Though, the special effects suck and there are some funny mistakes but overall it's great. 
Very nice. The special effects aren't great and the story isn't very original but overall it is a fairly professional looking film.

By the way, why doesn't it work? Remember it does require you to enter the 4 letter code then click download.The download slots for web_harman's country were full, you can try again, web_harman, to see if the slots are still full.
It was a good video, I made a list of improvements and comments:
00:43 - That thing (forgot the name) stopped turning, minor flaw
00:49 - OMG Cheese Media! There goes my expectation of a serious movie 
01:35 - Get rid of that music, I think it just doesn't fit in.
01:45 - Noo don't turn it out loud! (Unless it was different music it would've been a good thing)
02:45 - Nice, those buttons. Good shot.
03:43 - Nice glass, but where did it go after this shot?
04:40 - Is child labour allowed in your country? That girl looks way too young to be a waitress.
04:56 - I'm sorry, but what did she say?
05:32 - Why? He's talking to some high ranked dude and he asks a question with only one word?
06:19 - The most scary part, his armpit D:
07:39 - C'mon, hug the girl! She won't bite... I hope
08:17 - LOL at the airplane! Awesome! I wonder why I don't get to see the whole airplane in one piece 
08:33 - I have to say you made good usage of materials and effects to produce the idea that there is actually a plane. The communication between both guys is unrealistic.
09:57 - I guess this will need some more attention, maybe if you improve your abbility to make special effects you can come back to this bit.
11:56 - I bet that the left guy wears Nike pants
12:15 - I dunno, that smile looks too forced.
12:23 - Good transition.
12:49 - Is this the second time I see the credits? I saw one at the beginning too.
So, I hope you do not take any of these points too personal since many of those negative points are just minor. The overal is a good production Keep it up! lighting could use some work. vary the camera angles more, especially during the dinner scene, it was too obvious you just had two tripods set up......i like the film look tho
why do people have to do this whole silly thing of makinf people download a video. Its lunacy! AAAAND to make it worse you have used a notoriously bad spanning site.
No I aint gonna download your video. If you seriously want people to critique it then upload the video to a website where they can watch it streaming like YouTube or what ever "free" site you can find.
By making people download it you are cutting out the majority of your audience as most people will iether, not be bothered or wont want to go near certain file host sites due to spam.

Yeah, I plan to upload it to DailyMotion sometime soon when I'm at a friends house. Its to long for YouTube, and it always drops out when attempting to upload it to DailyMotion.
Anyway, you still download it on YouTube, just you can watch it as it progresses.Well it's been uploaded to Google Video, watch here. The intro is waaaaaaaay to long. I got bored. Your film is 13:30 long and the intor montage ends 5:08.
more than a third of your movie is montage intro.
This film would be better if you cut it down to half its length.
Havinf said that and agree with everything flakky said and taking into account the age of the actors - its surprisingly good.
I doubt its gonna win any awyards as its not polished eneough but its very good for what it is.
I watched the start and what struck me was the overuse of fades. It was odd and put the pacing all over the place, being a bit on the slow side. I think also that there were moments when you could have done something ever so slightly better, but its ignored and makes us all resort to nitpicking like very cruel, critical people indeed. 
Flakky is right for the most part... And shakey shakey camera baddy baddy bad. Thanks GeoS. I appreciate the comments.
