.

I liked this short film. However... I don't know. I expect people in movies and books to act with a certain consistency. Sure, sometimes people surprise you and do something out of character. However, this character seemed all over the place.

So, the internal struggle to help out... well done. But, why try to help a person out, then turn around and kill his kid later? Unless it was supposed to be a "mercy killing." But, I don't know if I can believe that. After all, while he did a very quick assessment of the kid, he didn't really know how wounded he was. And second, the character showed very little remorse about killing the kid. He seemed (slightly) more upset about not being able to help out the father. If the main character is supposed to be "evil", then they should own it: Have him go in and look for supplies without bothering to check the condition of the father. Maybe it comes out better as a written story, where the author can tell the reader what is going on in the characters' heads.

I like it as a post-apocalyptic movie.
Although i don't see the point of calling it Fallout. It is just the opposite of Fallout in terms of tone & story.
There are so many other post-apocalyptic universes that would fit with that kind of movie.

My take is that, injuried & without a father, the kid became a liability, not mentioning a threat.
Or maybe he was just there for looting the father...
