Quest (1984)
6/10
Don't waste your time
24 June 2020
And I mean it. This 30-minute sci-fi flick tells us not to waste any of our precious time on the things that aren't and won't matter before we're gone for good so I won't say I've wasted half an hour of my time watching this short feature. The premise is intriguing and gives more questions than it offers answers to and by the end of it you're left feeling a bit disappointed; the movie doesn't give us any background story and most of the rules that its universe is working by - instead it throws us headfirst into the action, into the quest using some fine visuals, dark and ticking atmosphere, although at times too dark, and futuristic score, at least by 1980s standards. Overall this is an exciting movie but way too short and way too shallow for its thoughtful premise.
