Wow that's an absolutely incredible amount of world building, design and effects for a short that could be considered just the trailer of a full story.
It's overflowing with great ideas on every level. Aliens that invaded Earth and are changing it to their own planet while massacring humans is not new, sure. But the designs and visuals are great. We're directly thrown into the middle of the final resistance, people are already used to this world, have already adapted somehow and in a few minutes we already learned a lot about the background.
A bit sad that nothing really happens after the exposition, but it would have been hard to do something worthy in so short a time, and the choice to introduce Amir's potential to hint to a possible full story is good.
Great concepts The brain blockers. The criminal pyromaniac turned indispensable tinker. Amir and whatever he might be able to do. The alien fluid (is it blood ? is it something to control
Great designs The aliens look amazing. The scene with the pit of skulls. The aliens buildings.
There seems to be a short part about the apparition of what I assume is another alien race ? But it's then ignored. Another race helping the humans as a proxy war against the invaders would be great too.
