The kindness of the aliens and especially when the guy is struggling to remove his mask and the aliens steps forward and helps him.

It’s poetic how he didn’t know he was the last ambassador, and he probably didn’t know he was the last human

“Which one would you like to see?” Clicks on sketchy looking folder with one terabyte titled: “homework”

i have absolutely LOVED this one! worth much more recognition. It's very emotional, a bit retro and a bit different. I have even told it to my family as a story the other night and they have appreciated it.

"Unfortunately, we've gone extinct" Oh ok
-
Realistically, if an arch structure like this still exists on Earth after the extinction of humanity, the most important information it contains is not personnal files, but digitized DNA sequences. In that sense, the ambassador is not the last living human, he is the first man of the new humanity, ready to be reborn with the help of a benevolent alien species.

Hyperspace is primitive...but the instantaneous radio transmission over millions of light years is TOP NOTCH!! LOL
-
You see acting like this and you realise that the actors in mainstream movies are at the top of their game.
-
With a low budget and amateur cast this short film was definitely above average. It draws the viewer in with questions of why and how. The conclusion was easily foreseen however. The takeaway is a well known trope of humanity regretting it's actions too late to reverse the conclusion. With more short films like this, the writers and studio have a long but bright road ahead.

Had this not been an Ad, I would have missed out on watching this little gem.

Anyone here because of mystery recapped?
-
"Unfortunately we gone extinct" that's a funny way to say we got no reception lol
-
The one time I'm happy to click on an add, this is a beautiful film

A very engaging film. However the twist was very predictable, it would have been less predictable if he hadn't been trying to get his helmet off the whole time.

-
A strategically placed ad by YouTube and an excellent, engaging, and enjoyable short sci-fi film. Definitely left me wanting more - I do hope there'll be a sequel! Thanks for making and sharing this.

Excellently written, brilliantly produced on a shoe string budget. Well done!

This one really moved me. Heroic people have always been among us with their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good but this was a step above. The portrayed scenario is indeed a possibility if we don't stop destroying our world for the sake of money. Well done and thank you.
