The Leviathan is a proof of concept short film/teaser from Ruairi Robinson. It presents a future where prisoners are forced to work by hunting the titular gigantic creatures to harvest their eggs. The task seems incredibly risky, especially when you lose sight of your target, which is what happens in the short.
It is hard to properly rate something like this because it is basically a small chunk of an intended film. There are no characters and very little dialogue. But as far as a sci-fi premise goes, it does seem like an interesting concept that I wouldn't have minded seeing as a full feature or even as an expanded short.
Although The Leviathan never came to be, Ruairi Robinson has gone on to work on several other short films and a TV mini-series after this. It's good to know that he hasn't lost sight of the target.
