Konterr Brilliant and touching

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

kyrat Absolutely brilliant skewering of people who lack critical thinking skills and who believe in "alternative" treatments.My favorite quote was him schooling her on, "Science adjusts its views, based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved."That's really all I had to say but IMDb has a minimum length. So I'll just reiterate that I think everyone should see this. Either because they have to deal with people like this, or because they may be like Storm.After watching this I have been trying to track down everything Tim has made because I really enjoy his sense of humor and skewering of pomposity.

Theo Robertson A man and his wife attended a dinner party and are introduced to a young female dinner guest called Storm who believes modern day medicine is in fact a myth and that alternative medicines are far more healthy and effective This is an animated short film that has Tim Minchin narrating the on screen action as a poem . What made me seek out this short was that it has a " Thanks to Rebecca Watson " credit . Rebecca Watson if you didn't know is someone who has recently been hijacking the new atheist movement with her barely disguised agenda of feminism . It's not the feminism that condemns the violent misogynistic physical attacks on women in the third world but more to do with the misogynistic attitude of speaking to women in elevators and if you look up " Rebecca Watson Elevatorgate " you get a whole new meaning to storm in a tea cup . Watson has also been very critical of Bill Maher's very public statement that he doesn't believe in the benefits of modern day medicine . Hmmmm . Can you see what the agenda of this animated short might be My own scientific credentials begin and end with O grade biology so I'm not a scientist by trade and STORM points out that because of modern day medicine human beings live twice as long as they did in the long distant past , but is this simply down to medicine ? I've also got O grade history and do remember reading that at the start of the industrial revolution some parts of Britain saw an average life expectancy of seventeen years old . This doesn't mean that if you were twenty years old you had white hair and walked with a cane it meant that many many people died before they reached their fifth birthday . The reason so many people died back then is because they didn't have access to clean water and medicine had nothing to do with it .People also tend to live longer in 2013 because less people smoke and doctors and the scientific community now believe that the average human life span will now actually decrease because of morbid obesity in the Western world . Science can point out that smokers and the obese live shorter lives and medicine can't save people from themselves , at the end of the day if you're killing yourself through your own life style there's little medicine can do for you This is a pity that medicine and science are used euphemistically in this context because it is a striking short film and when ever I watch a short film I often wonder how the makers are going to do something out of the ordinary and STORM is an extraordinary short film . The animation is good , the rhythmic poetry is good but because the short is giving out a message that is inaccurate then it fails on that score

benighted2005 I don't watch Short Films because I think that they are a waste of time. Well, maybe not a waste of time but a ridiculous merriment for our attention spans which if you haven't noticed has really gone down in recent years. But anyway I read the review written by this guy and man, I was curious cause how much could ten minutes cause me. And man, very good documentary! Must watch. Er, I am not giving away much for the simple reason, I don't need to explain the context but oh well I can tell you it's an animation and because I have to type lines, I suggest you watch this with headphones and not too loud to make sure you catch it. Also ummm, I wonder why he said buck, I couldn't catch which country he was talking about cause he has an English accent and a buck is American but he talks of curry so I'm thinking England. Jolly.

Tejas Nair Such an amazing ten minutes of my life that I watched this on YT. Pure magnificence and I am overwhelmed with Minchin's way of using slapstick to show us what reality is.A competition between religion and science - never have I seen a wonderful depiction where there are proofs and not just faiths. Storm talks about how we have all become dependent to the technology and DO NOT star gaze. Much like most of us don;t know why Pluto isn't a planet anymore, the need to Google everything has become a trend which is a negativity.The narration is musical with drums playing, the characters already having enough depth and a creative take on the new era. Wonderful!Storm inspires us to think and like Hemingway said, if we think - we are atheists. A great short film - must watch even if you are a non-atheist.
