I don't know what to say about this film, it's very mysterious. And i don't know about what the film is:) But this is a great job to make film so realistic.
Congrats!

The textures and lighting worked very well together. The whole look of the film corresponded with the story line. It was a very unique and refreshing idea. Excellent work!

Great work and idea. Congratulations for three Polish guys created "Mantis". This film shows that good story is a core of creating great film. Technology, skills and software is only a tool.
P.S.
Gratulacje za malo efektów, kolorów i innych rozpraszajacych bzdetów. Film jest zaskakujacy i daje sie ogladac kilkadziesiat razy. Nie nudzi.
Brawo.

GREEEAAT!!! Fantastic film, and I don't get people who complain for story. The atmosphere is similar to the TOOL videos (if someone saw them).
First 10/10 in this portal.

Very well done.
Contrary to some of the posts, I found the plot to be very well-translated... definately a good representation of the irony which can accompany love. Nice texture work and lighting.
Great film, saved permanently on my HD :).

Well, I thought it was great animated...
I thought the story was good..
I see it as that she had been through what she put him through, or something like that..
Anyway..
8/10
for highest score: better story and smoother movement (enviorment vs. object-movement)

I was really impressed with the film, however I do agree with the one who said the story is the weak part, but I wouldn't put it so strongly. Maybe the girl robot, the 'evil' one replaced a missing part with one from the tinkerer's body or something like that, to tie up the film more completely. Excellent, though, and don't pay too much attention to criticism. I only wish I could do something as amazing.

I liked the hidden meaning in the title "Mantis", which relates to how the male bot is killed by the female. Great movie!

The point of the story (I believe)is that life is full of unexpected events. No one is prepared when something out of their expectation happens.Anything can happen to YOU! I love the renders of this film - beautiful! Nice work! Sorry, Great Work!

this is nice, but whats the point of the story, what is it you want to say with it? a robot tries to build a partner, fails, finds another that might work, it works but is evil, kills the first robot. and with that you wanna tell the world... what?

My best compliment for this film is that it's sick, twisted, and very disturbing. At least it wasn't boring. Steven Spielberg must have watched this just before he made A.I.
