This short, which forms the final part of the anthology film 'Short Piece', takes place in a futuristic Tokyo during World War 3. Human soldiers battle robots in urban warfare for control of the city.
Aside from the futuristic tech, this is essentially a war film, which follows the familiar trope of a small group of soldiers battling to survive. Some live, some die, they express their camaraderie. There's not much you n the way of character development, or even plot really. The large story of the war is not explained, nor is the specific nature of the character's mission. Essentially it's one long battle sequence, and while the action is well constructed, it's hard to invest when the stakes are so unclear. Would probably make a great 2nd act of a feature length film.
Visually impressive but otherwise the weakest film in 'Short Peace'.
