"FTL", which stands for "Faster than Light" is a Canadian English-language live action short film from 2017 that received pretty good viewer numbers and awards attention since its release. The writer and director is prolific visual effects artist Adam Stern and this is his second work as the man in charge of the entire project. All in all, it wasn't too bad, but there was also nothing really memorable here in terms of plot or performances, nothing that truly stands out. I may be a bit biased here as the science fiction genre was never among my preferred genres to be honest, but I also felt the film seemd highly unrealistic, too unrealistic on several occasions that also include major plot points. Also I am not a fan of the higher faster mentality of breaking new records all the time, so yeah, this film had it tough with me from the very get-go. This is also why the eventually emotional plot twist did not do too much for me. All in all, I give this one a thumbs-down as if there is any perspective where the film delivers then it is the visual side, which is obviously not too surprising given Stern's background. fitting name for the title/genre too. If you really love science fiction watch it, but don't expect Gravity or anything. Otherwise, you may want to skip this one.
