More About “OVERLOCKED: Origins”:
Several thousand years into the future, Earth’s natural resources are nearly depleted, forcing humanity to venture beyond the boundaries of our solar system to terra-form and harvest new worlds. Due to such rapid expansion, the frontier regions have become unstable and dangerous. Ava Huxley, an orphan-turned-former military special operative, is one of the few brave souls to face this challenge with her foster father, Hank Huxley — both combat vets-turned-freelance miners. After a cave mining excursion on a particularly desolate desert moon, Mordos, they encounter a mysterious group of nomadic outlaws, who murder Hank in cold blood, Ava barely escaping with her life. One month later, Ava is at rock bottom after yet another failed attempt at therapy. Giving into her impulses, she ends up taking matters into her own hands and prepares to return to Mordos to kill as many of the nomadic outlaws as possible — a suicide mission of sorts. After crossing paths with a fledging young cargo pilot , Jade Starunner, Ava convinces her to give her a ride back to the site of her father’s death under false pretenses. Upon arrival, Ava admits her true motive and bargains with Jade to return in a few days. Overwhelmed, Jade refuses and abandons Ava, who ultimately succumbs to her fate and faces the violent nomads head on — but, in a twist of fate, Jade has returned to help, only to have her ship shot-down in the process, leaving the two of them stranded and surrounded by the gang. With their budding connection having rekindled hope in themselves and their futures , they decide to face this new world together, one step at a time.

Well, I didn't expect to see a WWII era MK I NDO mask on a bad guy.

ah the raider had one of those muslim arab towels around his neck, good to know that the director knows that muslim arabs are a danger to us all

LOVE THE $4 TEMU RESPIRATOR!

THAT MASK IS REALLY GOOD TOO! BOUGHT 4 MYSELF FOR WORKING UNDER CARS, POWER TOOLS ETC.

ANTI FOG !

My friend Nathan, what a professional job. 18 minutes is enough time to set the stage for a full length cinematic journey.
@sonovivo1247 August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
RIDICULOUS: (1) a planet with exactly the same gravity and (2) even AIR(!!) like on earth, and (3) an enemy with 100% earthy boots. (4) A guy, 2m from his daughter gets killed by an enemy who doesn’t bother about the woman.
(5) The acting is very amateuristical, and (6) the story seems made up be teenagers, with a lack of realism and consistency, especially according to more adequate possible future developments.
IN SHORT: most likes must be from half asleep visitors or lobotomised people, isn’t it?
@axionth27sharonannKendel-jk6ot August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
Thank you for making this short and the time and trouble you all took to make it😊😊❤❤
@kellyhoward6941 August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
Liked the female characters. Otherwise... almost no plot, lots of murky, dark 'n' dusty atmosphere, mysterious bad guys without back story, with even, for heaven's sake, stock bad guy chuckles, no ending. Other than that, it was fine. like Mary Todd Lincoln's review of the play. Big disappointment from Dust.

cool to see star citizen in an LIVE version

O.K. there's no law out there. Ava's O.K. on a revenge hunt, but how is it that Jade is such a weenie? Jade seems like a total Noob. Also, there's a lotta dust and the ladies have no eye protection? My eyes got itchy/scratchy just watching it.
@urbantheatre8134 August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
Well scripted
@jerraddennis2225 August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
oh my goodness i wanted to like this. but the writing kept yanking me out of the story. the acting isn’t great but that i can deal with. but it sounds like a 16 year old from the suburbs trying to write what he thinks people from “the real world” sound like.
want to show your character is serious ? say fucking a lot. like A LOT ! and really drag the word out.. stretch it out.. and have the actor say it as cringe as possible. up until those moments i was kinda immersed in the story. (even tho i have no idea what the story is) but the dialogue doesn’t sound like how people communicate. it sounds like somebody wrote it, which is an irredeemable sin in movies to me.

the special effects and set pieces are okay to me. i can see them the vision. it’s good.



but that damn dialogue..

Probably the worst DUST short ever.
@DavidWoods-of2ct August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
Coooool 🎉😂❤
@xochipili1 August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
Why not just reduce our population to sustainable levels ? Then our only planet for parsecs wouldn't get depleted. "One woman,one child" till sustainable levels are reached.(we have three times as many people that our planet can support) Sure a lot easier than moving everyone to another solar system. Only the batshit crazy money gouging religions will lose income.
@jj2536 August 4, 2024 - 10:45 pm
ive no idea what the characters motivations are here or why theyre doing what theyre doing. good acting and visuals, rubbish story line. BTW the rocks that keep appearing are from Star Trek. theyre the Vasquez Rocks aka "Kirks Rocks"
