Carbon | A Dystopian Short Film

I came across this short film on youtube while I was checking out movie trailers. Initially I though this was a upcoming movie, but later as it started playing I realized that it is a short film.

The opening interlogue by Jackky Bhagnani is spine chilling, in a dystopian future not far ahead of us, Oxygen is a trillion dollar industry and the only thing free is Carbon....

The movie starts intriguingly well with the comments on how the environment is polluted and water and oxygen are the rarest commodities. Trillions of dollars are earned through the sale of packaged pure oxygen and water is a luxury reserved only for the rich.

The premise is interesting, the graphics and visuals are on par with the best that VFX can provide. It hits home hard and true.

But what could have been more disappoints as the plot meanders. The story could have been tighter, the screenplay disappoints. Jackky Bhagnani can't help himself -- we are treated to a six pack abs while the guy is shown having a artificial heart. It was a LMAO moment that just takes away from the narrative.

It could have been more but the instinctive filmy ending takes it away.

Nawaz is great in his cameo as usual.
