Three generations of women are stranded in a foreign planet in the sci-fi short film “Ro & the Stardust,” and only one of them dreams of escaping. Will her wish come true?
Directoled and written by Eunice Levis, the short stars Cindy De La Cruz as titular protagonist Ro, a young girl with a rebellious streak, who secretly helps her grandmother make a spaceship, the only way out from their planet.
Less than 20 minutes long, “Ro & the Stardust” is an awkward blend of family drama and science-fiction elements. Ro’s grandma is no astronaut, so their project seems a pipe dream.
For those looking for a solid sci-fi film with snazzy special effects, “Ro & the Stardust” is a pretty underwhelming watch. It’s the kind of story that could’ve simply taken place on earth and didn’t need the science-fiction angle at all.
Rating: 2 on 5. You can watch the film on YouTube or Netflix.
