Constantly hunted by a mysterious clan of psycho-sorcerers, the Dimensionaires have taken that moniker for trying to find novel ways to escape to higher planes of existence where they can live in their own unique and safe domain. But their enemies are relentless and keep finding new ways to invade and consume their worlds. This is merely a prelude to their saga...

REVIEWS:

This is an allegory for our life in the digital age. We are the Dimensionaires, trying to escape into virtual worlds (higher planes), but reality (the sorcerers) constantly finds ways to invade and destroy our peace. Relevant.

Ella Bernard

The visuals are straight out of an 80s Heavy Metal magazine cover! Those hooded skulls and orange robes remind me of good old psychedelic sci-fi. Pat Tremblay perfectly captured the vibe of weird tales from that era, but through the lens of neural networks.

Grace Lavoie

11 minutes for an AI film is a challenge. There is some noticeable flickering, but the character design is surprisingly consistent. The director clearly trained his models (LoRA) on a specific art style. This isn't random anymore; it's an auteur's signature.

Canis Lupus

A very powerful film. It caused a storm of emotions and extremely contradictory impressions, either a masterpiece or I watched it in vain. A clear analogy with ordinary people. It’s as if the decent masks were taken off and the ugly truth revealed. I was especially impressed by the group doing 'spiritual practices.' And the creepy, though logical, finale. At the same time, at the end, I felt a protest, I wanted to scream that this isn't true, that most people are honest and real. Thank you! Cool effect.

Live Screenings Attendee

Creepy. The idea of being eternally hunted by sorcerers to be "consumed" is shown in a very uncomfortable way. The monsters look like they're made of rotting flesh and old plastic. Excellent body horror.

Helen UFM Media

The name Abraxas isn't random here. It's a Gnostic reference to a deity uniting light and darkness. The psycho-sorcerers consuming worlds are a clear metaphor for Archons. The film works like an 11-minute occult ritual. Very deep.

Luisa Diaz Perez

Dude, this melted my brain. The colors bleeding into each other, those cyclops creatures... I felt like I ascended to a higher plane of existence myself. Must be watched on a big screen in total darkness.

Kirill Averin

If the band Electric Wizard had an AI-generated music video, it would look like this. The logo on the poster is illegible (classic black metal!), and the atmosphere is pure doom. Grim, sluggish, and epic.

Alexandre Tsinividi

Is this a prelude? Okay, you've got me intrigued. I want to know the lore of this world. Why are they running? Where did the sorcerers come from? I hope a feature film or series answers these questions because right now it looks like a very cool trailer.

Miguel Garcia Ruiz

Interesting palette. Sickly green and purple. The image texture is grainy, dirty, which hides AI artifacts and adds a cinematic feel. It looks like an oil painting that came to life after being left out in the rain.
