Pretty good

A very good short, made by a talented person that you can tell puts alot of effort into his shorts, it is not a great short by todays standarts but a very well crafted one and perfectly shows the roots of this arg genius.

The Best Short-Film Ive Seen Yet

Despite being 12 years old, this is the better then the rest by far. The desktop-esk story telling style is perfect for the story that is being told. I personally think that it aged incredibly gracefully, as it, when given a modern look, bring you back to the old days of the internet. The ending could be guessed on a first watch, but like the main character, you most likely would most likely get to swept up to realize it.

Thanks but no thanks

"Internet Story" is a 10-minute short film from 2010, so it had its 5th anniversary last year. It was written and directed by Adam Butcher. I personally felt that this was a little movie where the filmmaker intended to be much more creative than he had the actual talent to be. This film is fast, no doubt about it. But it also lacks focus and restraint to a level where it is almost painful too watch. Sometimes subtlety is the key. This one does not have any. About the topic itself: I don't want any money. I don't want to take part in any modern treasure hunt. i don't want to watch people take part in any modern treasure hunt. I don't want to watch people watch people take part in any modern treasure hunt. The result was that I basically had zero interest in this film. The ending with the murder seemed like the filmmaker's desperate attempt to still make this watch somewhat relevant. He did not succeed. I give this one thumbs-down and suggest you stay away. Nothing interesting or memorable to see here.
