Anticipating the climax

[jsnyderl · 8/10 · 21 January 2021]

Obviously the filmmakers took had some fun with this short film and tried some high art concepts. The thing that makes this work is the constant strung of anticipation of how this is going to work out. Green screen work is decent and the effects are decent for a low budget film. Give it a shot. Recommend if you're into odd high art concepts or strange cinema.

creativity at its best

This short is like nothing I've ever seen before, and I love it. So awesome, original and creative.

Creative and engaging

This has all the feel of a psychedelic acid trip from the sixties. I don't mean that in a negative light but instead a very positive one. I found myself wanting to understand the dynamics between these two entities that were at conflict through space and time. There seemed to be clues sprinkled through the entire film.

What was really nice is how Fate and the child is desperate to live, while Destiny doesn't seem to care, even when confronted with the fact that Fate was innocent, Destiny seemed to be predetermined in his actions. the end was a foregone conclusion. that is my interpretation at least.

I would love to see this explored more in a longer format where the creator can develop this concept of Fate and destiny further. Very interesting, I enjoyed it and like films like Pan's Labyrinth, I find myself talking about this long after i've seen it and trying to understand the nuances of the films meanings.

Small budget, so take that into consideration when you watch it, Maybe i'm over thinking it but that is my take.

Original and creatively inspired

[caroline-983-732212 · 8/10 · 9 January 2021]

This film is very well conceived and executed... so much so that I was genuinely disturbed watching it! The 5th Dimension is way more unsettling than most horror movies on Netflix and the fantasy setting adds (excuse the pun) another dimension to an inspired premise and production.

Fate vs. Destiny on Acid

[robinhoodinmoscow · 8/10 · 9 December 2020]

Very well-done high concept short film that makes you want to see what Ciaron Davis could do with this story and a proper budget for a feature film. A unique voice.

Really good film!

[craigahrens · 8/10 · 2 December 2020]

I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem of a film. It left me wanting more. I would've enjoyed seeing this as a feature film! It moved along at a good pace and I never got board, which is rare for me. Great job folks!!

This is pure fun filmmaking

These individuals took the time to make creativity come to fruition with this experimental film. Their passion to get the point across came through with flying colors. Art and self expression comes alive with creativity and imagination.

Creativity Unhinged

[DonSwanson · 15 December 2020]

What a trip this short is! In approximately 12 minutes I went from cautious observer to feeling like I was an active participant, not the easiest thing to pull off yet The 5th Dimension manages quite naturally. This could definitely be expanded into more, but as it is it remains quite an experience!

Interesting short film
