    A franchise is born

    A great start to the next great saga, Act One kicks it all off in grand style. Showing you just enough of the future to peak your interest, Act One lays the character foundations for a rich operatic story of future survival in a world set alight. Oceanus is the fresh idea us sci-fi fans have been waiting for made all the better to have been birthed by an up and coming new production company. Keep them on your radar, they are on the way up.

    Left me wanting more.

    This is a wonderful blend of modern Science Fiction and classic story telling. This short sets the stage for an immersive environment that has franchise written all over it.

    Terrible!

    Too long, too boring, badly acted and lacking drive and especially story. Giving it 2 stars because of Bruce Davidson and Malcom McDowell for the computer voice. Don't make any more episodes, it would be a crime on humans and whales!

    Where is the Rest

    This is a great beginning of a more feature rich production that I could almost see as a series. Keep it OUT of the hands of ScyFy network though or it will become cheap.

    This is great stuff, the mini act 1 will leave you complaining that the rest is not there to immediately go out and enjoy.

    I was hooked at the middle point of the act... and found myself counting down the minutes wondering where this short would end and how it might end. I hope they release something more... if not, I will be creating plot and narrative in my sleep for years to come. Please bring the rest to us... this is great stuff.

    Solid intro making you crave to know the rest

    Well made, well acted, beautiful visually, VERY believable, ... nothing but "the right stuff" here.

    Most importantly : the good and intriguing story makes you YEARN for the rest of it !!!
