Amazingly good considering its small budget...

T. L. Westgate manages to not only to bring us a good sci-fi short but manages to also make it funny as well...in a dark sort of way. It begins with two super-genius scientists creating a device to transmit matter from one place to another...much like a Star Trek transporter. This wonderful device, however, apparently can also be used for evil...which they learn when a time traveler arrives and implores the men not to use the machine and destroy all traces of it. However, soon other folks start arriving and they men have no idea what to do. But, when their future selves arrive...things start to get really complicated. The film was shot on a very small budget but manages to look quite good and tell an interesting story. Well worth finding this short...particularly if you are a sci-fi fan.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement.
