Review of Helium

Helium (2005)
6/10
Strictly one joke
30 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This is a short film that does show skill and some originality, though the joke wasn't all that funny and there really wasn't any more to it than that.

The film is a fake news bulletin. A helium advertising balloon has crashed and since helium is a stable inert gas, there is no fire--just lots and lots of helium released in the air. As a result, the reporter and the witnesses all talk in a high voice--as if they all just sucked in helium (sounding a lot like Munchkins). That's all there is to it and at 3 minutes, the film actually seemed a bit long. I would like to see the film makers try again, but perhaps with a longer news cast. This helium item along with some other fake news could prove to be quite funny.
