• 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!

• This is a superb short film. An inspiration to all 3d artists. maybe you could write some tutorials on how you put it all together...
• Fantastic work,testifies to the power of Cinema 4D....Pls,keep the flag flying.
  
  Everyone is of course free to express opinions,
  but they're also free to post their better version of "Mantis".
• 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!
• v.good concepts and well done graphics and effects the just great keep up the good work :)
• BAQWAS MOVIE !
  
• its not just a film !!! its another world . superb work.
• I felt very attracted for the movie plot. The backgrouds and characters desing mach very well with the story mood.
  Too bud for the fellow about the end.
• 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.
• great story, definately the best part of the film..
• 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 :).
• A sad take on real life really....pity.
• 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!
• Very nicely done, with a good twist at the end.
• 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!
• great, and beautiful film,
  but the story is the weak part.
