Best IDU Film Entry: Craterfall
Summary: The Year is 2093. The Human Race has expanded into the stars, setting up stations and colonies in and near the Sol system. Faster than Light travel has been established, and VANISH(Vacuum Assisted Near-Instantaneous Space Hypertravel) gates have been set up in the systems inhabited by humans. Low grade VANISH Drives have become standard on most vessels, and the economy is booming with all of the previously rare items found on other planets.
The protagonist, Evan Dekanti, is a young scientist born on the moon colony Selene, the fastest-growing colony in the galaxy. Evan is studying astrophysics, and is contemplating joining the Exploratory Science Institute. He lived in the Asteria Arm of the colony, an apartment block of all economy ranges where a third of Selene's population lived.
Selene has pretty lax laws compared to Earth, due to Earth having many competing corporations and factions warring for power and control. Democracy on Earth has faded, but Selene remained a pillar of democratic politics, with the two and a half million people living there electing a colonial Senate that manages Selene.
Until one day, when Evan went to go to school, he finds the University shut down and surrounded by armed guards. A coup had turned over control of Earth to a group of corporations, and they had swiftly taken control of Selene. They had also shut down public government-owned buildings, and abolished the Senate.
Evan joined a group of dissidents who opposed the Corporate Alliance's policies and met Kira and Henry, two freedom fighters who Evan quickly befriend. Together, they fought against the Corporate Alliance and in a final Battle at Archery Spaceport, fought the rest of the Alliance's vanguard out of Selene, and made plans to expell them from nearby colonies.
Craterfall is full of action-packed scenes, and the final scene does not disappoint. Evan and friends are part of a strike team to liberate the nearest strategic moonbase, called Tycho station. During the fighting, the generator of the station blows up, leaving our protagonists and the task force running for their lives for the exit door before the pressure drops. The movie ends before they reach the door, leaving watchers on a thrilling cliffhanger.
