Inside a warehouse, a precarious 70-100 feet long structure has been constructed using various items. When this is set in motion, a chain reaction ensues. Fire, water, law of gravity as well as chemistry determine the life-cycle of objects - of things. It brings about a story concerning cause and effect, mechanism and art, improbability and precision.... (Full plot summary below)

| NonficsChristopher CampbellYou really can't get much more perfect than this, at least in terms of executing a planned showcase of reality in the laws-of-physics sense. I only wish it was longer. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA short flick in color about a Rube Goldberg contraption ingeniously brought to life in a warehouse. |
| User ReviewMartin OThe only way to zone out for 30 minutes. A perpetual motion structure that just goes and goes... I think I learned more about physics by watching this than I did in high school. |
| User ReviewThe MIf you like Rube Goldberg machines, you'll love this! |
| User Reviewtom dit's a huge amazing machine made by two New York artists out of a whole load of everyday objects, chemicals, fire and water. it runs for half an hour. it may well be one of the best things i've ever seen. |
| User Reviewsteve cOoooo. Ahhhh. Wowww. Hurrah to the two amazing eggheads who built this, and boo to the Honda ripoff. . |
| User ReviewBryan WDespite some obvious time lapse edits, this is a fascinating and fun long-take look at a few silly experiments that rely on timing, speed, pressure, weight, and reaction to create an indelible chain of jaw-dropping events without music or dialogue. With its brief runtime, simple premise, and fringe appeal, it's guaranteed that someone you know hasn't seen it, making primed to please any audience. |
| User ReviewNichole MWorth watching the 30-minute original (inspiration for the Honda Accord commercial). It wasn't done in one take, and there are some lingering moments (much of the sequence involves chemistry), but it's still amazing overall. |
| User ReviewKevin LAnother living example as to why Rube Goldberg inventions are some of the world's most fascinating contraptions |
| User ReviewDjangolulu SAn Interesting movie created by 2 men in the style of a classic Rube Goldberg machine. This 30 movie consists of about 4 continuous shots of mechanical phenomenon that looks like fantastic project created by some very smart college kids with too much time on their hands. |
