Metroid: Enemies Within

Pigpen: That could be true. But think about it like this. The recent Mortal Kombat reboot did an 11 minute short to kickstart (no pun intended) everything. It was cut into two parts that interwove, one: an interrogation scene between Jax, Sonia Blade, and Scorpion stating what was going on. Two: short clips of some other MK characters fighting and showing who they were like Johnny Cage, Baraka, and Reptile. To my knowledge there was only one major fight in that entire movie but we all loved it.

This would be a condensed story per se but with 10 minutes they could get it all in, have some epic fight scenes, and leave us all satisfied.

In the interview they did Christian Cardona (director, writer, VFX specialist) said that if they went over their $90,000 goal they would have the option of expanding the movie beyond 10 minutes cause they did cut out some scenes. And he said if people liked it they could do a sequel.......

So if we do our part, donate and spread the word, maybe we'll get a bigger movie. Either way I think it'll rock.

FusionCodez: Maybe on the surface. True we pay $15 for a movie (if it's not on sale) and the same for a cd (if people still buy those) so together that's more than the donation but you also get "more" for your payment.

But this isn't just about the reward, it's about what you're doing with it. You're helping people who simply want to make a movie about a franchise they adore. And helping them do it right. They want to put all their knowledge (which is not insubstantial) of movie making together to make this an epic movie. They're making the Power Suit for Samus, for real. The villain Sylux is getting his own suit, they're building a MASSIVE set to stag this in, they're using the best VFX they can to make this look like a AAA Blockbuster. 

So yeah $25 may seem a little steep on the outside, but what you're going to get in return both in rewards and movie quality I think it makes up for it.
